Without thinking too much (my SO was rushing me to dim sum), I booked the bed and breakfast rate After awhile, I remembered the great people here mentioned something like package rate may consider an ineligible rate despite shown on the hyatt.com. I quickly phoned the plat line and inquired the eligibility of my rate. The friendly agent stated the rate is eligible and just to be sure, I repeated it after her. I was happy then!
Today, after I checked out, I noticed all charges on my folio have the dread * next to it. So, I told myself what a dump fool I am. The whole point of this stay was to generate points and stay credit, which I obtained neither. Instead I am $150 poorer. The other kicker is the buffet breakfast was only so so. and I had to remind them to send me the breakfast coupon 4 hours after they promised it will be in the room "shortly".)
At this point, I am still hopeful that I’ll get the points and the stay credit!
Will contact GP next!

Thank for listening!
You should still get credit (both points and for FFN) for the actual hotel stay charges. I had a similar bill last month and received both. Sometimes, the restaurant in the hotel is owned by another company (with charges not Hyatt qualified).

Call CS, they'll clear this up for you quickly.
