It's 10% off of the Hyatt daily rate; which is the same that the AAA BREAKF rate is discounted off of currently. So for Diamonds, COSTCO (or AARP) is much better than AAA right now. The same 10% off Hyatt daily rate, free Diamond breakfast, plus $25 per day credit.
I've already rebooked most of my cancellable stays with this new COSTCO rate and have stayed one night at the AVIA LB using this COSTCO promo. They told me I could use it for anything I wanted (parking, food, etc.).
One important note about the COSTCO rate though in case you haven't booked it in the past - you need to use that link I posted which has both the code COSTCO and some numeric code for the right COSTCO promo to show up (Offer code COSTCO, Group # 66267 I think). This is because there are two separate COSTCO promos. There is a Costco rate called "Costco Standard" that only gives you the 10% off, and a separate promo called "Costco Member Promotion" that gives you the 10% plus $25 per night credit (up to $100 or $125 depending on the property, with some exclusions). Make sure it says "Costco Member Promotion" when you are booking your room and also to click on rate details which should mention you are getting the $25 credit, otherwise it may be the wrong COSTCO promotion.
Hope this helps!

And I am fully aware that $25 doesn't buy much. I'm figuring on a nice dinner every other night, and maybe a PPV movie or two.
At least for AVIA LB they told me it's a cumulative total off of anything at all I spend over my stay (like food, parking, etc.); but I'd check at check in to verify since each property may handle it differently. Also, you are capped at either $100 or $125 depending on the type of property per stay (and it's not valid at Park Hyatt's and Summerfield Suites). One thing that's not clear is if this cap is per room or total (i.e. if you have 3 rooms for the same 4 nights, do you get the credit for all 3 rooms or just up to the cap).
Here is what the terms said for the Avia LB:
Rate Description:
COSTCO MEMBER PROMOTION 10pct Off the Hyatt Daily Rate plus a $25 daily stay credit up to 100.00 USD Maximum towards eligible charges posted to the room bill. Credit not eligible on room rate, taxes, gratuities, alcohol, service charges or resort fees. - Valid 14NOV11-29FEB12 - Tax Excluded Rate is extended to members of Costco.
