but if you had to call and get them posted they would see that it was a different no to the one registered I would imagine.
other choice is open new account for son adn do the five stayes legitimately.

For the record I have not had problems over the years Hyatt posting miles to various programs based with whom they have good promos going on. All my Hyatt stays (mainly Hyatt Place) that I have decided to credit to UA have posted in about a month.
For sure I will credit five stays to AA.

Of course you can get the Diamond amenity as well even when you choose the AA miles. So if you have less than five Hyatt Place stays during this promotional period it probably makes sense to credit some mainline Hyatt's as well especially if they are not offering any G-bonuses.
I will credit my next five Hyatt Place stays to AA. I have been crediting them to UA due to the United Elite promo of 2500 UA miles per stay until sometime next year.

Uncross eyes, slap face, steady hands, pose question...
Kindly forgive my ignorance...okay, that's a lie, I can read...my incredulousness, but am I understanding this correctly in the following scenario?
I am currently a Diamond member signed up for FFN on BWB who has about a dozen upcoming [paid] reservations within the next 2.5 months. Of my next five reservations, only two have G bonuses totaling 2500 points.
If I sign up for this promo and indicate a preference of miles at these next five check-ins, I will: forfeit the 2500 G bonus points, but I will earn 2500 AA miles (5 stays x 500), an additional 25,000 AA bonus miles and I will STILL be able earn BWB FFN, base points and diamond amenities during these five stays. Could a Mod or Lurker please confirm this before I succumb to the giddy lack of oxygen?
Thanks in advance!

Looked long and hard and could not find the place to enter my preference for miles in lieu of points. Is this doable online, or do I have to indicate my preference at check in?

I'm sure AA25K will be done with a sweep - done a few hours after conversion - won't be a problem - but won't be in your Hyatt account details right away - it will show up.

You rang?
Choosing Hyatt points:
5 stays x diamond amenity
5 stays x base points for money spent
5 stays x any relevant Gx bonus
5 stays / 2 = 2 1/2 BWB nights
Choosing AA points
5 stays x diamond amenity
5 stays x 500 pt AA base miles
5 stays x 3000 AA bonus/stay
1 bonus of 10K AA miles
5 stays / 2 = 2 1/2 BWB nights
If you have more than 5 stays during the promo window, I would chose the ones to credit to AA that either have no Gx bonus or the lowest Gx bonus.
