Does anyone have experience with Kempinski matching status??

I'm RA right now and have some possible upcoming Kempinski nights. Does Kempinski match RA's???

Any thoughts are welcome.

Markus

Does Kempinski have it's own program? I know they are part of the Global Hotel Alliance. Anyone have luck matching with that program?

Any recent info on Hyatt matching Diamond? I'm SPG Platinum, the last report on this thread was a negative in Oct 09.

If you are refering to my post, please be advised that although I spent 64 hotel nights at different chains before the status match request, I was NOT in an elite status with any of them then. The info posted by the OP gleff still remains in effect.

Sorry for the confussion.

Sent a scan of my HH Diamond Card to Hyatt, they sent me back this:

The recent tier match/switch program has been discontinued as of September 13, 2010. Members must call Gold passport Customer Service at 1-800-232-3360. Instructions will be provided for the procedure.

Please let me know if I may assist you further. Thank you for support of the Hyatt Gold Passport program.

Sincerely,

John Anselment
Hyatt Gold Passport Customer Service
I asked (a supervisor) if they could still match since I was only a day late from the cutoff and they said for me to send in my most recent HH activity, which I did.

A few hours later:


On behalf of Hyatt Gold Passport®, I am pleased to inform you that your account has been upgraded to Diamond membership through February 28, 2012. As a member of our most elite tier, you will be instantly recognized as one of our most valued guests at any Hyatt worldwide.

I'm confused...is Hyatt no longer allowing status matching?? Or has the procedure simply changed for getting a status match?

I just tried to status match with Hyatt from Priority Club platinum--they said they are not doing status matches anymore.

They are now providing a challenge-type arrangement. Stay X amount of times within Y period of time and get regular Diamond status.

I wouldn't be surprised if this change has something to do with the Hyatt credit card sign-up benefit for Diamond members (two free nights in suites).

So this is confusing. I talked to them on the phone and they said no more status matching as of 9/16. Then yesterday i get an email matching me to platinum until nov 30 and if i stay 6 nights between now and then I will get platinum until feb 2012.

Good thing i had 6 nights already reserved before i got that email!

umct Sep 27, 2010 10:29 pm

I sent an email to [email protected] with a scan of the front and back of my Hilton Honors Diamond card and a screen capture of my Hilton stay history. An hour later I received a reply that SPG had upgraded my SPG Gold to SPG Platinum through 2011.
The only thing that could make me happier is if Planet Hollywood in Vegas and the Resort at Singer Island in FL were still Starwood properties.
