Hyatt deval Q:
If I use an anniversary cert to book a hotel that's now a cat 4 but will soon be a cat 5 and then later on I want to change the dates, will they let me still use the anniversary cert (i.e. did I lock in my ability to use the cert) or will they no longer accept it?
-
If a hotel has a 3 night minimum can i use certs from 2 accounts for the reservation?
Agent said can't use them and I'm wondering if reason was cause was only 2 and not 3...

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. I've stayed under people's accounts that were not diamond and I recieved the benefits. Don't see why Priceline should be different.

Update: I just tried changing the date of my anniversary night at Baha Mar which was a cat 4 that today became a cat 5 and the rep was unable to. Computer didn't let her and neither did a manager. Was just trying it out for fun, looks like it can't officially be done.

After doing some research I think this is incorrect. If a diamond is staying in the room regardless of how the rooms was paid for...Diamond benefits get extended to occupants of that room.
-

The keywords are the diamond is "staying in the room". The hotel does not have to extend diamond benefits if the diamond member doesn't show up

I have had experience both ways. In China they wouldn't give my brother the diamond amenity until o showed up. In a lot of hotels in the US I have successfully booked people reservations and they got the benefits and amenitys.

I have a Hyatt award reservation under my name and my wife has Platinum status. I tried to book new reservation under her name and cancel mine but the rooms we need are no longer available. Any advice as what I can do to benefit from her status under my reservation? Will adding her name onto my reservation help? Thanks.

Nope

Nope
I know it can help by adding a diamond, so I don't see why doing it with a platinum would be any different.

Does Chase UR transfer to Hyatt instantly?
Anyone have any thoughts or comments on the Hyatt's in the city? looking at W or Westin... Is the wonderful room any good? And Can I call up and book a better room with points (like SPG allows) or is it only the lowest tier?
I have tons of UR so i'd rather save SPG points.

I think if you would've gone through this question by question you would've gotten some answers by now. That being said, let me try and answer what I can:
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.

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?

I haven't seen anywhere that they charge extra for additional guests.
Maybe it is something to do with the all-inclusive aspect.

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?
I stayed at 2 different Hyatt Hotels in UAE and while at first hotel the Cash+Points rate already included taxes and i didn't have to pay anything extra. The second hotel charged me 30% extra for taxes and fees for cash part of my bill.
Also, is it normal to be charged $20 for 10 min of local phone calls? I was under the impression that local calls should be free. :(

You have to pay taxes on top of the the rate. Pone calls can cost $20.

How strict would Hyatt be in regard to exceeding room occupancy limit by 1 or 2? Is it something I should confirm before I get there, or is that going to raise a red flag?

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.
Sounds like I shouldn't trust this guy. (No, I haven't paid the cash yet.)

I just called Hyatt and they confirmed that there are 2 separate reservations systems. The general one, and then each hotel's individual system. Rep said that if a hotel makes a change in their private system, it won't be reflected in the main system. So I guess it does make sense.

Beginning March 1, members can extend their Diamond in-hotel benefits such as Regency Club or Grand Club access, free breakfast and late check out to family or friends when they transfer a free night stay using Hyatt Gold Passport points. By extending Diamond privileges to a members’ friends or family on an award stay, Hyatt is providing the warmest possible welcome and an extraordinary on-property experience.

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

If 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.

My question is, is that considered an extension. Meaning, does the free night cert. have to be used for a stay before exp. or just to make a reservation before exp. ?

Simple as it sounds, they must offer you a room. IME from trying to do this its always really expensive. Also every hotel has 5 days a year were they don't have do guarantee to diamond members. At least that's what some hotel told me.

Hi,
I'm looking at staying at the new Park Hyatt in Zanzibar. Their standard rooms are still going for $355 because of their promo rate but the regular price would be $450. It is a category 5 and is 20000 points per night.
Is it a good use of points to use 40000 for 2 nights stay? I'm a newbie when it comes to hotels and points. How would I go about trying to get upgraded to a suite ($1300 night)? Online shows available for booking for cash but not for miles.
TIA

Do they really require a three night stay to upgrade to suite, as per their site? I'll be staying for two nights only. I am able to book the standard room for 20k points per night or P&C. 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. This is for my honeymoon and it is a shabbos so a suite would be swell!

Hi All,
So we're on the road and on the way to Baltimore. Looking to book 2 rooms for this weekend at the Hyatt Regency in Baltimore from tomorrow until Sunday. 15k points per room, or 229? 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?
Thanks,
JD

You are not going to be earning much with the 2x when paying. It really depends if you have better redemption options for those points and/or you are going for status and want the nights.

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?

you have to convince the hotel directly not hyatt gold passport

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.

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.

Can DSU's that expire in February 2016 be used before February 2016 to book a room for after February 2016?

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.

Nice find!

Why not go here (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hyatt-gold-passport/1095802-diamond-amenity-points-award-stay.html) and ask Gold Passport Concierge. (I can see that you have been in that thread already :P )

Posts the same time as a regular stay. usually within a week

Any way to get a not expensive upgrade at PH nyc next week? I'm not diamond and I used sign up nights. When I called they said it be like $400 a night plus points.
Someone suggested adding a diamond member as a second guest and Upgrade at checkin or perhaps the diamond would call ahead and try to get an upgrade confirmed.
Would this work?

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.

It's already booked, and I used Hyatt cc sign up bonus so I couldn't have a diamond book it, AFAIK
I was advised that at a high class five star like this, a twenty or fifty at check in would not help. After reading heads I'm beds I though it would but DDFers advised not at PH

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.

Someone can do a favor, but those won't count towards nights for your next diamond year.

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.

Not sure which is the proper thread for this question, but I'll try here:
I'd like to stay at the Grand Hyatt in Kauai for 4 nights, but in a suite, as I have 2 children. 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?
TIA, I hope I was not too confusing! :)

that should work but there are no guarantees. they might make you leave after you c & P nights but I guess in your situation it doesnt hurt to try

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...

Weird thing happen to me last night. I was biking a reservation for PH NYC, and there were 3 options for payment, 30k points, c+p, and then free night promotional award.

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.

But in my case, the certs aren't in the middle of being transferred. 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.

While there are no blackout dates, hotels have plenty of shticky things to do to keep rooms from being bookable with points. Not sure if they released it it would go into points inventory. If you're Diamond, try getting them to hold it. When I've done it, they never gave me a deadline for how long the hold will last.

If you're Diamond, try getting them to hold it. When I've done it, they never gave me a deadline for how long the hold will last.
Ah so then I'm gonna try to get them to hold it. From your last post it seemed like it was a short hold until points post. Thanks.

I think they need to be used before the exp date, however if you book now then they will sometimes extend 30 days past the expiration date
-

Damn. I knew it was a case of DROPR but wanted confirmation before I continued to HUCA. Each rep that I got told me the same thing. So all they had to do was try to apply the cert to the reservation?

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.

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.

Call them and tell the rep you need the points transferred as soon as possible because you need them to make a reservation. IME, the rep will tell you to email the form to his/her personal email address and they'll process it on the spot.

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.

Just noticed something even weirder. I earned points on the hold that was put on my cc when I checked in even though it eventually dropped. Between 5ppd on the authorization (~$1,200), the additional 30% for being Diamond and the 1,000 for turning down the welcome amenity (wasn't Kosher), I earned close to 10,000 for the stay. And that's not including the 5,000 that I earned for the eligible nights towards the current promo or the 3ppd that I got for actual charges that I put on my Hyatt cc. ;D ;D ;D ;D

So I guess posting it in three threads that aren't amex transfer partners was the best way to do it. Interesting that you missed Hilton.
Hilton, Choice, and SPG are the three MR hotel transfer partners. None of these three are particularly great value (maybe some choice redemptions) AFAIK.

Chase transfers to hyatt, which can be good value (and would actually belong in this thread).

Will Hyatt allow me to have overlapping reservations on my account? Meaning, have one reservation in one location from 8/20-8/27, and another reservation from 8/25-9/2? Will they care about the two day overlap? What if I say that I'm staying there with a second guest and the second guest is just staying longer than me?

I recently booked a hotel for my parents using my Hyatt points (I'm Diamond) and they somehow added my Dad's HGP# to the reservation and he earned points for it. It was a strictly points booking not C+P. It shows an eligible spend of $615.70 which I'm guessing is the actual room rate for the 4 nights.
Anyone else ever have something like that?

Anybody know what my rights are for this situation: Bought Presidential Suite for Park Hyatt Hyderabad last week for $137++/night when it glitched from it's normal $1700++/night for future travel. It's a CAT2 so 8k/night for standard king. Just got an email yesterday I believe from PHH and they said blah blah blah mistake blah sorry, and we will give you park standard with view room in lieu of this error. what? I'd rather use the points in this case. What are my options as my cc has already charged. I think that most companies have to accept it by law. I did it last year with the Presidential Suite at Grand Hyatt Santiago for $37 total for 6 nights with the Amex Fine Hotels glitch. How is this any different? Thoughts?

Best of luck in the Indian courts.
You win some, you lose some. If this was a U.S. hotel, they might honor the mistake or give you a big discount to avoid a lawsuit and/or social media backlash. Never know, but a hotel in India is unlikely to do the same.

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.

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.

i don't know what you said to them or how you checked in. But what you have to do is say yes the account holder is on his way his flight got delayed. 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.

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? We have a way of how we do things here. As far as I'm concerned no one is breaking any laws. If you can't handle it please go read another forum. /end rant
Concession accepted.
I'm all for getting deals. I'm not for scamming companies in ways that inevitably result in devaluations for people who play by the rules.

could be a better value depending on the category. Also if you need stay credit you will only get it with c and p and not all points. Finally until the end of the month you cannot use a DSU on all points bookings only on cash and c and p.

Don't have status by Hyatt so wouldn't do it for that reason
booking would be for 3/1 so DSU wouldn't be a problem either (if I even get one)

Just got hit with the AF for the hyatt card.

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.

I just set up a first time new Hyatt account and tried adding it to my Chase portal so I can transfer points for tonight. Chase won’t add it online, tells me to call. Am I doing something wrong?

Was reviewing my Hyatt accounts and noticed cat 1-4 nights with award codes CHRM2 in my and DW's accounts both credited on 8/5/18.
These are in addition to anniversary night and brand explorer awards (CAT14RM365).
As background, we are each Chase CC holders (old version).
Any idea what award code CHRM2 means?
did you find out? I have same thing

did you find out? I have same thing
Never figured it out. Lucky's free night for spending $15k on the WOH CC showed up with that code, but I have the cheaper version of the card.

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?
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.

If a hotel has standard points rooms available, does that mean they have Chase Cat 1-4 free nights as well?
My free night is tied up on another booking right now, which I might cancel should a different property have availability, but I am concerned that cancelling my booked night might not put it back into inventory.

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

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.)
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?

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...

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

Anyone know how Globalist breakfast works at PHNYC these days? Want to order for tomorrow but they made the process complicated as it seems the process has changed and no one is clear on what it is. Used to be you selected from the menu and they ordered you breakfast but now they keep saying different things. Here are some of the responses I received:
- Was told by one rep they no longer have affiliation with My Most Favorite Food, and all orders must be for Milk N Honey directly instead of through hotel and hotel will pick up and pay
- 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
Has anyone stayed in the past month and can share the current process?

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.

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.”

Is it an issue if I book for 2 different people and their reservation are overlapping? Meaning it look is like a book 2 hotel in two different places at the same time? Is that an issue??

Hyatt messed up communication, I thought I needed 500 points when I actually need 5 nights after 3 booked.
So I'm on track for 55 nights.
I could get chase to close the card the 28th? That's 57 and some mattress runs.
My real question is should I actually bother obviously I want to free one to seven category night and the suite upgrades and the concierge.
Mostly I was hoping that aa with give globalist platinum like lady year.

Is there a way to upgrade cat 1-4 certs to a suite?
Suite shows availability for 24k points. Can you use a cert and add points? Can a local manager override?

One stay of 5 nights would be 10 nights towards tier status if completed before feb 28th. Overlapping nights on 2 rooms only gives credit for 1 room
