Um, yeah. The people at the other end of the phone may not know what you are talking about. They may demand the World of Hyatt number of your GoH. It may work just fine. I mean, in theory you are doing something simple.

Seems to be hit or miss. I had two at a HH that listed GoH in the preferences area of the email confirmation. Another at a PH doesn't list a preferences section at all, but confirmed when calling in that it is in a field we can't see on the reservation.

So after a no-help interaction described above, and seeing the mixed results that the rest of you were getting, this am I tried again, from scratch.
This time I got a knowledgeable person at the other end of the line who make the booking, took the name of my GoH (without demanding their WoH number), and sent out an e-mail right away confirming everything and listing "Guest of Honor" under Preferences, at the bottom of the e-mail.

P+C OK?
Tonight I was trying to make a GOH reservation in an international destination and the helpful agent told me that I could book it as a P+C stay.
Does anyone know if this is true. Could they have changed the policy?

More likely a rogue agent.

My parents -in-law returned from a 3 night stay at PH Hamburg. Only available room when booking was a King room. Emailed the hotel that they prefer 2 queens.
upon Check-in they were pro-actively upgraded to the Club level with 2 beds.
they had a fantastic stay, celebrating 50th wedding anniversary. they praised all the hotel staff.
GOH works :-)

Has anyone tried to make a GoH booking using a "Promotional Award"?
I have a Cat 1-4 in my account expiring early October and would like to use it on some friends.

I was able to transfer the award. I requested that Guest of Honor be added and it was. I suggest contacting a sympathetic representative.
I obviously don't know if it was done for me because I'm a Courtesy Card holder.
