We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Update:   One or more card offers in this post are no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers. 

    The original version of the Hyatt Diamond Challenge was discontinued in November 2014.  It was replaced with a new version that was only open to folks selected by Hyatt.

    But now according to The Trip Sherpa, the Hyatt Diamond Challenge is open to everyone!

    With Hyatt Diamond Status You Get Lots of Extra Perks Like Free Breakfast and Evening Appetizers at Hotels Like the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok!

    I’ll explain the benefits of Hyatt Diamond status and how the challenge works!

    What’s Hyatt Diamond Status?

    With Hyatt Diamond status you get:

    We Had Free Breakfast at the Hyatt Paris Vendome, Thanks to Hyatt Diamond Status

    And we used 1 of our suite upgrades for a spacious room at the Grand Hyatt Kauai.

    This Room at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Usually Costs ~$1,468 per Night

    Plus, when you book a Hyatt award night for friends and family, they get to enjoy your Diamond status perks.

    How Do You Complete the Hyatt Diamond Challenge?

    To enroll in the Hyatt Diamond Challenge, call Hyatt at 800-228-3360.

    You’ll then have 60 days to stay 12 nights at Hyatt hotels to earn Hyatt Diamond status through February 2017.  That’s much better than the 25 stays or 50 nights you’d need if you didn’t take the Challenge.

    Points + Cash stays count towards Diamond status and it’s easy to earn lots of Hyatt points.  So you can save money on your 12 nights.

    With the old Hyatt Diamond Challenge you received Diamond status while you were working towards your 12 nights.  But now you only get Hyatt Platinum status:

    You Can Still Sleep in With Hyatt Platinum Status

    And if you only complete 6 nights of the challenge you get to keep the Platinum status.  You’ll also earn 1,000 Hyatt bonus points for your 1st 6 nights.

    Note:   You get Platinum status for free if you have the Chase Hyatt card.  So cardholders should only do the challenge if they know they’ll stay 12 Hyatt nights in 60 days to earn Diamond status.

    Bottom Line

    The new Hyatt Diamond Status Challenge is now open to everyone.  To sign-up call Hyatt at 800-228-3360.

    Once you complete 12 nights at Hyatt hotels (paid or Points + Cash), you’ll earn Diamond Status through February 2017!

    Hyatt Diamond status is 1 of the best hotel perks available!  I love having free full breakfasts and 4 suite upgrades each year.  So if you stay at Hyatt hotels frequently, this is a terrific deal!
