An error message that reads, "There was a problem with your credit card information. Please try again or try a different card." serves to let users know there was a problem with the card. This is also what I was told by 2 different Hyatt employees via phone and DM on Twitter. Your fellow colleagues appear confused by the error message being returned as well.
It would be helpful to all involved if the error message read, "Your World of Hyatt account has to be opened at least 60 days before you can purchase points."
That would save people from having to go onto travel message boards to decipher what is actually going wrong.
The work around for you is if you have a Family Member or friend, Co-Worker, that you trust that has a open and longer standing WOH account. If you do, put their account and pay with your CC. Have them transfer point to you, will take about 2-4 days.
