I know there are different reports all over the forums about some hotels really shafting folks on the conversion rate, but other hotels giving market rate (almost overly fair). I wish Hyatt would address the conversion rate specifically for Hyatt certs so that we could know we wouldn't get shafted when buying these for ourselves or as gifts. With that said, I wonder if I could call in to get the daily rate at the hotel and see how bad it is relative to market?
