Personally I tend to stay at cat 5s or 6s so I'm looking at more like a 4-5% rebate (which I'm also not complaining about).
I find it interesting that Hyatt likes to push their lower-end properties more than their high end ones. How about 5k pts per night for GH, PH, and Andaz? (In fairness they did have a 2x qual night at Andaz promo last year, which I unfortunately missed by a couple of days)
My question is, does a "free night award" include point redemptions, or only certificates? I have a 3-night points-only stay coming up next week -- I assume that this will be my "first stay" and everything after that will get me the bonus?
I noticed the odd "free night award" language as well and it gave me pause on whether or not points redemption awards count or not. I have a current MLife stay from the 15th - 18th in cash. Then I have a mixed free night award and points redemption stay in Seattle in March at a HP, so I am definitely hoping I can get 1500 for all 5 nights.
And this promotion is also making me re-think my stay in Portland right before Seattle. I am currently burning 100K MR points for an RI for 5 nights. Now I am wondering if it is worth it for me to instead transfer 60K UR to WOH to book a HP next door for the same 5 nights. But then of course I will have 100K in points in a program that is rapidly devaluing. Anyone have any thoughts?
