Has anyone with an Intercontinental Royal Ambassador tried to get a match with HHonors Plat. / SPG Plat. / Hyatt Plat.???

you can get a HH Plat challenge. HH rarely gives you Diamond right away. Hyatt Plat can be had as well with some demonstration that you've stayed 10 nights or so in a competitor's chain. SPG does not match to Plat status from RA/PC Plat.

Kimpton Status Match
 

Kimpton status-matched me from Starwood Platinum to Inner Circle status in March of last year: hotel-wise, it was the best move I ever made. Simply email Kimpton with your request and they'll sort you out.

Do you recall who you emailed your request to? I have had no luck with faxing, and i cannot find an email address on their site.

Thanks.

You can email them [email protected] or [email protected]
or send in the info by mail to:

I almost thought HH was going to give DIA right off from PC Plat. They ended up giving me a challenge recently, refered to it as a promotion. 10 stays, 90 days. Not too hard, just have to switch hotels each night...:(.

I must have missed it

What is the fax number to fax the data to Hilton to?

972-788-1818

Thank you

SPG Plat status match from HH Diamond

I was comped to SPG Plat in less than 24 hours of sending an email to SPG plat liason (with attachments of my HH Diamond record).

Now I say good bye to promotionless Hilton. ^

Thanks for the report, brahms77! How long is your new SPG status good for?

As others have posted, the status is usually valid for the remaining months for the year you were comped and another full year after that. Others have advised that the best time for requesting SPG Plat status match is March 1st of any given year as you will get comped for two full years.

For me, I was going to re-qualify anyway for the year 2009 from my stays in 2008 so the timing didn't matter much except that I want to start my immediate SPG hotel stays with Plat status. :D

On Sunday I faxed my account activity (14 pages) from Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and InterContinental that showed approximately 250 paid nights to Starwood. Just received an email from SPG that my status match request had been processed.

On the email they were referring that they had matched my Marriott status.

I am going to move part of my stays to Starwood so it won't be a problem at all to qualify under the current program rules.

Would Starwood match my HH Diamond with Platinum? What number/email do I send my match request? Thanks.!!
