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.
I think it’s property specific. Sometimes my leverage rate is much higher than member rates and sometimes much cheaper. Leverage rates isn’t a guarantee it’s going to be the lowest cost, and sometimes properties don’t offer leverage rates at all.
