Hyatt Gold Passport - Hyatt Gold Passport 90-day trial Platinum status - Visa Signature

Not sure if anyone has posted this, but Visa Signature posted on their Facebook page a trial Platinum status offer for Hyatt. "You must have a Visa Signature card and enter your card number on the page.

Registration Page (http://www.visasignature.hyatt.com/)


As part of Visa Signature's special travel offers, enjoy complimentary Hyatt Gold Passport Platinum status, which includes:

•Preferred rooms based on availability
•2:00 p.m. late check-out upon request
•15% point bonus
•Complimentary in-room Internet
•Expedited check-in

Verify your card and register by May 11th to receive trial Platinum status for 90 days from date of registration.

This is a little better than the 60 day offer with its regular status challenges, though you can try for the Diamond challenge if you have status with another program.

Not sure if during this trial, you can get the 2 free nights in a suite by applying for the Chase Hyatt card, since you'd be technically a Platinum. Anyone care to give it a shot?

I can't get it to work...I have a couple Visa signature numbers though...

Isn't a Diamond Challenge a one time thing?

So does the link work or not? I don't want to add my CC# for a scam.

I came across this offer but have been unable to get my card verified. Now I am worried about ...scammed.:( I found it while looking at Hyatt web page.

I posted on another thread re Hyatt offers current/expired.

It works now...but status does not post instantly...I'm waiting for my status to change

Works for me. In any event it's hosted on Hyatt's website, for better or for worse.

I couldn't get it to work in Chrome but when I switched to IE I too received the confirmation screen. :cool:

This is my question, too; it'll determine whether I get the trial Platinum now or wait a month or so to match it up with an application for the Hyatt card I'm planning anyway. Along the same lines (and maybe an indicator of the answer here), has anyone applied for the Hyatt card while in the middle of a platinum (or higher) status match, which would seem like a similarly-temporary status as far as the IT system would be concerned?

I don't think the IT system recognizes any kind of "temporary" status whatsoever, a Diamond is a Diamond.

That's great news. Further refinement of the question, though: If I get this temp platinum status, then get the credit card (and potentially get two free suite nights), will I need to use those up *before* the 90 days of temp platinum runs out, or will I have them banked to my account, and my "regular" platinum status will still let me book them several months from now (for a big trip I'm planning in 2013).

Plats don't get 2 free suite nights for getting the credit card - they get 2 free nights in a regular room and 2 suite upgrade certs (applicable only on paid stays - much like the Diamond Confirmed Suite Upgrades).

Yep, bombed in Chrome but worked fine in IE. Yay! ^

Can you get 90 day Platinum trial and also apply for 60 day Diamond trial?

Registered for promotion yesterday. Logged in today and saw my platinum status. hope to snag an upgrade in my next stay at GH, Shanghai :D

I cannot get it to work on FF or IE.

Just did it without difficulty!

I applied for the Chase Hyatt card during a Diamond challenge, and received the two nights in a suite since I was a Diamond at time of application. I don't think the IT system recognizes any kind of "temporary" status whatsoever, a Diamond is a Diamond.

Very nice. I applied on a Saturday, got the Diamond match on the following Tuesday, received the card a week from then, and only got the nights, not the suites. They are "up" on the status "at the time of the application."

Thanks for this, I was tempted to stay at a Hyatt for a trip this month and this will come in very handy! ^

Entered my cc, got to the Hyatt registration page, entered GP number, clicked enter, then the message on screen says "sorry we're having difficulty finding that page".

If you do the platinum challenge.. does that take away your ability to do the Diamond challenge in the future.. or only one per guest per lifetime?.

So how long is it taking to upgrade status after you register? I'm staying at the Vendome on the 18th, but am at the HR Columbus on July 5 and want that night to count toward my 8 nights for Plat. Only a 90 day window, so I want to time it just right. What day do you think I should register to get both?

Mine is showing me as a Platinum member until the end of July. It's been a long day, but my math is suggesting that's more than 90 days.

Mine went through the next day but my husband's (which I did later) has not yet gone through. Hoping to get him the new Hyatt card with essentially fee waived and take advantage of the suite upgrade as well as getting the two free nights. Between the two of us, that would work out pretty nicely.

doesn't work in safari either.

My wife and I signed up yesterday and we are now platinum. It changed overnight sometime. My 2 sons became GP members yesterday and signed up yesterday too, after they joined. They haven't been updated yet. I wonder how long that will take?

Thank you for this link. It worked well for me.

just registered. Lets hope the account status changes soon.

Got link to work via Chrome!

Any similar offers available to Canadian GP members? I've got a holiday trip coming up with Hyatt stays booked that'll get me Plat by the end. Of course, it'd be nice to have the status before those stays occur.

I've tried signing up numerous times and each time I managed to get till the Registration Confirmation page but my status never changed to Plat. I've tried emailing Hyatt customer service but they could not see that I've enrolled in this promo. Same thing for my husband, no status update after almost a week. We've just joined Hyatt Gold Passport right before signing up for the promo, could that be a problem? Anyone has any idea?

Same here. Just signed up for Gold Passport as I need to book a few nights, 5 days since my application and status has not changed. Only tried once though. Will try again with IE when I have the time.

As a data point, this did work for me. After about 24 hours, my account updated to Platinum. It's set to expire 7/31.

Question about Platinum. The GP website says that Platinum members get a 72-hour guarantee of room availability. Does that only apply to paid stays, or would it also count for award stays? I'm assuming it's only for paid stays, but thought I'd ask.

Yes only on revenue stays - at the high Hyatt Daily Rate - to invoke the availability guarantee.

Thanks for posting this. Signed up this afternoon. My account is still showing as gold, but I am sure it will get upgraded soon.

The only time I ever stay at Hyatt is Memorial Day weekend, so the timing is great for the free wifi.

Tried this numerous times since Sunday night. I get the confirmation page, but it never applies to my account. Still shows Gold. Signed up a few times with different cards and nada. I'm new to Hyatt, I signed up about a week before I read about this promo since I'll be xferring Chase UR's to Hyatt for some hotel nights...

Having the same problem. Tried emailing and calling GP. They told me that Hyatt has to receive confirmation from the credit card issuers and in my case they are not, so that is why the promo isn't going through. They recommended that I call the issuers to see what the problem is. I feel like I'm just getting the run-around.

Tried both Chase and Citi Visa Signature cards so far and none worked so far. Might just have to call Chase and Citi if this still doesn't go through.

Same! I'm using my Chase Sapphire and Citi AA card. I haven't pulled out my stack of rarely used cards but I don't think any of them are Visa Signature.

Anyone that successfully signed up for this promo, what 'brand' Signature card were you using?

I signed up Weds afternoon and just signed in and my status is showing as platnium.

The card I used was my Citi Hilton Visa.

I see one of the benefits listed is 2 p.m. checkout upon request. Is this a guaranteed benefit like Starwood's 4 p.m. checkout or is subject to availability like Hiltons late checkout? My friend and I both have flights around 5:00 Memorial day weekend when I will be staying at the Hyatt on Wacker in Chicago and the 2 p.m. checkout would be great but the hotel is going to be sold out (or close to it) with a lot of checkouts that day.

Same! I'm using my Chase Sapphire and Citi AA card.
Those are the exact same cards I've tried without success so far.

Must be these 2 cards are not cooperating :(

Oh well, I just applied for the Hyatt Visa and got approved so I'll get Platinum anyways. I was mainly wanting to get this free upgrade 'first' so I qualify for the 2 room upgrades. But I need my Hyatt 2 free certs fast, no time to wait.

I cannot get it to work on FF or IE.

Same thing here. I see about 60% of the Visa card in each browser and no where to enter my acct. numbers. Help.

Worked fine here using Chrome and a JP Morgan Select card. Status updated after about 24 hours. ^

Must be updating that site, since you just get a Visa card with nowhere to enter numbers. The frame the card is in also displays "We cannot process your request at this time." in red letters. Hopefully this will clear up the issue of it not working with certain Signature cards.

Anyone has any success registering this promo? I entered both my partner and I using Chase Sapphire and it has been 2 days with no Platinum update in our account.

We just register to become the Gold Pass member last week. I also tried my United Explored Visa Signature card with no success.

Any idea?

These 2 cards seem to not be cooperating. Can't get a straight answer from Hyatt Gold # or Chase #. Chase doesn't even know about the promo lol. I emailed Visa Signature support via their website with no reply.

That's frustrating... We would like to apply for Chase Hyatt card and get the suite upgrade certs. Has anyone use Chase Sapphire or any card issued by Chase and successful registering for this promo?

I did it for my account last weekend and it worked fine. I don't recall exactly how many days it took but I would say around 3 days. Used a SWA VS card.

I did it for a family member's account over this weekend and they're still Gold. Though I was told a Hyatt rep has to 'manually' go over each request and approve it and that it is only done M-F. :rolleyes: They used a SWA VS card as well.

Just a a reminder if you haven't seen or signed up you this offer the sign up ends May 11.

thanks! just signed up :)

any one know if signing up for this deal will disqualify me from a future status match? I don't have a Hyatt stay planned in the future and wonder if i should sit this out...

Can anyone help out? I do not have a US issued Visa card but would like to get the plat status for an upcoming trip. Thanks.

You should have been upgraded to plat by now

Plat membership showing up already! Many thanks for your help ^

I'm glad you were able to take care of SYD-YYZ. I tried at least a dozen times and kept getting an error message after putting in his Hyatt GP number.

I just came back here to give it another try but I can see it's not necessary.

SYD-YYZ, enjoy your Plat status.

Thanks for trying for me too! You guys are so helpful!!

I've tried 3 different visa signature cards in chrome and ie and still no change in hyatt status. Tried several times this week and again last night and still nothing :confused:

I'm growing concerned it's not going to go through and with today being the last day I'm not sure what else I can do. Anyone had success calling? Or just the run around?

I got it to work using IE and a FIA Fidelity Visa Sig card. I tried at home on my mac w/FF last night and it didn't work. I might try for the Chase card and the upgrade certs during the 90 days. I stay at a hyatt for a conference every march - so timing could have been better.

I did it today with Chrome but it did take a couple of tries. I know 1 time I did the captca wrong so I cycled through to make sure I got one that was really easy to read. Maybe that is the issue or try a different browser.

I have tried multiple times with a Capital One Venture and a Chase Sapphire Preferred and have gotten through to the confirmation page but my status is not updating from Gold (has been about 10 days since my first attempt). Anyone have any advice or can help out in any way?

I was told by Gold Passport rep that it will take up to 48 hours for status upgrade to show. I would send a email today,it will take them days to respond but you would have written documentation at least.If you have time then call.If you get a GP rep that claims it's a Visa Signature issue & you need to contact Visa hang up. Try again until you find someone helpful.

It always gives me the confirmation page each time, so I assumed I got the captcha right. I haven't tried Firefox or Safari, but have with both Chrome and IE. Maybe I'll try those tonight as a last effort before the promo expires.

Thanks, just sent an email and also have a screen shot of the confirmation page. Now waiting and will probably try again with more cards & browser combos tonight.

Heh.

4pm: Book a night at the Hyatt for the first time in many year
4:05pm: Join Hyatt Gold Passport
4:15pm: Become Platinum via an offer I'd never heard of, and which expires today.

Thanks, flyertalk! You're very useful sometimes!

Anyone want to take pity and help someone out who doesn't have a signature card? Worth a shot.:cool:

I had the same problem where I had signed up with my Chase Sapphire Preferred and my status didn't change over the next couple days. So I sent an e-mail last night to them and today they responded saying they apologize for the inconvenience and are giving me Platinum status through February 2013!

I went through the exact same process and received Platinum through Feb 2013 as well. Definitely worth a shot for anyone having issues with the status posting.

It didn't work for me :( I tried to sign my fiance up for the VISA match with a Sapphire card and Hyatt never updated it from Gold to Platinum. I emailed GP and they only gave me the Platinum status until the end of August... Oh well I have my Diamond status so probably not much use for it anyways, except maybe having her get the Hyatt CC while Platinum.

How long did it take for them to respond? I've been waiting for a reply for the last few days.

Drat. I signed up for the promotion on the last day it was available, but apparently it didn't go through. I didn't find this out until I checked in at a Hyatt last night only to find that I had no status. :(

After talking to the desk girl for a while they agreed to comp me wi-fi (whoop de doo, it's like I'm staying in a Super 8!) but that was it.

Update: I emailed 'em and they got back to me four days later to give me Plat status through to Feb 2013. Hooray! They also retrospectively granted me the 15% points bonus I should have got.

Has anyone signed up for this promo and then signed up for the Hyatt CC promo with the 2 suite upgrades for Platnium?

I signed up for the credit card mainly to avoid foreign currency fees on a few trips coming up (and figured it was a cheap way to do it for a year since you get the credit back making the first year free) and it said platniums were to get 2 free nights and 2 suite upgrade coupons. Just wondering if I will get those or if Hyatt will claim I am not a real plantium since it was only temporary status.

I would think you would be considered a "real" Platinum - much the same way that someone who is enrolled in a Diamond challenge is considered a "real" Diamond for all purposes including the credit card sign up bonuses.

And I just found out that is the case:) I called the 800 number as instructed in the pack to tell them I received the card and when she was going over the benefits she said since I was platnium I would get 2 suite upgrades.

I was very impressed they overnighted the card and it was in a real nice packet.
