Good news for me, never thought I would ever see Diamond but I am in with a chance this year with two trips to Indonesia and one to Thailand this month. If I wasn't so lazy/busy I could check in and out twice, there's an Intercontinental in Bangkok across the road and likewise in Jakarta. Doing the figures, it doesn't make me want to travel more or stay at Hyatt more often, it just disrupts my stays by checking in and checking out. Maybe if I am one or two short in January 2009, I will buy another night somewhere, so the pitch does work. regards bkkrop

I didn't receive the e-mail but just called them to inquire about this promotion and was dealing with an incredibly incompetent agent who kept thinking I was asking about FFN. Then she kept telling me this promotion would help me to get to Platinum status with one more stay (I'm already a Platinum member). After a long time, apparently I got enrolled for the promotion (if she managed to do that right)...the promotion code is apparently qqpd08. Perhaps this can be helpful to some people.

Darn!
All those Q1-2008 mattress runs to get back Diamond, and all the Q3-2008 mattress runs to get back to the beach on FFN's! I could saved my Marriott status then instead and still keep Hyatt Diamond now! (But I did try a few "always wanted to go there" properties).
Well, based on the recent past I really hadn't expected the two-fer again till early next year. Guess with travel tanking its a good way to hold customers and sell rooms without actually lowering prices. Might work.
Congratulations to those of you who waited and got a better deal than I did. I'll see you in the club next February. Aloha!
(Hey Marriott! There is still time! Want to match the promo? I can be bought cheap!)

We would like to remind you that with only one eligible stay at any Hyatt hotel or resort worldwide, now through the end of the year, you will achieve Hyatt Gold Passport™ Platinum membership.... etc.
I don't think I've had enough stays to be near qualifying the normal way.

I've got 19 stays and 6 more booked over the holidays. Now I can reduce those to 3. Would have very useful a little earlier. Could have cut my 14 stays since Sept.1 in half. But hey, don't look a gifthorse in the mouth.

it appears most of these emails target diamond members, only a couple plats ?
it also appears strictly to be a target promo

Nights as well?
Any word whether nights would count double towards status as well, or just stays? If nights count double, I might try to register as my stays tend to be 5 or 6 nights. (Or 9 nights, like my upcoming trip to Chicago that I'll probably book at a Marriott property, or perhaps a Kimpton. Which is why FFN doesn't entice me to stay at Hyatt properties.)

In the past, like the general doube stay credit in early 2008 it was doubling only stays and not nights - for example to date I have 42 stays but only 41 nights as strange as that may sound.
