Dana ,
This is the opposite of what every Gold pasport rep told me. I have 9 nights paid for at the park Hyatt Busan, but Hyatt only counts 5 of those to the Challenge "because u can't stay in 2 rooms at once" Frankly, you haven't seen how big I am, and I can always sleep in the doorway of the connecting rooms. SPG gives this credit. In any case, i met the terms of the offer and we shall see what happens when Jul 31 rolls around, but I'd be unlikely to spend some of the 60+ nights I have given to SPG this year, on Hyatt properties in the future if they change their agreements after realizing some rooms can be booked cheaply. Frankly, I live in Vegas, but I would have used Hyatt on my last trip to Africa except they had no hotels there.
I pay for all my stays out of pocket---i am a retired 100+ per night luxury leisure traveler and between SPG and LHW...there just wouldn't be any point "fighting over it" Besides, my AARP card prohibits excessive legal exertions.
