When I redeem the GC in future M&MS stays, I will neither earn points nor will the nights paid using the GC be a qualifying night. I guess the additional question here is what if the nights are partially paid by GCs..
Separately, I assume reservations made through M&MS directly with cash should count as qualifying nights for WOH?
TIA
My guess is that reservations made through the M&MS web site do not, and never will, earn qualifying nights or Hyatt points, regardless of the method of payment. And I guess that once it is possible to book M&MS hotels via the Hyatt web site, those bookings will earn qualifying nights and Hyatt points.
I see the current way of selling the gift cards with the additional EQN and points as a bridge to allow stays in M&MS hotels to indirectly earn Hyatt points and EQN benefits.
