I'm not sure it is written anywhere (searched, but couldn't find)...I know you can't get points for a room that is direct billed, but do you get the night/stay credit? I've gotten it in the past, but when I called up to request a suite upgrade, they said i couldn't use the suite upgrade on a direct bill rate (which is weird, but i've done that before as well). I asked about the stay credit and they said no, I won't get stay/night credit either. Anybody have a definite answer, or is this a YMMV? thank you.

Hi guys, wondering if anyone can help with the answer while I'm still waiting for my last stay at park hyatt tokyo to post in the account.
I stayed there on a 4th night free offer, and wonder if the 4th night would be considered an "eligible night" under the fall promo? Sort of guessing no, but wanted to know for sure as I'm planning another stay by the end of the month when I will be travelling again, so wanted to see how I could maximise the fall promo.
thanks in advance for any help offered!

DSU's book in the entry level suites.... So you need to check if any of those is available. To use a DSU it normally takes some planning, booking early is required for a lot of properties since the entry level suites do sell.
You can still use them for bookings you make until the expiration date (even if you stay later) and you will get another 4 on March 1st.

So I'll be traveling to Hong Kong soon...
They're running a rate promo at GH HK...If I book a promo rate, I can't use points to upgrade my room correct? I'll have to book at the daily rate (which is about 100 USD more).

Hi
If i participate in the "new" diamond challenge and book a Hyatt for 12 nights, check in physically, but check-out after say 2 nights, will the outstanding nights count for the challenge? Or other way around, do I have to stay all nights after a physical check-in?
Thanks for your swift answer.
