Can anyone address this as I think in accepting those 500 airline points I may have lost the 5x points. Thanks for the clarification as I am a Starwood guy and this was my very first stay as a Diamond Hyatt after a tier match.
You are correct that if you took 500 airline miles, you lose the points (you're still eligible for the 1W (1,000 points Diamond amenity), DN (2,500 closed club compensation), and you'll still get the 2,000 part of the 10k for 5 nights promo since that is separate from the stay).
