I suspect that the definition of the discount rate doesn't have anything to do with the amount paid but with the channel where the rate was found. Most likely, the hotel you stayed at didn't get the amount you paid. Thomas Cook probably has a discounted rate at the hotel and they just decided to sell it to you and other guests at the same cost as found on hyatt.com in order not to give you an incentive to book directly with Hyatt.
