Hello...received a letter from Hyatt that offered a comp to Plat status until February 2005 if I stay at a Hyatt 2 times before December 15.

I already have a stay scheduled in Dallas for a conference this November.

Will be travelling to Seattle and using GP points for three nights at the Park Hyatt in early-December.

Question is this: If I *pay* for a 4th night at the Park Hyatt, would that count as a "stay", since I have already been there for three nights on GP award?

Also, does anyone know if Priceline stays would count as a "stay"? Nowhere does it say anything about a 'qualified rate' or Priceline not qualifying.
