Yes. I was comped last week and just received 4 suite upgrade certificates today that will expire on 2/28/10.

Yes, my account also showed the certs expire in Feb 2010.

Hyatt Customer Service said I could send my status match request to: [email protected]

Thanks!
 

Thanks to all previous posters on FT for the tips and advices!!

I have matched my Hyatt Diamond with SPG Platinum.

With Hyatt Diamond and SPG Platinum I have matched Priority Platinum Elite status.:D

Did you have any stays on your Hyatt account? I've just match to Hyatt diamond, and i only have two stays at hyatt places, will SPG reject my request if i show them my account activities.

Starwood will interface with Hyatt to verify your actual status. So if your Hyatt status came matched from another account, and you didn't earn it, they may not offer to match you.

that was my concern, but sl00001's post gave me some hope, that's why i'm asking him about his stays?

gleff, is this still available?

Thank you.

No one has reported it isn't...

Just got done calling Hyatt Gold Passport. The csr was not sure and then he got back to me saying this offer expired Sept. 31 ... I didn't take his word and emailed HGP ... I guess we will find out next week.

BTW, I am Platinum with Hyatt and thus far this year have stayed about 40 nights at Hyatt, JW Marriott, Conrad, *wood & Accor.

Actually I checked and the offer expired Sept. 32nd.

Seriously, don't ask, just submit and request.

Success with Marriott
 

I was successful in getting a conditional status match/challenge to Platinum at Marriott by using the "Contact Us" feature on the website. I had initially called and the best they could do was a 6 night challenge to Silver.

I sent an e-mail stating that I was Platinum with Starwood, and will be visiting a new location which will require me to change my business to either Hilton or Marriott. I pointed out that I had prebooked my next 5 weeks worth of stays with them, trusting that they would take care of me. I also guaranteed them a minimum of 130 nights/year of business and offered to send them all of my past history with Starwood.

Within a few hours I received a response that I was immediately upgraded to Platinum and needed 18 nights in the next 3 months to maintain that status. Keep in mind this is over the holiday season, so it might have been a longer period then normal. I also think it helped that I sent it from my corporate address, which Marriott has a very strong relationship with.

That can't be true, i just got a match in mid Oct. (form PC with less than 20 nights)

I doubt that very much.

Why should one competitor assist another competitor in poaching their own customers? :confused:

I'm guessing to prevent people like me from matching from PC to Hyatt to *W
