Seems to me that Garys Twitter post and subsequent chatter with his Twitter Friends are still posted on Twitter. However, when you click on the link to read the content of his Orginal Twitter Post, some other content now comes up?. Perhaps since he is an Affiliate of AMEX, he was asked to take it down? Very odd indeed. With that happening, Im more inclined to think that this may be honored as a Flash Sale (which it is).. Thanks and Safe Travels

Are we at the point I can try and find out my Hyatt confirmation number to add my # to it?

I stayed about a week ago for $1.600 CLP. Was not honored at the property but Amex is currently working on my dispute.
My risk was minimal for one night in a standard room. Those that booked multiple nights in a suite may have a hefty charge to bare following their stay.
Hotel 'said' they spoke with Amex and that Amex would contact me with a compromise. Doubt that is the case.
Even after my stay the rate was live until VFTW posted. Well over a week.

good to hear that when it is not spread on internet, plat/cent FHR may work with client.

I would hope so otherwise not doing so could lead to a lot more issues. I think Amex Platinum/FHR will honor this. I really don't think a ton of people got this. As someone posted you had to know about it, have an Amex Plat or Centurion, and then book it during a small window.

I'm the OP and I had not seen that trip report before. I was searching for a hotel for an upcoming mileage run/ mini vacation in Santiago and stumbled upon this rate on the FHR site. On my last trip to SCL my Jr Suite at the Ritz was USD $500 per night so I was quite excited when I saw this rate.

Enjoy Chile regardless of where you stay and what you pay. I was impressed.
