My first ever Hyatt stay was at the PHNY, and they thanked me for being a loyal Hyatt customer at check in, when I told him this was my first time ever in a Hyatt, he did a double take. I don't think at check-in they see my reservation history.

Whenever I go into a branch of my primary bank that isnt my main branch and get on the line I get a reg hello and asked to swipe my bank card so I do and then they run to get the marching band out to greet me, OK no band but they start up with all the nonsense and ask how they can help me I usually say simply by not wasting my time with all the small talk and utter nonsense sayings and simply next time ask that question 1st. Certain banks the reg tellers wont take care of me and want the special rep to, I ask them can they please take my bank card rip it up and send me a basic one so I wont have to waste my time dealing with the special reps., whose sole purpose is to get me to move all my financial dealings to the bank which I wont do or at least bring in another chunk of it also wont do = those special reps will simply waste my time and I dont want any part of it

point is once they know who you are by the computer telling them they read on script, every now and then you will find a real Mc Coy who honestly means what they say very rare. And it usually ends after thanking me for being a Globalist with Oh we upgraded you = you are now in the same room but on a floor higher up = no real Upgrade of any meaning, rare is when I end up in a much better room then what the app showed that morning, its unfortunately becoming an Industry standard among all the programs, especially Hyatt who minted tons and tons of Globalists and the hotels know it
