Also a no go These are the things I feel like a Concierge used to be able to push thru, but maybe it's just that this hotel is super stingy on awards in general.

BUT...in the end it worked out. While sitting in a Zoom meeting last Thursday I happened to check availability and the Andaz suite had opened up for the entire stay (odd since additional nights beyond the one had also disappeared from availability a couple days before). Immediately contact Hyatt via Twitter (certainly wasn't going to wait for the Concierge to respond for fear of losing the availability) and got the TSU applied.
This was my experience as well when I tried to apply a suite award for the second part of a stay. I tried a few different times before giving up. It's a little frustrating, but I'm just glad they are still willing to shorten reservations to avoid the crazy minimums. For December 2021, there was a 30 night minimum for an award!
