I wish someone from Hyatt can post the T&C for life time Dia. There are many threads and msgs on this board but they all seem to be hear say from CSRs or front desk personnel (many conflicting statements). The T&C will help end all speculations surrounding this topic.
On your example its 665. Base points means what you spend for eligible charges multiplied by 5 points per dollar. Base points does not include any bonus (for example if you have "elite" status, the extra points you get above 5 points per eligible dollars; or, if you are taking advantage of a promotion such as a "G1 - 1000 point bonus" (etc.), any of those bonus points).

You can see your lifetime total points (meaning base + bonus) online when logged onto your Gold Passport account. To see how many BASE points alone you have, and thus be able to track your progress towards 1 million base points, you need to call Gold Passport. They can quickly let you know how many you have.
