Currently I'm SPG Plat, likely moving domestic traffic to Hyatt.
Since these certificates cannot officially be used for pre-paid rates, which are typically the lowest, what is the value I'm missing here. Why use a discount certificate when you have to pay a higher rate? Doesn't this negate the value or are there other, valid, rate discounts I'm missing?
Sorry, I'm really not appreciating all this and have to assume I'm missing something due to all the fervor.
Thanks for your patience, help & insight!
The prepaid rates are sometimes the lowest, but certainly not all the time or most of the time. My corporate rate is usually lower and some other properties or nights don't offer a prepaid rate. There's also some discussion about using an incorrect expiration date for your CC and therefore there will be no prepay and then use the certs when you get there, but I've never personally done this.
