The main downside to Prive’ is the Standard Rate.
PH Beaver Creek has a Standard King or Queen listed for $189 per night at the Standard Rate while they have a King Village Side (an upgrade from Standard) for $142 on a regular Hyatt.com Rate. So in booking through Prive’ you’d pay ~$50 more nightly (after taxes). After a 4 night stay that differential has caught up. Also, not sure what you can use the property credit for there any ideas? Someone said they spent money dining, spa etc. there and it didn’t net them WOH points so not sure what qualifies for the credit.
One other drawback for Globalists is you’d have to pay a cash rate rather than pay with points. You might say why is that a big deal?
Two properties on the list I would ALWAYS recommend paying with points.
Manchester Grand Hyatt and Hyatt Centric Waikiki.
Why? Complimentary Parking. The valet at these properties charges about $45 per night pre-tax. Also, they’re Category 4 properties so you can use your Cat 1-4 Certificates or 15k points. At ~$50 a night after tax that adds up quickly.
These are only two out of the very many on the list participating so don’t dwell too much on them I was just pointing out one caveat.
Overall it’s a great deal, and I think we will be doing more traveling than originally planned due to this offer. Thanks again for sharing!
I'm not a Globalist yet so when I booked Hyatt TST in HK through Prive, I got breakfast for free. The price difference wasn't that big at the time, but I forgot the exact amount. It was small enough that I made the reservation.
As for Honolulu, I totally agree with you. While I haven't stayed at the Hyatt Centric Waikiki before, one does need a car for Hawaii in general. I stayed at an Airbnb the last time I was in Honolulu and parking was included. Of course, that doesn't get me the EQNs that I need to achieve status.
