So the hotel uses the CRS system of the Chinese group instead of the system of Hyatt Group. When the Hyatt audit team wanted to investigate, it was unable to start because the hotel refused to provide data. So Hyatt Group simply closed the members who manually registered points in these hotels. Because of the different systems, it is difficult to automatically accumulate points to Hyatt, which is the reason for the current deadlock.
Even if the hotel group refuses to provide details, the guests could very well provide details such as air/train travel to those hotels, payments for hotel stays on their payment cards, something to support their were there during the dates, etc.
The fraud is on a massive scale. People are getting Globalists or LT status. That’s a lot of nights or money spent at a budget hotel.
If the account didn’t engage in fraud, I’m sure there’s some supporting document to prove otherwise
