Got one of those a little while back even though I already had another stay booked in my account. Was nice, and I already booked a seperate 3 night stay to use up the free night I earned, so it was smart business.

Cancelling two upcoming stays that were already booked. I hate these marketing "games." Seriously - why not offer a free night to people who have gone above and beyond stays required to achieve Diamond? I understand the logic and reason behind these and the encouragement for new business but I don't understand why companies think it's OK to not appreciate business from people who consistently give them business. Then again, I'm not a Director of marketing either

Considering that my Diamond S/O earned 14 free nights from Hyatt already this year, I'm not going to begrudge m3m3m3 one night.
