Pointshound for Hyatt reservations
Anyone have any experience using pointshound.com for Hyatt reservations and double dipping on both miles and Hyatt points? It appears you may be able to receive full Hyatt GP benefits

Anyone have issues with elite benefits on property using this? I have had Hilton not honor status if I use outside services, not tried with Hyatt

I used the Pointshound site 3 weeks ago to book a stay at Grand Hyatt using the rates that allow status use, and United Miles. I was able to use one of my Diamond upgrades even though I went through PH, and was given night, and points credit at Hyatt.

I guess if you can convince your company that you booked a low rate, and rack up lots of miles, it's good. For anyone self funding, or facing scrutiny on bookings, I'd avoid it.

I checked various hotels when I first looked into Pointshound. I found their pricing to be 10-20% higher than rates on the hotel's website.
