  1. A hotel, refuses to accept the Check Certificate (in writing, in response to my prearrival enquiry) though it shows on the link as one that does - case in point is the Hyatt Place Schiphol Airport Amsterdam
  2. A hotel openly states, again in writing, that they include service fees in the exchange rate they use when converting the value
Does one have any recourse in such situations?
Maybe ask Hyatt Consumer Affairs about this? [email protected]
Fortunately I eventually used up my pile of Costco stay certificates from many years ago. I think I exclusively used them for US stays due to the exchange rate issue and it often was a challenge getting the front desk people at a Hyatt Place to handle them properly.
