Are leverage rates the same for everyone using a leverage rate code? Are the properties themselves determining the rate? Etc. I'm curious whether it's worth mentioning to the properties I frequent. Or maybe I'm just not using it enough and Hyatt is squeezing me out of the program?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
These are not personalized so everyone should be seeing the same rate at the same hotel for the same night.
If you frequent a specific hotel, you can negotiate with them on a specific rate.
I’ve noticed more hotels with advanced purchase rates that are similar to or lower than Leverage rates but it is still in general the lowest non prepaid rate.
