Mixing points + cash, point, and paid nights
Hi All,
I'm trying to make a reservation at the Hyatt French Quarter for Thursday-Sunday Oct 22-26. It's 20k points per night and I currently have a bit over 40k points. Currently it will allow a night on points Wednesday-Friday, points and cash on Wednesday and Thursday. It will also allow Saturday to be booked with points if Thursday is included.
So what I'd like to do is points + cash on Wednesday and Thursday, points on Friday, and then pay for Saturday at the regular rate. The problem is that it will not allow a Saturday only booking, and the agent I talked to in the reservation center said she couldn't book it just that night as a paid stay. Does this make sense? I realize that the reservation system might look at the single paid night as separate, but should they have a way of overriding it since it's really a 4 night stay that ought to be allowed? The system would allow me to book Saturday with points if it were all being booked with the same currency, so it makes no sense that they won't allow me to actually pay the night instead of accepting a lower reimbursement from a loyalty night!
Just trying to see if anyone has done something like this before or if a different agent or supervisor would be able to push the reservation through.
