I made a call to Hyatt this morning, and unfortunately, the worst fear was confirmed. The Hyatt Diamond Challenge is dead as of October 31. Kyle, from the Trip Sherpa, originally reported this fact, but I wanted to find out for myself whether this was really the case.
Luckily, I just completed the Hyatt Diamond Challenge a few weeks ago, so I’m really glad I got in on it while I could.
As a reminder, the Hyatt Diamond status required 12 nights at any property, also awarded 4 confirmed suite upgrades, and awarded 1,000 points for your first 6 nights (each) at their properties. I was a really lucrative promotion, and is one of the most valuable statuses in the industry.
It will be sad to see this promotion go away, but congratulations to those who got in on it before it went away!
If you’re interested, you can earn free Hyatt Platinum status at this December’s Frequent Traveler University.
