Quote: 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).
Quote: To which email address did you send the request?
How long is your new SPG Platinum status valid?
Indeed, what is the Plat liason email address?

Just qualified for Hilton Diamond Status. I sent off my paperwork for a comp to SPG Platinum a few minutes ago. I'll update this when I get a response.

SPG Platinum Status granted. Here is part of the email:

As you are already an elite member, Diamond with Hilton HHonors, we realize your potential patronage of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide is great. As a result, we have upgraded you to the Starwood Preferred Guest Platinum Preferred Level. This is a one time only exception. In order to retain your Platinum Level membership for next year, you will need to have a minimum of twenty five eligible stays or fifty eligible room nights. This number is based upon a calendar year basis, January 1 through December 31

It looks like I have about eight months to get this done. I thought the match was supposed to last until the next calendar year but it's all good.

This email notwithstanding, in all likelihood your status will last until Feb 2010.

Hilton ?
Just registered for the 15K miles promotion with LH/HHONORS and would like to know if there are any current offers regarding a challenge to Gold / Diamond !?

The first page provides 4 links of which 3 are inactive and one is from 2007.

Thanks in advance,

I was just matched to Hyatt Diamond with my spg plt status, which is good.
But the Diamond status is good only until Feb. 2009. Is this typical their offer?
I am not sure if I can maintain this status as there are only less than 8 months left this year....

Aug 1st and after is the date I believe that they will match your status to diamond for the remaining of the year AND the following year till Feb 2010.

And also to clarify Hilton has a rolling qualifcation tier, so you have 12 months to qualify (or in this case till your status expires if you don't want to lose benefits) instead of the calendar year.

Sample Letter/FAX
Hi, all.

First, I'd like to thank all of FTers for valuable information you always provide me.

Today, I am looking for somebody who can help me to write a nice letter/FAX to ask for status match in good and polite way.

I am not good at English and I don't want them to think I'm just a idiot from my poor English.

Can anyone help me ?

Please post a sample here or PM.

Regards

I am Marriott Lifetime Plat. Does that qualify to be matched by other chains? And, if so, do I have to stay X nights/year OR is it matched for Lifetime?

Quote: For SPG it's March 1, gets you pretty much 2 full years of status.
Is this still true? If I match my HHonors Diamond to SPG Platinum, I'll have SPG Platinum until Feb 2010??
