Are overlapping stays a problem for crediting?
I have a three night stay upcoming followed immediately by a three night stay at another Hyatt.
As I have a Citi prestige card, I can book 4 nights, and get the 4th night free, so I'm tempted to book the 4 nights in my first stay so that I can credit 4 nights instead of 3.
However on that 4th night, I will also be staying in another Hyatt hotel which I hope to credit. I assume that this will raise a flag in their system and I probably won't get the credit for one of the nights or one of the stays?

Probably not.... in the past people who had a valid reason to stay at 2 properties for an identical night have gotten a manual credit. But that was when WOH was actually a decent program.
Nothing stops you from trying though.

I don't think you will get credit. Mrs. Smallest State and I went to HR San Francisco on a Thursday to Monday run. I had a work commitment on the Friday, we stayed and looked around SF Saturday and most of Sunday. Well Sunday night I flew to DFW for a Monday meeting there. She stayed in the HR SF until her flight the next day and I checked into the DFW HR.
I didn't get overlapping points and it took two calls to Gold Passport to ensure I did.

I've done this same scenario a few times.
* I've always gotten the points from the overlapping night.
* I've never gotten the night credit.
When booking my explanation has always been "I have a later flight and want access to the room after the checkout time, but still want to check into my hotel in the next city that night".
