How weird. It looks like you copied the above quote from the AMEX $50 Gift Card promo that came out today. The weird thing is that when I looked at the T&Cs earlier today, the word "Expedia" in your quote was actually "Travelzoo". So sometime between this morning and right now, Hyatt changed the wording on the website T&Cs. I noticed it because I thought it was nice that Hyatt FINALLY listed Travelzoo as an ineligible rate even though it could be booked on hyatt.com. That was a step in the right direction I thought. I was going to post it here, but I didn't get around to it. Now the word has changed from "Travelzoo" to "Expedia". Oh well.

Regardless, it still bothers me that you can book a Travelzoo rate on hyatt.com but not get GP points/credit for the stay. That is very misleading. I don't so much have a problem with an Expedia/Travelocity/etc or other 3rd party booking where you are physically booking the stay on another site. That is very easy to comprehend that you wouldn't get GP credit for that stay. However when the rate is bookable on hyatt.com and still doesn't get GP credit, well................Houston, we have a problem.........
