Am I entitled to diamond benefits if i'm a diamond member but stay on a priceline reservation or a reservation made by a non-diamond member? like club access etc.It depends on rep at hotel.

1. UR>Hyatt transfers instantly
2. I've heard good things about the Andaz 5'th (and Park Hyatt if you wanna splurge)
3. Not sure about booking a better room with points, but if you're willing to do C+P you can probably find a diamond member that would be willing to use a DSU so you'd get a suite.

So I said ok and they transferred me to someone else to make the actual reservation, that lady told me it's 25,000 a night and she didn't mention anything about the 12,000 for an additional person, so she only deducted 75,000 points from my account and I checked the reservation and it says it's for 2 adults!

Is Hyatt Cash + Points a Net Rate that already includes the taxes or is it tax exclusive and you will have to pay extra for local taxes and fees?You have to pay taxes on top of the the rate. Pone calls can cost $20.

I booked a room with a free night and then emailed someone in the "Executive Office Administration" at the specific hotel about paying for a room upgrade. We agreed to a cash price to upgrade to a suite, but he told me that he modified my reservation in the hotel's internal system and that it won't show up online or by calling HGP and nor can he email me an updated confirmation. Even when I called the front desk at the hotel, they think I'm in a standard room.I'm assuming the cash would be paid on arrival? What could go wrong.

Yes, but many hotels do not know this.
So if a hotel didnt give it to me and they are saying I dont get it should I call corporate?

So if a hotel didnt give it to me and they are saying I dont get it should I call corporate?Just call the diamond line and push 2 for customer service.
You get 50% more if they don't post it. So if it was a full service hyatt and you requested the points you will get 1500 instead of 1000. 750 instead of 500 at a HP

Can I book a room with my Hyatt free night - from opening card - for somebody else, and add them to reservation, abs they can check in w/o me being there ? It's for the park Hyatt nyc, if that makes a diff.
generally it works but there is always a small risk they would want the account holder to be there if they suspect something.

Want to book a Hyatt Anniversary night but when I called they said the hotel is nearly sold out and only has rooms that the Anniversary night cannot be used for. Is there anything I could do (i.e. call the hotel directly) to work around this? ThanksIf the hotel has a Standard room available for cash purchase, then you might be able to try what TPG did (google/search for the post) where he called Hyatt and read them their own T&C that says if a Standard room is available, then it can be booked with points. Obviously points and free nights are different, but perhaps that method might work.

Does it define "eligible"?
You must receive this offer from Hyatt and register by September 30, 2015. You will receive 3,000 Hyatt Gold Passport bonus points after your first Eligible Stay from June 1, 2015 through September 30, 2015. A maximum 3,000 bonus points may be earned, regardless of the number of nights completed during the offer period. For the purpose of this offer, an “Eligible Night” is defined as any night where a member is paying an Eligible Rate, as defined in the terms and conditions of Hyatt Gold Passport, except that stays at M life resorts do not count as Eligible Stays under this offer. Hyatt Gold Passport members will only receive Eligible Night credit for their room, regardless of the number of rooms paid. You must provide your Hyatt Gold Passport membership number at the time of check-in and choose points or miles for your stay. Hyatt Gold Passport will automatically track Eligible Nights when you provide your Hyatt Gold Passport membership number. Please allow two to three weeks after your stay for bonus points to be posted to your Hyatt Gold Passport account.

When I called Hyatt they said I cant upgrade to a suite. Looking for any tips on how this can be done. I don't have platinum status. I will be transferring points from UR to Hyatt.

It comes out to .015 (one and a half) cents per point. (I have hyatt points). Not a great deal? Is it better to pay with a sapphire and earn the double points.
Also, has anyone stayed here before? Any recommendations? Anyone know how to score an upgrade?

Can this be done to "hold" a room for a reservation with points as soon as its cancelled....
Post by: elya on July 13, 2015, 10:16:05 PM
Will cancelling a revenue reservation in a standard room in a Hyatt release the room right away?I believe free night/points is available whenever there is a standard room.

Hi. Trying to book points and cash but only see cash only and points only options on line. I called the Gold Passport desk and they told me that there is no points + cash availability for that night, only points only. Does it work really like this or is this a HUCA?
Cash & Points is only bookable via phone and each hotel is subject to their own set availability.

and the availability of c&p is different then straight points, although you can call sometimes and get them to release availability.

Wow so im a noob, but I just ran into this problem today and I figured it was an old discussion on this thread or others, but maybe being that it was only brought up yesterday is indicative of it being a new problem (???)
I saw tons of rooms available on their website for points and was flabbergasted when the woman told me they didnt have the room I wanted available for cash and points. I assumed she was making it up, and was gonna huca but decided to check the forum first and there you have it... (I also asked her if I could book one night on strictly points and then the rest of the nights on C+P, and she said yea but i may be asked to switch my room - not quite sure what to make of that..)
Anyways so the moral of the story is that people here have experience that it is difficult to convince them to release a room to me on Cash and Points?

That's funny. I was on the phone with the hotel, and they were the ones giving me problems. I figured I would try gold passport and see if I could do any better. Can't hurt to try I guess, but its looking like I will just have to keep trying to convince the hotel.
some hotel reps have no clue when you ask them, and some know how to deal with the request. got to get someone that knows and make the story nice and convincing. i had the other night booked already so I was trying to add an additional night to my reservation.

Looking for either beach-island, ( without the humidity )or scenic mountains.Another good tip is to google/use Hyatt's website to see where the Cat 1-4s are. If you're limiting yourself to 4-5 hours, then you're basically saying North/Central America, which should knock out many of the 1-4s to begin with. Find some that are in locations that interest you and then ask/research to see if the properties are actually nice/near activities in those cities.

When you check in tell the hotel you have a few reservations and they will usually just let you stay in the same room the whole time.

If by "gc" he meant gift card, you're right, as those cannot be used in HKG.
I assumed if he's asking that "gc" referred to gift check, which can be used abroad, but will be converted at hotel exchange rate.

Can DSU's that expire in February 2016 be used before February 2016 to book a room for after February 2016?
Quote from: Lucky
I figured I’d post a quick reminder that 2014 Hyatt Diamond Suite Upgrade Awards expire at the end of February, which is next Saturday. The important thing to note is that you only have to make bookings using them by the expiration date, though the stay can be on a subsequent date. I still have one to redeem, so will have to figure out what to do with it.
Hyatt-DSU
If you have any left over, be sure to redeem them by next Saturday or they’ll disappear. Keep in mind that if you change your dates later, the Upgrade Awards technically can’t be transferred with the new reservation, so whatever you book with them has to be “set in stone” or you’ll risk losing them.

Sounds like any hotel work around. Have a diamond book it, call in, upgrade and make sure to mention that guest XYZ will arrive way before hand and needs to be able to check in without issues. I have done this several times albeit not with Hyatt.

When I upgraded with IHG it was also my reservation ( I had booked) and I added someone with high status to the reservation and had that person call in for the upgrade. It wasn't the norm but the hotel accepted it and upgraded the room. I would think that it is certainly worth a try.

I just booked 3 nights in the Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall Jamaica,
they told me on the phone that it's 25,000 a night plus 12,000 for an additional person,
So I said ok and they transferred me to someone else to make the actual reservation, that lady told me it's 25,000 a night and she didn't mention anything about the 12,000 for an additional person, so she only deducted 75,000 points from my account and I checked the reservation and it says it's for 2 adults!
Is there a chance that they might use additional points from my account once they realize it? or i'm good to go?
The 12K is for more than 2 guests.
Does anyone know if the extra charge is for kids also or just for extra adults?

Two free nights from signup bonus can be used at any Hyatt worldwide (minus the Residences), so yes you can use it at the Ziva/Zilara. DSUs can only be used on paid/C+P bookings, so you can't use it on the free nights.

You can check this in your Hyatt account under awards. They expire at the end of February 2016. You will then receive new ones through your 2017 match.

I have 2 signup nights, 15k Hyatt points and many UR points, but I dont have Diamond status, only Plat. What would be the most cost efficient way to book? And, is it possible to transfer URs to a Diamond Member who has a DSU, book my first night with C&P and DSU through his account, and book the subsequent nights using my nights and C&P and stay in the suite?

You can use extra Hyatt points to upgrade.I checked the daily rate for the first day, which is the only way to upgrade with points, and it's $500 before tax. It would be much cheaper to pay 12.5k UR and $150...

When using Diamond suite upgrades, is there such a thing as a distinction between availability for a DSU for a paid reservation and a C&P reservation? Hyatt is saying that hotel only has DSU available for paid stays but not C&P.Then apparently the answer is yes.

Because there are no blackout dates for awards/free nights, do people here ever just make revenue reservations to hold the room so they don't get sold out until they have the points/certs in their account? Any reason that I shouldn't do this? Rep on the phone guaranteed me that I won't have any issues converting it from revenue to points at a later date.If you have Diamond, they will hold the room for you as a points booking if you tell them the points are in the midst of being transferred. If you're not Diamond, you could try that. Not sure if they can actually convert it to a points booking, but also make sure you're holding the correct room type (standard) and watch out for cancellation policies.

They're still about a month or two away. Ya, I would hold a standard room. I guess technically they would release it and immediately pick it back up as a points reservation and because there are no blackout dates, it would be available in inventory for points booking. Only downside is that they sometimes require a deposit, but as long as you don't mind temporarily paying it, don't see the downside.

whats considered better a hyatt ziva or zilara?Main difference is that Zilara is adults only. Should focus more on the destination you're interested in going to.

not asking whether its possible or not: I've had many conflicting reports from both chase and hyatt, as to who would be the one to be able to extend sign up nights. bottom line, who would be the one to call? chase or hyatt?
HYATT did for me - even converted to points after i had to cncl reservation on extnd certif-- think hyatt rep may have had to check with Chase

the hotel was the Pier 66 in FLL
The website shows that a marina king and marina double are considered standard: http://pier66.hyatt.com/en/hotel/rooms/standard.html
Both the hotel and Diamond line said that the hotel considers only the limited view marina king/doubles to be standard with regard to points reservations ::)

Just wondering how people get around the second name when you use someone else's nights. How can both guests check-in? I know some resorts require the bracelet to show you are the guest. I am heading to Jamaica and have someone coming with me and want to make sure it is not an issue. Unlike Park Hyatt's etc where there is only a room.... they charge for day-passes etc to facility.

As long as there's award space available, you can use a sign up night certificate.According to several Hyatt GP reps that I spoke to, that's not true. They claim that a hotel can decide to limit the amount of rooms available for booking under sign up nights, while a regular points booking can't be blocked out as long as a base room is available at revenue. Not sure if it's a case of DROPRs or if there's merit to what I was told on several different occasions.

I had sent an email to Walter Brindel but he is back in Chicago (I know I should've read this thread more carefully). Moira was able to help us get an upgrade to a deluxe room (basically a junior suite) for my wife's birthday and they comped wine and chocolate as well. Icing on the cake was free parking courtesy of parkwhiz.com ;D.

How does Hyatt's "guaranteed availability" for Diamonds work? Looking at a hotel that's sold out for a random night. How do they guarantee me the ability to book it?
They still will have a rate for it and can offer it to you at that rate. They will hope someone cancels or doesn't show up, but if that doesn't happen, they can move someone to another hotel if they are completely booked.

I just called the Diamond line about a hotel that I saw sold out online. They said if the "Diamond guaranteed available rate" was available, I would be able to see it online. If it says "sold out" that means that hotel doesn't offer the guaranteed rate.

Interesting. I just called the Diamond line about a hotel that I saw sold out online. They said if the "Diamond guaranteed available rate" was available, I would be able to see it online. If it says "sold out" that means that hotel doesn't offer the guaranteed rate.
Sounds like such BS. Do you have experience doing what you said can be done?
Not w Hyatt but w competitor. And they offered me a rate but not low enough for me

I received a targeted reward certificate for having the Hyatt Card good for $30 towards food/beverage (non alcoholic) at any hyatt house or hyatt place through July. Is the certificate only valid for paid stays or will a points stay work as well?Should work on any unless stated otherwise.

A good portion of the alcoholic mixed drinks were fine. And of course all the of the straight alcohol as well.

I figured the same, but I was hoping that since I bought from the US that we would have some kind of consumer protection. My thoughts are to write up a nice response that states that I want to create a long lasting relationship with Hyatt, explain the reason for travel (anniversary), and how I will not be recommending Hyatt to friends and family should they not honor the rate. Doesn't hurt to still try. If they deny the request, I should still have the option to cancel as I am not getting what I purchased.

How long is the stay? At a discount of over $1,550 per night, they're probably not going to care much that you aren't going to recommend Hyatt to some friends. (And if you did the same thing last year, the odds are good that your account has been noted thusly.)

Just to clear things up, Amex had the glitch for the last deal in Chile, not Hyatt. Hyatt was definitely compensated by them. I was using this as an example of booking in the US for travel abroad and it being honored. So, this would technically be the first situation with Hyatt directly.

Okay. The "glitch fare" people are essentially the churners of the airline/hotel world, so I wouldn't be surprised if airlines and hotels are trying to track them somehow.

Not to scare everyone as I'm sure this account was the exception to the rule.
When I tried checking in they said that I can't check in without the AH and they will charge me rack rate. They said there's a note in the account to make sure he checks in. Otherwise the hotel won't get reimbursed from gold passport.
I begged/ negotiated to no avail. After an hr we made up that they will give me a reduced rack rate and if I have the points in MY account by the time I checked OUT then, they can use points, otherwise it'll be the rack rate.
After I checked in on those terms and the account holder called the hotel on my behalf they called me to say they will make a one time exception and honor this reservation.
Again I spoke to many people that didn't have this issue but YMMV.

I'm surprised hotels ever do this, since it's such an obvious scam opportunity. With the way hotels and airlines have cracked down on--and otherwise devalued--their programs, one would think hotels would have a strict "no person with status, no status benefits" rule.

There is nothing wrong with someone on the reservation checking in. Again I don't have experience with SUNs but I don't see why the hotel should treat it different than points bookings.

if i had to guess it is probably because the AH was asking questions of a hyatt rep during the booking process how to book for a friend and they put the note in the account.

It's plainly a scam (and this plainly wasn't a Guest of Honor situation). Let's be serious here.i wasn't referring to his situation I was responding to you saying that people use it to gain status when they don't have status. Look at what I quoted.
P.S. yes technically what he did was a "scam" as you call it. But it's within the rules. The rules say that you can add an additional guest and that he could check in.
That is what this forum is about. It's about finding ways to travel better for a better price. If you keep having an issue with everything everybody here does that is not 100% straight then why are you even on this forum to begin with? Just to berate all the members?

It's not an "additional guest" if there's only one guest — i.e., if the person with status has no intention of showing up. Again, let's be serious here.

Any recent data points on getting Hyatt to extend expiring sign up nights? Do they still typically grant 30 days?they do not. They give you 20k per for Globalist's and 10k per for everyone else.

http://frequentmiler.boardingarea.com/2018/03/02/hyatt-cracks-down-on-second-guest-approach-to-sharing-status/
This is obviously annoying, but I'm interested to see how it plays out considering...
1) It seems hard for them to prove the main guest never showed up (are they going to review security footage for each complaint?)
2) Ultimately removing the ability for a second guest to check in would be terrible customer service. I would imagine the vast majority of second guest check-ins are from people actually staying together.

For a stay I am looking at, it seems that I could use 15k Hyatt or about 13k Chase points. If it will cost me my chance at an upgrade/late checkout, then it might not be worth it to book through Chase (I might just pay cash in that case). Status is low tier (discoverist), so not earth-shattering either way.
Post by: mochjas on May 07, 2019, 05:46:36 PM
If I book a hotel (Hyatt) using 1.5c/point with Sapphire Reserve, will I still get status benefits, or does it need to be booked on Hyatt?officially you do not but at times you can add through the hotel and they will honor

If a hotel has standard points rooms available, does that mean they have Chase Cat 1-4 free nights as well?call them and have them do it on the phone and tell them not to cancel unless they rebook the new room first

most likely not
Agree and it is YMMV. From my experience, no. It did not count into primary guest's stay credit.

I could reserve 2 rooms for 60k, But would really like to get the 2 bdrm suite instead.
Is there any way to reserve the suite with points?
Post by: mochjas on July 11, 2019, 02:54:43 PM
We are 3 adults and need 2 rooms at PH paris.call Hyatt and you can reserve a premium suite for double the points per night. But it’s not guaranteed to be a 2 BR suite and most likely won’t be a 2 BR suite but call to check what it is

When I got to the hotel, they said this perk is only for Globalists and charged me the 35 dollars parking fee. A manager confirmed that parking is not included for Explorists. When checking out, I mentioned to the clerk that I was charged for parking even though it was award night, and she said she would fix it for me and she took it off.
Anyone know the official rules? The website seems to confirm that parking should not be free. Any other experiences?

I'm an Explorist. I stayed in a Hyatt regency on points and was told that since it was on points, parking is free. Before staying in the Bellevue in Philadelphia, I called to confirm that I would get free parking with an award night, and each rep i spoke to said yes. ( I had called multiple times about a different issue.)official rules are only globalists get free parking

If I book a room with C&P and later get more points, can I switch from C&P to full points? Or does it go back into the inventory and would need to show an available standard room to do so, which I understand is the case if I book with cash and want to change to points...it would need to be available

Is status benefits determined when you check-in or at time of booking? If I am globalist at time of booking but not when I check-in what do I receive?Status goes by when you check in. However if you have a GOH and the guy who gifted it to you lost status it will probably still be honored as the guest of honor code won’t be removed

- Was told by another rep, they have relationships with My Most Favorite Food, Great American Health Bar, and Milk N Honey and we can get $45 per person reimbursed as we have to order for delivery and pay ourselves and show receipt at checkout
- Was told by another rep we can get an entree and drink pre person and hotel orders and picks up

My brother is Globalist, and he niece is going on a honeymoon. He'd like to book the room under his account so they get club lounge access and other perks associated.
He'd only do this on a rare occasion.
Can he add the his niece to the reservation, and they get the benefits?
I sometimes stay under my brother's Marriott Titanium account, and he adds me as a 2nd guest while chatting on the app during check-in without a problem, and benefits are extended to me.

Never heard of that, I'd be really interested to hear if there's such a concept
“Hyatt House Emeryville - Travelling with 11, needing space to eat, lots of fridge and freezer space, and not breaking the bank can be a challenge. Taking 4 standard rooms anywhere peak season is very expensive. Besides, that wouldn’t allow us a kitchen or living area for the family time to eat together and schmooze at the end of a long day. The suite rooms are usually double the price and we would need 2. That can easily be $550-600 a night. The VRBO’s and AirBNB’s usually have those steep fees that don’t make it worthwhile for a few night stay. Plus, there’s just something about the hotel that make it part of the fun experience. So, I have come to discover Hyatt House which many times has 2 queens in private room, Large L shaped couch with Queen pull out bed (and room for someone younger on remaining couch), full size fridge/freezer kitchen, as well as seating area. They also usually have free breakfast to stock up on fruits in the morning, cereals, as well as paper supplies. In order to be comfortable, we need 3 of those Hyatt House Suites that can also run $200 each a night. But many times, you can pick up at 8K points per night (x 3) and that’s what we did. In San Francisco, we stayed in a beautiful Hyatt-House-Emeryville right over the bridge and a 10-minute drive to minyanim. We spend 2 nights here and it was great.”
