And commenting here as a regular member (not as a co-moderator), perhaps we should not make a nuisance of ourselves asking about various unpublished benefits like extensions of redemption period so far in advance (we're only about 1/2 way through the long current redemption period). Hyatt has been very good to us, by allowing many of these unpublished benefits which are extremely generous. Let's not abuse their generosity by asking for these extras until its closer to the time.
