I think I somehow missed this last month when it first came out, but Hyatt is offering instant platinum status for new enrollees who join by March 31. The status lasts 90 days, and if you complete one stay during that time the status will be extended through February, 2009.
And for those seeking Diamond status, remember that all stays count double through the end of March (if you register).
