Booked an award for someone who purchased here and he was a "no show," so Hyatt charged my credit card instead of debiting the award.  Other than recourse from the purchaser, is there anything else I can do to have Hyatt debit the award instead of charging me $700?

Why did you put your credit card on the reservation

Why did you put your credit card on the reservation

Great question.  I assumed the buyer would need to show a credit card at check in, and all charges would go there.  Unfortunately, because they're saying I was a "no show," that part never manifested.

Turns out the buyer did show up, and they have him as an authorized guest on my reservation and as having checked in, but they're saying because the second reservation (i.e. my account) didn't show up, they have to charge the card. 

Any other ideas?

Don't hotels always ask for a credit card upon making a reservation? Can a gift card credit card be used instead?

i have sold 2 award nights and i had the purchaser use their card on the reservation

[Agoldsc1]

i have sold 2 award nights and i had the purchaser use their card on the reservation

So they give you their credit card number? Or do you have them call to make the reservation?

they give me CC number
trusting, but they could always dispute if i used it for any random charges
i wouldnt do it otherwise, bc if something goes wrong, im on the hook for a big bill

Why are there so many sign-up nights in this forum but so few anniversary nights?

[Marco Polo]

Churning.

[Agoldsc1]

Churning.

But then wouldn't it make sense to pay the annual fee to keep the card, and then sell the anniversary nights? I imagine that the cardholders would still turn a profit, and as a bonus, they would increase their credit score.
