I know someone looking to get rid of his but they may expire by then.I'll let you know

thanks a lot.

If I use UR points out of a Hyatt acct with 60 days Diamond challenge, what kind of room will I get? Perhaps I can use only 2 rooms per night.

You'd originally be booked into a standard room, but you'd almost assuredly be upgraded to a park deluxe. Additionally, depending on availability, you may be upgraded to a park suite as a Diamond.

What makes you think you can only use 2 rooms per night?

What kind of suite comes for 33k ur pts? might be an option

Park Suite, IME.

Park Suite, IME.

we are 5 kids and two parents, we can do with 2 suites. although the park suite doesn't look seem so big

[PlatinumGuy]

Anyone know if the certs require the basic room to be available? looks like only the park deluxe is available.

It's not terribly large by US standards, but in Paris its relatively pretty big.

In any case, your most likely going to have kids sleeping on coach/floor with 2 rooms.

I'm more worried about space than beds.

You'll definitely have enough space for 2 adults and 5 kids in 2 park suites.

All relative. 1 suite and 2 rooms out of vouchers is both cheaper and better. I also hope to get upgraded as a Hyatt Diamond (via challenge). What would be awesome is if these stays (certs) count towards status.

Except for diamond certs, they do need basic room availability.

Yes, need for space is all relative. Some people can't go to the PHP without getting the Imperial Suite but I figured if your trying to make it work, it may be easier to score two suites.

They don't count, AFAIK.

Assuming basic=park twin, only 1 night has rooms available, so my requirments are amended to 9 suites and 3 reg. stays. Also, besides calling is there any way to see if a 3rd room is available on the 17th? I can only search for 2 rooms.

You are doing this from the wrong angle.  Promo award nights are not officially transferable, and while you can get away with using one person's promo award nights, you may be sleeping on the street if you think you'll be able to use promo award nights from several accounts.
Finding UR or HGP points is your only option and those will cost you a whole lot more than $330.

If he's doing multiple rooms on the same night, then I would think it should work as long as he isn't using awards from more than 2 accounts for 1 stay
