His own personal view seems to be that they should honor the current T&C and not allow hotels to offer Diamond Suite Upgrade ineligible rates, but my gut feeling is that he'll eventually be overruled by the business and T&C will be changed to make such rates kosher.
Anyway, I'm just happy to be vindicated.
P.S. He also reiterated that online P+C should be ready by end of the year.

I talked with Jeff Zidell today. He admitted that there was an "inconsistency" with the program that he wasn't aware of until I brought it up. There are currently intense internal discussions (he used the word "argue" at one point before walking it back) between all the stakeholders to determine what to do about this, and said that the matter could go "in one of two ways"

I was alluding to analogous situations where public pronouncements have proven meaningless at the reservations/property level. E.g., reservations/properties insisting that DSU inventory for C+P rates is specially limited, despite what Gary Leff says on that subject.

Are you saying the property will deny a suite even after World of Hyatt confirms application of a TSU?

No I'm saying that just because Gary Leff's internal Hyatt source says something about TSU rules doesn't mean reservations or individual properties will honor the benefit as reported. There's a long history here of GP agents and individual properties insisting that C+P upgrade inventory is specially limited, despite what Mr. Leff reportedly was told by GP on that subject. DSU Inventory Different for C+P.
