Of course, if Hyatt had only announced their June promo already, we probably wouldn't be bickering now, would we.
For full disclosure:
I am a male, so you have that. I was employed by a California State University institution, but that was three years after I held Hyatt PLAT status and status on AA and Delta. I had an another handle here on FT but I did not use it enough and forgot the name/password while I lived in Tampa and D/FWfrom 2000-2004.
Ethics are ethics, and I will not gain 6 stays from a code which I was not "entitled" to, however some posters who did not receive it from Hyatt believe that they deserve it.
On another hand, with the other FT thread about leaving a tip if the waitstaff did not acknowledge a special...$3 is nothing. Many of us have read the initial post on OMNI from a man who apparently looks to "get over" on many companies by himself or through relatives. He (and others) attempt to justify unethical issues, and I don't think that FT is a place where we judge of if a purchase is unethical within the TOC of a company, yet others think we can be said judge. FWIW, I do mot come here to make sure my ethical decisions are considered OK here.
Since 2000, I have averaged 8 Starwood stays and 15 Hyatt stays per year, yet I have thought that I was disrespected or hurt if I was not upgraded. I terms of airline miles, I was a DL FO from 2000-2006. After that I was not required to travel as much through the air.
If I have little expectations, then I do, but I do feel that after reading most posts there is a since of entitlement which I never expected.
