Excellent question. Citi segregates the Travel Certificates from other gift cards, and it is easy to overlook them.

The Hyatt item is listed HERE.

Click the Terms & Conditions link:

Hyatt Hotels & Resorts®
Hyatt Check Certificates
The Hyatt Check Certificate may only be accepted in increments equivalent to or in excess of the face value toward eligible purchases equivalent to, or in excess of the face valued at participating Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. Multiple Hyatt Check Certificates will be accepted individually only in such increments in excess of their face value. Locations are subject to change without notice and acceptance varies by property. Not valid for Casino charges, concessions within the hotel not owned or operated by Hyatt, packages or rates that require advanced purchase or deposit, deposits, payments for meeting, catering, and group functions, negotiated volume rates (whether paid by the group or on an individual basis) for example, negotiated volume business, organization, meeting, convention, and crew rates. Negotiated volume rates are special rates that have been previously negotiated and agreed to in writing by a business, individual, organization or association in exchange for a "volume" or block of rooms. In the United States and Puerto Rico the total charged will be reduced by the face value of the Hyatt Check Certificate. Outside of the United States and Puerto Rico, the total charges will be reduced by converting the USD value of the Hyatt Check Certificate into local currency according to the daily exchange rate at the hotel. If a transaction exceeds the Hyatt Check Certificate's face value, the user must pay the difference. The Hyatt Check Certificate is not replaceable if lost, destroyed or stolen. Hyatt Check Certificate does not expire. Void if altered, photocopied, or reproduced. Terms are void where prohibited by law. The use of Hyatt Check Certificates at certain destinations shall be subject to respective government approvals, regulations, restrictions and applicable taxes. Terms and Conditions of the Hyatt Check Certificates are governed by the laws of the state of Maryland, USA without regard to its choice of law provisions. Certificate is void if sold for cash or other consideration. Hyatt Hotels & Resorts encompasses hotels and resorts managed, franchised, or operated by subsidiaries and affiliates of Hyatt Hotels Corporation. HYATT, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Park Hyatt, Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, and Andaz, names, designs and related marks are trademarks of Hyatt Hotels Corporation. If the Hyatt Check Certificate is received as a premium, as a part of a loyalty program, or other non-cash transaction, these additional terms and conditions shall apply:

Please see the front of the Gift Check for its expiration date.
No credit or change will be given on any unused portion of the certificate.

Thx Mia, this is very helpful. Btw, my folks just redeemed $1100 of the RC cruise GC. I've still got about 3K to redeem on Carnival.

We are going to Banff in October, so we ordered an Alamo GC for the car rental.

Warning- it can't be used internationally. We returned it and ordered the Budget GC instead, which CAN be used internationally.

In the Hyatt forum, there a bunch of threads about using Hyatt Check Certificates. In general, yes, they can be used overseas, but not all Hyatt locations accept them, so be sure to check.
