I just became Globalist, but I’m uncertain about what to expect as far as pushback on late checkout.
Reason being that, I made Explorist a year ago and my late checkout success actually took a dive this past year when compared to when I was Discoverist. I wonder if Hyatt’s changing due to labor shortage. It seemed to me 2pm was guaranteed as a Discoverist. I’ve stayed at 5 different properties as Explorist this past month, one place wouldn’t allow later than something like 12.30p and another flat out said no late checkout to anyone (mind you, that one was GH Vail, a resort). Thing is, I’ve stayed at GH Vail in the past as Discoverist and I think they’ve always given me late checkout.

I couldn’t get 2pm at that one aforementioned Hyatt Place property even though I designated that via app checkin. Maybe my problem was I asked the front desk on top of doing that on the app. Is the
checkout time you request on the app guaranteed?
I have a stay next month where I’ll be banking on 2.30pm checkout. Can I really just designate it on the app and call it a day, or should I still ask the front desk?
