I like my top-level status, but at these rates I can't afford both Hyatt and Hilton status without a significant trip-generating promo. Instead, I'm starting to burn my stash of 110k Hyatt points, with a 2-night stay during the Brooklyn Reality Tour for starters.

Ummm, isn't there a stays count double promo going on right now with Hyatt until June 15? Someone had mentioned this in another thread so I emailed Hyatt CS and asked to be registered. A day or two later I was signed up and a day or two after that I received retroactive double stay credit back to March. Give it a shot.

I think that double stay promo was targetted to Diamonds (and Platinums?) who lost their status 2/09. There were reports of people being successful in getting registered for it upon request.

I just sent an e-mail to Hyatt requesting the promo just in case -- I will report my reply. I am already a Diamond.

I just called and requested the promo. Worked like a charm! got retro credited for all my stays from March 15 within a few hours of signing up.

My Private Line Agent said she has received a number of queries from FTers about this promo. It is targeted toward those who were diamonds but dropped to plat. It is meant to help them regain their diamond status.

I don't fall into that group, and she just enrolled me in it.^

So has Flyertalk rule No. 1 been invoked? (If you get a "no," call back until you get a "yes"). I am a diamond and would have loved to be in on this promo but now it's over in 27 days. Wish they would have a stays count double promo officially.

Mine said the same thing - perhaps we both have someone who knows too much about Hyatt - whereas the lucky people have perhaps encountered less well trained agents.
