I put in for a redemption request on 9/3/02 for $50 in Hyatt gift certificates and received two $25 Hyatt gift certificates on 12/27/02. I emailed the folks at Milesource a few weeks ago inquiring when I would get them and received a reply within 6 hours indicating it would arrive before the end of the year.
Milesource seems to be taking much longer to fulfill redemptions than they used to but they still come through in the end.
The Hyatt gift certificates are combineable and I have never had any problem with them at any hotel or resort.
