EHD was started by DDF guys?? Or did they become DDFers only after the fact?

How did you do this? I have a booking with the Grand Hyatt ($30) that they want to cancel but I keep on refusing to allow them to do so. I booked with booking.com, should I contact booking dot com or the Hyatt? What should I tell them? As a current platinum member, should I ask for Diamond or Concierge status?

I filed complaint with ConsumerAffairs.com and Bookings.com contacted me, they credited my credit card with $50 to go away.

I said I couldn't change my itinerary and if not for this deal I would have gone at a different time with SPG due to my SPG Platinum status. The rep seamed very interested in getting me to take her offered rate. If you show that you're compromising and just want a little from them I'm sure you can get something. Idk about Diamond :)
(Is there even a Concierge Status??)

Did you read it??

"So, I reached to Hyatt to get clarification about Diamond Premier:
'Diamond Premier is a program for Hyatt’s hotel ownership.'
Conclusion:
If you are after Hyatt second highest status level the Diamond Premier, you must be an owner of Hyatt hotel."

Is there something you want to tell us??
Lol :)

If thats the requirement, I wonder whats required for Concierge!?!
