Full points, cash & points, points upgrades are offered at hotel discretion and WoH pays far more to the hotel owner for these awards than the TSU. There’s nothing laughable about a hotel owner only offering base suite for de minimis TSU revenue and more suite types for greater revenue full points. i once got the presidential confirmed for standard suite full points at GH DFW because the GH DFW found the standard suite full points revenue sufficient. Hyatt surely didn’t have to give me the presidential for just a TSU.
It’s laughable to say that despite both being designated and sold as Standard Suites on revenue and points that it wouldn’t qualify as a Standard Suite for a TSU essentially saying “it’s not the right type of Standard Suite” which is ludicrous.
I never said the hotels get tons of revenue from TSU’s but it is revenue nevertheless. All revenue from WoH to hotels is dependent on occupancy, low occupancy less pay. Based on a recent Andaz stay where they accidentally sent me the WoH reimbursement receipt instead of my folio the Standard Suite via TSU was reimbursed at $30ish per night over 6 nights that’s $180. That’s not nothing and if the Suite otherwise went unsold they’d get $0 additional revenue. The rate of reimbursement is inconsequential but rather the designation as a Standard Suite is what’s vital. Hotels like Mission Pacific can attempt to skirt the rules and their contracts but in the end WoH can enforce it if you simply push forward.
