This issue affects several hundred people at most.

My best guess is anywhere from 70-200 customers affected by this.
Perhaps those who were targeted yes just a few hundred.
If the definition includes the general public accessing the link, then we are talking multiples to the original problem. We've seen on this thread, examples of those who click on a link that was posted, applied, and was accepted, but only received Platinum status. There are no internal numbers to how many applications were received in this fashion. I'm not one to begin to speculate.
Besides, on my previous post, i mentioned that there is no legal leg to stand on. But if the problem had legal relevance, then Hyatt Gold Passport, can avert liability by recatagorizing its loyalty program. The cost is prohibitive to do this, so the liability would have to be greater than the cost to recatagorize.
