Hyatt Nights and Suite Upgrades

Hyatt Nights:

There are two different types of hyatt nights. Sign up nights and anniversary nights. The sign up nights are from when you sign up for the hyatt credit card. The anniversary night are given to you if you keep the credit card after the first year. You get one anniversary night every year. The sign up nights can be used for any hyatt hotel in the world. The anniversary nights can only be used in hyatt hotels categories 1-4 (Notable category 4 hyatt hotels: Hyatt regency mission bay, San Diego Ca. Andaz peninsula papagayo, Costa Rico.). Obviously the sign up nights are more valuable as they can be used in any hotel worldwide. The way somebody would book this night for you is they would put you as a second guest on the reservation. It is not recommended to combine nights between 3 different accounts or more. Or 2 accounts that none is yours. Obviously any reservation from a diamond account is more valuable since you will get the benefits as a second guest.

Suite upgrades:

When you do the hyatt diamond challenge you get 4 suite upgrades. (For that matter a diamond member will get 4 suite upgrades every year). In order to complete the diamond challenge you must stay 12 nights in 60 days. There are people who will book you a room under there account and then use there diamond suite upgrade for your reservation. The reason why somebody would do this is simple. They want to complete the diamond challenge, therefore they will give you a diamond suite upgrade to get nights under there account and complete the challenge.  Diamond suite upgrades can NOT be transferred to another account.
Diamond suite upgrades can only be used for a cash or cash and points reservation. They cannot be combined with any free nights or full point nights. Diamond suite upgrades are subject to availability of the suite being available. You can transfer hyatt points between accounts, though you must fill out the form on there website. People have reported it taking under 24 hours for the points to be transferred.

Can Hyatt free nights be used at Hyatt Vacation Club locations?

From the website:
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts do not include Hyatt Residence Club which is a vacation ownership organization having owners of fractional interests in Hyatt Residence Club resorts as members. Award inventory availability at Hyatt Residence Club resorts is limited and varies by resort location, season, and unit, and is typically offered on a relatively short-term basis (usually 60 - 90 days prior to arrival).

So is that a yes or no?

I know you can use points. How about free nights ?

Sorry - that was a quote from the free nights terms. So it would seem the answer is no.

Any DSU for one night?

Any DSU for one night?

Are you willing to pay?

[EMCC]

1: - random fact- Although you can only book one room with points per reservation, you can do one with points and one with C+P.
2: I have an upcoming stay booked with points. Is there someone here that is willing to add their Hyatt diamond account to the reservation? (No qualified nights or points, just a favor)
