They have some odd language in the t&c that make it seem like new accounts also can’t receive points via a transfer for 60 days.

Program membership for at least sixty (60) days is required to purchase, give, or receive Bonus Points under this option.

And I can’t even imagine what THAT error message would say- though I suppose it can’t be worse than the nonexistent “your account is too new” message.

Fortunately Hyatt is not our only choice so we will just go elsewhere. But maybe in the future someone else with a new account will see this thread and it will save them a headache. Fingers crossed.
