My argument is this, if Hyatt decided to offer Santa Claus lifetime diamond status because he is a frequent traveler, (especially on Christmas) and Santa Claus decides to share this benefit to his elves by forwarding the email & link. Does that mean all of his elves deserve to be diamond members as well because they got the link?
I think Hyatt has every right to target Santa Claus. If SC decides to share the link to all of his elves, it's not Hyatt or Chase's fault and they are not obligated to honor the benefit, that was originally for SC. If you do not like the way Hyatt does business, by treating SC better than his elves, then don't give Hyatt your business.
Exactly. Anyone who thinks a Santa Claus offer should be taken seriously.. Well, its self explanatory.
Its disappointing that the deal isn't honoured upon successful application. There were those targeted who's having the deal honoured. Sure would have liked to be one of those targeted. But to click on a link with Santa Claus on it, is grabbing for straws. Sure its worth a try, but hyatt is quite clear that they will not honor the Santa Claus offer.
