She wrote back and said a refund is not possible due the event at that time (that I am no longer going to). It's about 2 months away and the room was immediately rebooked.

I then emailed the hotel and they apologized for the mistake and reversed the charge.

Basically I've lost confidence in my concierge and won't use them much going forward. I'm sure this is a common complaint, but is there anything to do about it? Drop down to Explorist for a year and hope to get a different one after requalifying for Globalist?
What was the cancellation penalty included in th booking confirmation and what was the mistake the Hyatt apologised for?
