Most reports indicate THC bookings posting EQN. However, some THC bookings are made through Expedia, which is 3rd party booking and doesn't qualify for EQN.

I was able to add the Hyatt Regency SF SoMa reservation to my Hyatt profile. The credit card listed is a different one than I paid and "EXPEDIA VIRTUAL CARD WILL BECHECK-IN" was added to the reservation notes.

I queried Chatgpt and it told me the note is a "red flag if you’re hoping to earn Hyatt elite qualifying nights (EQNs) or points. It indicates that Amex Travel (The Hotel Collection) is paying the hotel using a virtual credit card issued through Expedia...So, to Hyatt, this looks exactly like an Expedia booking, not a Hyatt-direct booking...Consequences: No World of Hyatt points or EQNs...Globalist benefits are discretionary."

Any advice other than booking as "Pay at check-in" and hoping for the best?
