[QUOTE=hailstorm;22940505]This might work in the case of Hilton, as I don't think that their system differentiates between paid and award stays when listed in the account records you send to Hyatt.

Has anyone tried this? I would hate to count on an award night and then find out I was wrong, though I guess I could always book a hasty night at a Hilton if I had to. My husband would think I'm nuts, but he's thought me crazy when it comes to this stuff for a long time.
