hyatt status match

[Yordai Dooma]

No, but I guess I could order one. Regardless, I don't think it will help me at this point. Hyatt Gold Passport emailed me back saying that I needed to show stay activity and not just the Gold status....

Any ideas how to dodge this bullet?

I was successfully granted a challenge from the recent HHonors Gold. My HHonors acct was never used.

I noticed the match came from caemail@hyatt, although I had the schmooze with gold passport@hyatt (they asked to confirm address, when I did they asked for activity, I sent a pic of my card again and that was it)

What I don't understand is why my upcoming reservation was changed, but only says 'Gold Membership'. (I emailed the hotel stating I'm a Diamond, then got an auto email saying my reservation was changed. The only difference was that it now stated my GP acct #). Online my acct does say Diamond.

So cancel and rebook it.

The hotel is giving me Diamond bennies on personal email, just weird how the gold came to the story.

Does anyone think he was just very lucky, or do you guys think they have loosened up again?

Just a HH GOLD with no activity or the added 1000 Amex created activity  gonna fly if tried again ?

Only get one shot at the Apple .

I applied for the Hyatt Visa Card while I was platinum, just status matched to Diamond and now have an upcoming reservation using the free nights from the CC. I was told by Gold Passport that they would be standard rooms and not suites because I wasn't Diamond when I applied for the card. However, the award nights appear on my reservation as: "TYPE OF RATE: HC FREE NT AWRD*
SUITE DESK ONLY HYATT CARD SUITE FREE NIGHT AWARD."

Is that what typically shows up, or does this mean that I'm confirmed in a suite? As it is, I have an accompanying paid night for which I'm using a suite upgrade.

I actually got it on my second shot.... Anyway you can always open more hyatt accts. A bit OT but can other people stays credit towards my status? I know Hilton allows it.

To be safe, just have them add you to the reservation either before they check in, or while they are there -- have them add your name and Hyatt number.  My Dad doesn't care about points -- whenever he travels, I add my name and loyalty number to his reservation (SPG, Intercontinental, Hyatt)

Not sure whether its a fluke or not, but GH Kauai told me that these two nights are already confirmed in a suite.

YMMV. I've done it with 0 and 40,000. I've read 1000 will do it.

That would be 109 years of Hyatt nights -- would definitely be one for the record books!

I got accepted by just sending them the pic of my card again. There's no specific formula.

at the time I was doing a few reservations by phone, so I asked them and they claim they are completely powerless.

Don't understand. Powerless to do what?  Looked through your last posts and can't follow.
Powerless to grant challenge ?
