During a stay last year, I did this to lower the avg cost on a PH Vendome stay. When I checked in, the FD was happy to and proactively merged everything into a single reservation. However, on certain days, I'd find my key card had been reset requiring a trip to the FD to have it reset.

Actually, I have experienced something similar.

Im a GLobalist - have 2 free nights as such, and another free night for my credit card.
I think the first 2 are unlimited on hyatt hotel level, and the card is for a 1-4 level hotel.
Whats the best way to search avail on the globalist 2 free nights. Im trying to book Andaz or PH Tokyo, is it just trial and error until the Free night link pops up when searching availability?

Unfortunately there is no real easy way except trying the hard way. Another way is to see if there are standard rooms available for sale.
Your best bet may be to call in to customer service.

Does anyone know if spend on Hyatt gift card does not earn points? I recently had a stay where the total charge was $6xx and I used 2 x $200 gift cards. Eligible spend on Hyatt.com shows as $2xx and I only earned points based on that amount. Also, the stay was P+C and is suprisingly showing as 0 eligible nights (although less concerning because I don't anticipate maintaining any status for 2018). Thanks

Keep in mind that sometimes it works the opposite way though. I have found it to be particularly true with my corporate rate. If I book a short stay I get a high rate, but if I extend it out to a M-F reservation the rate drops

And, as I don't book on a corporate rate, I've never noticed that.

Seems to be much more difficult to accumulate Hyatt Gold Passport points since March. With the loss of 1000 point Diamond amenity bonus and 2500 point club closure bonus, feels like point earning has been cut in half. (Similar to the airlines when they changed to revenue based point earning.) Seems also that this would affect the usual “number of stays or dollars spent to earn a free night” calculations and comparisons. Is this a common thought?

In my defense, I have done a search to try and find the answer to this question... I am not a "Hyatt Regular" so usually only use Hyatt points that have been transferred from UR.
What is anyone's experience using those gift cards at an international property? Specifically, I'd like to use it at the Hyatt Regency Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong.
When I've used Marriott gift cards internationally, they have a currency conversion function on their website so as long I know how much is on the card in the local currency, I've had no trouble using internationally.
Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers.
