Just got this in email - I'm a Diamond member and haven't had a stay since July:

I think there have been previous reports of such targeted promos. Did you have any future bookings?

I got one too... very nice!! Diamond but haven't stayed in a Hyatt since April. As per my other thread, need 5 more stays to requalify as diamond for next year, but I hadn't booked my stays yet.

Will MR in a cheap Chicagoland Hyatt and then use my free night for the Park Hyatt downtown for our anniversary. Wish I could use the free night on our upcoming London/Brussels/Brugge trip, but London was booked a long time ago using Hilton points before the devaluation, and no Hyatts in Belgium.

One question though - how can you complete a stay by Dec. 3 but only use your night until Nov. 30????

I was wondering that also. I also recieved an e-mail offer today. I do already have an upcoming reservation. Oh well can't complain, free night!

I wouldn't worry about it. I had a similar offer which also said I had to use up the free night by Nov 30 2010. When I actually completed the required stay, the free night was awarded with an expiration date of Jan 31, 2011 ^. So enjoy!

mel14

That's good, however, this may be a stupid question. Do I have to call and book a new reservation and mention this offer or can I just count that this will work with my existing upcoming reservation.

africansky

you don't need to do anything in particular. it's all in the system.

Thanks!!!!!!

They call it "trigger email", and yes, the promo night posts pretty quick and can be seen under promotional awards and under "Welcome Back Free Night Award " online (mine says expiring Jan 31, 2011 although the email mentioned Nov 30 too).

Dang! I guess I shouldn't stay at Hyatt so often. . .

Got the email last week. I haven't stayed since July either. Renewed my platinum status and have been concentrating on renewing Hilton plat since.

My next husband better be a Hyatt diamond member!

Just got this offer the day after I checked into a Hyatt after a 3 month hiatus, lucky!
