I just called recon today. I'm hoping the approval takes some time...just stumbled across this thread now...arghh
I'm assuming I'll miss it because from what I read I will need to fight with hyatt to get the diamond status without a stay history.
Is there anyway to request the suites ex-post-facto if it's within a day or two? Who would I call Chase or Hyatt?
I just got matched with a 1000 point transfer from AMEX, no questions asked.

I didn't catch the trick earlier. So as long as I post any activity (including an AMEX transfer) they will match? Don't they see the points were just transferred?

The screenshot should only show the points ans status, not activity.

I had a Diamond Trial from earlier in the year (around January) and only completed 8 nights worth of stays. I am going away again at the end of the month and wanted to get Diamond status again (hopefully this time complete it) so I spoke to Hyatt CS and told them that I wasn't able to meet my stay requirement because something came up and asked to re-enroll. After a little back and forth I got them to re-enroll me in the Diamond Challenge but I did not get 4 new suite upgrades. Didn't try churning the card for 2 suite nights but if I am Diamond and applied for the card again I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I just reconned a Hyatt card on Tuesday before I knew about this Diamond Trial shtick. I'll try as well. Please keep me posted on any progress.

I don't know if this is too late for you, but I just stayed there last week as a diamond on an award . It seems that this time of year is high season there and the property and rooms are pretty full, so I wouldn't count on something opening up.

I also want to mention that while I heard very good things about the hotel, I personally wouldn't use an award here. The service is impeccable and the rooms are very nice but the property reminds me of Har Nof:  lots of buildings crammed into a very small propety area.

Also, it can be a bit cold for going to the beach(if that's what you want to do). When we were there it was a high  of 65. The scenery along Route 1/PCH is amazing though.
I already booked my flights, so sort of too late...
Did you stay in slandered room or suite? if the former - ocean views?

I know I'm not going to a beachfront property... its something different. but, overall, you didn't enjoy your stay?
care to share some more details from your stay?

I'm having trouble getting the Diamond Trial approved. They want proof of at least "one night's stay" with Hilton. They don't care about a points balance. Any other tips to try and get this approved?

Do you have a stay at any hotel?

Yes, Starwood but they said that doesn't count because I'm only Gold there, not Platinum.

Forget it, I just got approved. As long as you bother them enough seems like they cave. I used my Starwood stays and my Hilton Gold status.

Anyone know if I book a stay during the 60 day period if I will be treated as Diamond when I go? Trip is planned for day 61!

When did you email them requesting it?
I emailed them last night and I'm curious about the response time.
Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.

Truth is I emailed them 3 times in the last 3 days with a copy of my Hilton Gold statement and all 3 times they respoded that I should send a copy of a statement (as if I didn't). So last night I sent them a nasty email telling them how bad they are and that I sent it 3 times etc. They replied this morning.

Is there a benefit to ordering a membership card? Will that get you anything after the 60 days are up?
