Has anyone tried (successfully or unsuccessfully) to change from a points stay to a paid stay upon checking in at the hotel? There have been more than one time that I have a points stay that I would prefer to change to a cash stay, but the room type I have is not available for purchase online. I was wondering if anyone has offered to change to a paid stay at the desk at check-in. I am not sure how this would necessarily work, but I am guessing that the hotel would get more from me in cash than they get from Hyatt if they wanted to allow it. Not sure how they would be set up to get me my points back in that scenario.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has experience with this.
