Anyone knows Make A Wish Foudation?

Hi, new to the Hyatt and noticed there's a corporate code by Make A Wish Foundation. It offers good discounts on many Hyatt properties. Has anyone used it actually and tell us your story please?

Not even Make A Wish employees themselves are allowed to use it unless they can prove that they are on official business, so I would stay far away from actually booking a rate with this code.

It's usefulness is in determining just how far a hotel is willing to go in reducing its prices.

Maybe they are able to get some tax-deductions for the discount they provide....

Doubtful that can be arranged for every country in the world where it is accepted...

Wow, abusing a negotiated rate for a charity, intended for those beneficiaries of a 'Wish' and their families. Has to be one of the lowest posts I've seen on FT.

As someone who works in the sector I think this is irresponsible, grotesque and selfish.

What's the difference with abusing a corporate rate? It's not like the foundation is paying for the room....
