Does it hurt to fail the status match? Can I never get it again if I do?

I think it is a YMMV. Though is you wait a decent amount of time, you may be able to get it again.

Any chance of seeing your language to see how you worded it and got so lucky?

Hi,

I was wondering if you offered a diamond status match to other hotel programs. Please see attached for the status i currently hold in other programs.

Thank you for your consideration.
They responded with an offer to do a trial.

If I have a stay at a Hilton as a Gold member in January, can I use that to status match for the Diamond trial indefinitely? As in, in two years I can tell Hyatt, "Way back in 2014 I used to be Hilton Gold, so can I be Hyatt Diamond, please?" Or is it only for the next 3 months, 6 months, or some other specified time? I obviously want to delay until I have 60 days with some Hyatt destinations planned...
Thank you.

Hyatt will want to see that you are currently Gold AND that you have a stay within the last year.

Thank you! So, just to clarify, if I made Gold in December '13, and I stayed in January '14, I basically have unti the end of 2014 to status match to Hyatt Diamond?

I did over email. After 2 emails my request got forwarded to a different division which did approve my trial.

What does that mean?

I just did it twice and got the same thing
"Unfortunately I am unable to assist you with the enrollment in the Diamond Trial offer May I request you to provide me with details of at least one stay in the last 12 months with Hilton reflecting your name and tier on the same page. On receipt of proper document I would be happy to enroll you."

HELP!

HELP!

I emailed goldpassport@hyatt.com, they said I need a stay within the last 12 months. I didn't have one, but told them I had been told differently over the phone. We had a bit of a (very friendly and courteous) back and forth over 2-3 emails until it was forwarded to the consumer affairs dept. who did enroll me in the trial.

That's just me. More people seemed to have had success over the phone.

i think the Worst Possible Scenario just happened. I called up hyatt and asked and they said i need a statement and she put a note on the account that they are waiting for it. I tried to slickly get her not to put a note (cuz now they know i have called and I know exactly what i need) but she was TOO FRIENDLY and did it. :(

Worst Possible Scenario

It's just a diamond trial that you're not really eligible for. It could be worse - you could be Canadian.

How hard is it to get 1 stay at some cheap Hilton?
You guys are gonna kill the whole matching program.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I can do that, but I am getting back from israel 4 days before I go to LA.

Why is it ruining it? If they dont want to accept me then they wont.

is there still a point in having status with hyatt before signing up for the chase hyatt card?
