So it's a $319 WGA rebate for 5 stays, or $63.80/stay.
I have to do two more nights this month to finish off the regular Hyatt Q2 promo, and then I'll switch over. That might be enough to get me in shooting distance of regaining Hyatt Diamond if a decent Q4 promo comes up - I had given up on them after their awful Q2 promo. The two I need in June and 5 in July/August would get me to 13 stays for the year.

I stayed at Hyatts for two years doing mattress runs and anytime I wanted miles because of a great promotion, I had to call Hyatt and have them transfor the points to the miles. They realize that their system is flawed and do not mind doing it. Typically, I just wait for multiple stays to hit my gold passport account and then call and have them do a big transfer over. The miles, however, can take a while sometimes to hit your Southwest account.
With a few Southwest flights, Southwest promotions, and MANY hotel promotions I was able to earn a companion pass under the old system, which is great.

Three guys in the Hyatt forum confirm that they got the 19K WN points, and that only the first 600 from each stay are Companion-Pass qualifying.

This is a very attractive offer. It is an even better offer if you have the C1 Venture card: you can in effect obtain a $900 Hyatt Gift Card for almost 30% off, then use the GC to pay for your five stays. If you find an inexpensive Hyatt you can end up with points worth more than what your net cost for the stays.
To read more about the offer, go to tmb's thread on the Hyatt board. One thing not covered in that thread and which seems more appropriate to discuss in this forum:

Has anybody used RR points from Hyatt stays to top off a relative's RR account?
(In the Hyatt program you provide your FF# at each check in; it apparently might not even be possible to save any FF account number in your HGP profile.)

Just earned my 10K bonus points!! I would say that this promo was much better than the RR1 promo they ran Q1 2010 (5 times miles, 2.5 SW credits) per stay.
I am not sure if Hyatt or SW has a mechanism in place to compare the names on the miles transfer, but I know that when I used to call GP to switch stays from points to miles they did always ask for my RR#. I don't see any where on the web site to store this info. My PL Rep asked me for it once as well so I am guessing she just wrote it down and has to manually apply it each time I switch to miles.

Once you give them your RR# over the phone they have it in your GP account. I think it might drop if and when you give them a number from another airline.
I heard
that in the old RR system you could funnel miles to other accounts with the same last name. Not sure if this still holds true with RR 2.0.
