AMEX Fine Hotel & Resort and Hyatt Benefits
There was a recent clarification in the Marriott forum by one of their lurkers stating that Marriott will honor elite benefits, nightly credits, and points accreditation for travel made through AMEX for Fine Hotel & Resorts and The Hotel Collection whether prepaid or paid at the hotel.
This is specific for FHR and THC only.
Is Hyatt's policy similar as above or do they consider any booking outside of Hyatt as 3rd party and therefore no benefits/credits/points, is it up to the specific hotel, ...?
