Thanks for the tip to see what Hyatt's count is of my points. They say 1,262,178 lifetime points but only 244,178 base points (I know 135,000 were from 1998 alone). I have received a lot of bonuses in my day. I think about 200k were from the pre-WOH credit card days when you could buy Hyatt gift certificates (on embossed paper sent via FedEx) and get 5 bonus Gold Passport points per $, plus the base points you received when you used them.

My personal Hyatt spreadsheet that I started in the mid 1990's has my lifetime base points at 244,198 but I don't think I'm going to try to argue the 20 point discrepancy.
