FFN Is Coming -- Announcement By The End Of This Week!!
I just got off the phone with the Diamond Desk and they confirmed that there will be another FFN promotion period and that the website will have the announcement by the end of this week!
She could not give me specifics as to the operative dates, and how many stays would be necessary to earn a free night (you know they could change the parameters for earning them), or the dates for redemption, but she was able to confirm that it would again be in conjunction with a MasterCard.
So, check the website regularly for any developments and post them once they are known!

Oh my god! Do I need to start switching the property every night as I did last year during the promotion? 
If I can recall right I ended up racking 20+ FFN's.
Does the Hyatt gift card payment show as a Mastercard payment on the folio?

yes, you have to switch .
and
no, you have to pay for the stay 100% with MC.
I was about to order a bunch of gift cards to cover my needed stays for the rest of the year.
I'm glad I didn't.

^ Great news.
Now I can eventually turn my Christmas holiday award reservation into a FFN stay and keep hoarding those points.

The rules usually state that the entire stay has to be paid with the MC. I would not mention any loopholes / errors.

I could order about $5K worth of Hyatt GC’s if they would work this way. It is just more money into Hyatt’s pockets (and some more Hyatt GP points for holtju2).
