Got a follow up call from my concierge today to confirm that I was NOT targeted She claimed that the decision was by AA, not Hyatt.
It's a shame. I would have actually flown AA quite a bit next year since it seems like they're finally (kind of) getting their act back together after a summer of consistently delayed flights. With just Platinum on AA next year, I don't think I'll be flying them much, if at all.

Regarding the matching, I share your experience. I still remember being matched to Hyatt Diamond with a single tweet! LOL. I still recall sensing some resentment from those Diamonds on here who earned it with actual stays, but that's understandable. While I have no idea if the cost of acquisition for me has been worth it, but I have more or less ditched SPG/MAR completely, and shifted about 40 or 50 (I don't count MLife, since I doubt Hyatt gets anything from my activities there) paid stays to Hyatt properties annually.

I was told it included 4 SWUs. Multiple others have confirmed the same.

If nothing else, the supposed 4 SWUs would be nice....as well as the crossover points earn. With my Hyatt stays, I'm sure I'll be able to build up enough AA miles for at least a flight or two. Nothing insane, but still nice.
I'll end the year with 87 nights and just over 70k base points. I think another key part of this is that you had to already have linked your AA and Hyatt accounts together. I did that a few months back.

A little OT and a bit of "goofing" around. As to the question, is it Hyatt or AA's list?
1. Joe - no idea who this guy is, but he seems good natured, mellow (on some threads, this guy shows a measure of patience that I can only dream of aspiring to) and really knows the ins and outs of the program. I mean, this dude knows answers off the top of his head, and they're on the mark!
2. Kacee - Again, no idea who he is, but he seems to be measured, very good at reasoning and reads everything in sight, including T&Cs. It's a compliment; reading is a good thing and wish I can do more of it.
3. often1 - no idea who this dude is, but he seems to just "know" stuff that seems very astute & nuanced, kind of like "inside baseball" stuff.
If those 3 three posit it's AA's list, I'd have to agree.
PS - *tongue in cheek* - if I excluded anyone, it's only because I haven't read...er...scanned your posts often enough on which to make any comments.

Used plat challenge and took 6 flights?
Never had AA status, have flown on paid AA J tickets a bunch.

Emailed my Hyatt Concierge 2 days ago and still haven't heard back from her. Perhaps I should call American.
I have yet to have a response from her on anything and was switched to her last June. Oh well. I still love Hyatt.

So, this is the event that lured you out of a 2.5 year lurk. Congratulations on your first post!

That might be the case for me. I'm based out of SEA and fly mostly AS and DL. When I got the offer yesterday, I did look at routing options on AA, but none of the flight times made sense. I'll maybe have a few flights on them this year, but it would be a backup option.
If nothing else, the supposed 4 SWUs would be nice....as well as the crossover points earn. With my Hyatt stays, I'm sure I'll be able to build up enough AA miles for at least a flight or two. Nothing insane, but still nice.

I just got a call upgrading me to exp. While I do have an account with them, the only time I tried to use AA my flight was cancelled and rebooked for 3 days later I cancelled and flew UA.
I have never set foot on AA metal, though I have shopped my way into about 70k miles. They must have had a good shopping portal years ago, and I used it thinking the miles might come in handy one day. I've been keeping them alive for at least 10 years
I may just give them a try.
