Grand Hyatt Santiago-Diplomatic Suite USD $5.00 per night

Came across this at Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts. All rooms for my dates (October 14-17 2015)
pricing out at less that USD 5 per night. According to Google that is the exchange rate but I
am having a hard time believing that is right so feel free to let me know if I am reading the
booking page incorectly.

You are reading it correctly, but it must be an error of some sort, as those nights on hyatt.com price from $170k CLP per night.

3rd best suite

FHR dropped the 000? that would mean rate of almost USD$5K

amex probably has something (in T&C etc) that prevents them from ever having to honor these kinds of mistakes
as long as you are not relying on the mistake booking (maybe book regular room, at least in addition) could try it

How did you get it to price up in CLP as I might make a speculative booking as I will be out there. I can only get it to price in GBP (currency of my card) for much higher

Well, now that Gary Leff has lifted this post it would seem that the OP would've been best to keep this deal to him/herself.........

when looking at FHR rates? With a Platinum or Centurion charge card? On the US site this should price in CLP.

I'm in Canada and can only see FHR rates in CDN dollars. Have yet to figure out how to change to CLP.

I was accessing from the US site and I didn't have an option to change anything currency related. It just displayed this hotel in CLP while pricing the other result (Ritz Carlton Santiago) in USD.

Also in the US. Automatically shows up in CLP.

Was able to book a 5-night stay in September. Received confirmation email.

Total: 13,000 Chilean pesos.

Made 2 bookings for Thu, Nov 19, 2015 through Tue, Nov 24, 2015.

Grand King - 8,000 CLP (~12.11 USD)
Diplomatic Suite - 15,325 CLP (~23.20 USD)

Got both confirmations from Amex Travel. However, cannot find Hyatt confirmation # in e-mail or when reviewing my reservation on Amex travel. Does anyone know if we can get that?

Fully expecting cancellation so I can be happy if they keep them.

Greg
