And some
background on VIP Codes for the uninitiated.
Now then...are there any confirmed V8's out there (especially Diamond V8's) willing to comment on how they have been treated at various properties?
I have no idea what my own status is coded as, but given the amount of standing up I do for myself (i.e. "complaining") and pointing out issues on my blog, I would not be surprised if I have achieved this "honor" for myself. Yet I cannot think of any particularly bad experiences since becoming a Diamond in 2012. I had an excellent stay at the HR Osaka last month, and HGP recently went above and beyond the call of duty to resolve a recent issue with my account.
So my question...is there any proof that being labelled a "V8" actually detrimental to one's experiences dealing with Hyatt?
