Hi All:
I joined Hyatt Gold Passport about 2 1/2 years ago and have stayed at Hyatt properties on 2-3 occasions since.
I am now in the process of putting up several people up in a nearby Hyatt Summerfield Suites for an upcoming wedding in our family. The rooms will be paid for by me and under my name. I was curious about what would be the best way for me to maximize the number of points earned when booking this property? I looked at the ongoing promotions but nothing really jumped out. I am also a United Mileage plus member (but not elite) so I'm not sure if that entitles me to any extra points. Any assistance you could provide would be most appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

Question about priceline stays and getting pts for incidentals. What about miles instead? I had a stay and they gladly added both my GP number and WN RR number. I got pts and not the credits I was hoping for. Should I call and ask about trading pts for credits or leave well enough alone?
Thanks,

Check out in person?
Hi! I've been doing a lot reading on the Hyatt site the last couple of weeks--thanks to everyone for the great info. I'm currently Gold, soon to be Plat, then I want to register for the diamond challenge (15 nights in 180 days). My belief is that you can't book phantom nights at Hyatt (i.e., find a cheap rate and never check in, but get the credit). My question is, if I book a good rate at a HP and check in, do I have to physically check out the next day? If I'm not at the property the next day, what would you recommend--would a phone call suffice? Does anyone else have experience doing this?

You don't even necessarily have to do this - once housekeeping checks on the room and find that you are no longer occupying it - the front desk will check you out. For Full-Service properties, you can also do Web-out (web checkout).

I would call to be safe. I had a recent stay where they showed me checking in and out on the same day for some odd reason so I had to call to get the stay posted correctly.
