Multi stays @ separate hotels on same night
 

OK, Here’s what I’m thinking…reserve and physically check-in i.e. mess-up the bed at two separate Hyatt Place hotels, on the same day, which are located approximately five miles from each other, but only sleep in one. Will I get credit for two different stays, despite them occurring on the same calendar day? I’m only in the area for a one day at a time, but the prices are so cheap that the economics make sense for doing a mattress run.
You advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hai FamilyMan,
You cannot get stay credit in 2 different properties at the same time. My suggestion: if you are doing mattress run, you may do Property A - B -A which is legal and hence, eligible for the credit stay and/ points. Hope it helps ;)

If you are in the region for only a day check into the second hotel on your way out of the town. You will save yourself a lot of headaches.

Yeah, that's also a very very good idea!

You can if the stays don't precisely coincide, eg:

Checkin to property A from Mon-Wed.

Checkin to property B from Tue-Wed.

I have received stay credit for stays that over lap. I usually stay at the Irvine Hyatt for extended periods. Sometimes I want to run down to San Diego for the weekend so I'll grab a Hyatt for a night or two down there without packing up and checking out. You can get credit for both. However, you will have to call customer service because the first stay to post "blocks" the other from posting. A quick call to customer service gets it posted though.

Yeah, but that might not be so easy with two properties that are 5 miles apart from one another. I can hear the conversation now... "Yeah, I really needed a break so I drove down the street to the Summerfield Suites." :-)

I guess I dont get it - why would Hyatt really care if you're staying two places or not. Its all revenue to them; if you're interested in mattress runs, you're going to hit your goal one way or the other.
