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.

Same here once i got through to them. Initially the faxes wouldn't go through to their number - it was constantly busy 
Then I emailed them, they emailed back and I replied with scans of the card and HH statement. The next day the match specialist contacted me and told me I had been upgraded to Diamond till feb 09 ^ Thanks to all here for the helpful info.

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...

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.

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.
