The best you can negotiate as FT-like open forum is AAA type of discount.
I agree with that, but I do think that Hyatt would garner a solid amount of business by offering a FT discount code. If Hyatt did this they would get some very good press here on FT and to my knowledge be the first large hotel/airline to offer such a discount to us. If the discount was decent enough...something greater than AAA discount, they would probably steal some biz from the competition. I belong to other forums where corporations do offer forum members a unique discount. Of course in the matter of minutes that code would be plastered all over fatwallet and slickdeals and no longer be unique.
