I have my doubts that the SLH stay will be booked in a way that gets you the elite night credit. But worst case scenario - assuming that WoH doesn't add your elite night later - is you take the money saved from your totally free night and just mattress run another Hyatt during your challenge.
It was only 6500 points so I would probably need to spend a bit more to mattress run it when I'm back in the US. It could still be net positive if I actually do a real weekend trip. But I hope I get a qualifying night since they said they'll attach my WOH number to the reservation.
