I have no realistic experience at SPG to speak of...So I won't.
However, I am a Platinum Premier at Marriott this year. I have so far spent over 130 BIB nights at Marriott (with another 130 nights of credit from last year's roll-over.)
Due to a combo of this Hyatt promotion, and the awful Marriott fall promotion (50 nights for 50k points? Really?), I have switched all my upcoming stays (4 nights a week, every week, in Herndon, VA) to Hyatt. So next year, I'll be Platinum (maybe Plat Premier) at Marriott, and Diamond at Hyatt.
I guess that means I'm winning the game, right?

Missed the last opportunity on Hyatt promo because my travels dont bring me to any Hyatt location. It's ok, collecting Accor points/vouchers are good too.

What I meant is that I saw the promo page when I went to the Gold Passport site without being logged in, and figured I could sign in and then I would not have to enter my number, but after signing it I could not find any link back to the top page with the promo offer, another example of how poorly the account page is designed.

Also, I'm on OPM, so I'm not legitimately paying for my stays. I am legitimately collecting all the credit card points for myself, though.

Unfortunate for you but a win win for FTers that earned their Diamond badge. Hyatt heard loud and clear the negative reaction from FTers wrt to the dia status give away (and saw how ppl abused it to just get free upgrade certs) and squashed it.

I can't remember the last time HP Nashville was available on points + cash, despite my asking them to open availability multiple times.

As someone who bounces between Marriott and Hyatt...guess who gets all my stays for the rest of the year?
50 nights/50k points
25 nights/75k points
Decisions are so tough

50 Marriott nights get 16.6K points (assuming 1 Hyatt point = 3 Marriott points)
25 hyatt nights get 75K points
The eventual takeover by Marriott of SPG will drive many Spgers over to HGP. Not looking forward to a larger Diamond population.

It seems quite likely as they probably just "cloned" the setup of the previous promotion in their systems. Give it a few more days and I suspect someone will report completion of the five night milestone. I personally won't see that until late in November based on current travel plans.

I agree Hyatt will pick up a lot of that business when Marriott's sucky business model takes over SPG. But more business for Hyatt ultimately means more Hyatt properties.
