How many Big Welcome Back Awards did you earn and how have you used them?
Thanks to Hyatt, I have visited many new destinations this year.
I earned 13 free nights (between me and my wife) and used them as follows:
Grand Hyatt NYC 1 night
Grand Hyatt Kauai 4 nights
Park Hyatt Paris Vendome 2 nights
Park Hyatt Vendome 2 nights
Park Hyatt Zurich 4 nights
I must acknowledge that Hyatt properties are really great and had a great time at all the properties. The staff, room and amenities are all exceptional. The customer service on the phone as well as here on flyertalk is amazing. Thank you Hyatt!!

I earned 4. Used two already but I am not having any luck on using the remaining two. I have tried to redeem for Grand HKG and all the Hyatt's in PVG but there is no availability. I guess I will try calling and see what they say.

I was supposed to have about 8 nights, but because of the BKK Hyatt closing in April, only earned 3. Had 1 earned in the previous promo. Used all this month in HKG.

Didn't do that well this time since the redemption period didn't work that well and an extension is unlikely.
Earned 7 - redeemed 1 at PH DC - 3 at Andaz West Hollywood (not a really good redemption but I had them) - 3 TBD (I guess if we don't use them anywhere, I'll use them locally to recover the 1W bonus at least).

Earned 5 - and will be using them all at the Hyatt Huntington Beach next week. While I have been a GP member for a while, I typically stayed at 1 or 2 Hyatts per year. Since becoming a member of FT, learned to spread my stays around to earn the maximum benefit. The stays carry over from SPG really allowed me to spread out my stays this year since SPG is my primary program.

0 and (the problem is compounded by) some properties/staff not recognizing my Diamond status. Nothing worse than having a res that confirms Diamond status a few weeks out and a basic room is "all we have". 10 years with HH and this happened once, less than one year with Hyatt and four times I feel like the average Joe.
