LOL, just read it again. The first time I read it I though it was just a spelling mistake on your part Which was very unlike you

I am doing a 5 night stay by way of being a "second guest" at GHK. 2 free nights (confirmed suite upgrade) + 2 free nights (garden room) +1 C&P 
The first 2 nights are confirmed via the primary guests status, the 3rd night they only show availability in a ADA room, 4th & 5th night they have regular garden view rooms. of course im hearing that the availibility they show in the hyatt reservation center is different than whats actually there.
My goal is to not have to switch rooms at all.
Do i :
A) 2 suite nights, 1 C&P, 2 free nights
B) 2 suite nights, 2 free nights, 1 C&P
C) it doesn't matter
D) just take the regular room the first night so i for sure will not have to change rooms
E) All of the above (just kidding, you cant pick E)

I know it's not an exact science but please let me know what you would do.
Can we add that to the acronym list? forget WWJD.  WWDD What Would Dan Do? maybe get bracelets and bumper stickers made up.....

If all of those are from 3 different accounts, that's insane and ill-advised.

But:

2 suite nights first, the rest don't matter.

I think it's a good idea to put a wiki of how diamond suite upgrade works. I must have answered 10 people who already have reservations etc who just ask me to give it to them.

I think it's a good idea for the person requesting a wiki of "how diamond suite upgrade works. I must have answered 10 people who already have reservations etc who just ask me to give it to them" to make one.

Hyatt Nights and Suite Upgrades

Hyatt Nights:

There are two different types of hyatt nights. Sign up nights and anniversary nights. The sign up nights are from when you sign up for the hyatt credit card. The anniversary night are given to you if you keep the credit card after the first year. You get one anniversary night every year. The sign up nights can be used for any hyatt hotel in the world. The anniversary nights can only be used in hyatt hotels categories 1-4 (Notable category 4 hyatt hotels: Hyatt regency mission bay, San Diego Ca. Andaz peninsula papagayo, Costa Rico.). Obviously the sign up nights are more valuable as they can be used in any hotel worldwide. The way somebody would book this night for you is they would put you as a second guest on the reservation. It is not recommended to combine nights between 3 different accounts or more. Or 2 accounts that none is yours. Obviously any reservation from a diamond account is more valuable since you will get the benefits as a second guest.

Suite upgrades:

When you do the hyatt diamond challenge you get 4 suite upgrades. (For that matter a diamond member will get 4 suite upgrades every year). In order to complete the diamond challenge you must stay 12 nights in 60 days. There are people who will book you a room under there account and then use there diamond suite upgrade for your reservation. The reason why somebody would do this is simple. They want to complete the diamond challenge, therefore they will give you a diamond suite upgrade to get nights under there account and complete the challenge.  Diamond suite upgrades can NOT be transferred to another account.
Diamond suite upgrades can only be used for a cash or cash and points reservation. They cannot be combined with any free nights or full point nights. Diamond suite upgrades are subject to availability of the suite being available. You can transfer hyatt points between accounts, though you must fill out the form on there website. People have reported it taking under 24 hours for the points to be transferred.
