Yesterday I wrote about how the Hyatt Diamond Challenge had been discontinued.
There's no denying that Hyatt had the most generous hotel status challenge out there:
-- Hyatt gave you Diamond status upfront
-- Hyatt gave you 1,000 bonus points per night for the first six nights you stayed
-- Hyatt gave you four confirmed suite upgrades, each of which could be used to confirm a suite upgrade in advance for up to a week each — those were valid until February of the following year, even if you didn’t complete the Diamond Challenge
Anyway, the fact that the challenge expired wasn't unusual in and of itself. The Diamond Challenge does always have an expiration date, and in this case it was October 31, 2014. However, in the past they've typically extended the Diamond Challenge promotion shortly after it expired.

Oh yeah, and this video is also a perfect reminder of why it doesn't suck to be single (as if there needed to be more reasons)!

Last summer United started rolling out Mercedes tarmac transfers… something Delta started doing with Porsche in November 2011. United has a broader Miles for Mercedes tie-in as well. Of course this all follows on Lufthansa’s innovation, not just at their First Class Terminal in Frankfurt (since first class passengers wait in a different terminal from […]
