I'm clearly on a different level than most or I know how to ask!

FYI: the hotel see more than Diamond, they know how much you spend, how long you have been elite and your total base point. I was just told this by a manager at a Hyatt in NYC. He looked at my profile was impressed. I've have been gold passport member for almost 25 years and this is my 10th year as diamond. I get points for every dollar I spent unless what I stated above.

I also worked for Hyatt.
Yikes, that didn't come across as snotty and condescending.

We had a $4000+ plus dinner at La Toque at the Westin Napa and didn't get points for wine that represented 65% of bill.

I have had many dinners with lesser bills where the points for booze were added after the fact by pressing GP.
