G bonuses as we know them are never coming back. HGP already announced a refresh of elite benefits, and this is the second points-for-nights promo since G bonuses evaporated. If they were coming back, we would have heard about it by now.

HGP didn't like the G bonuses because their own IT systems were notoriously unreliable. This means that rather than promoting loyalty, they rewarded persistence. They gave Hyatt a bad reputation because customers frequently did everything right and still weren't awarded G-bonus points. Rather than fix the problem, HGP is moving towards cumulative "points for nights" bonuses to drive up overall occupancy over a period of time. Points-for-stays bonuses tend to encourage hotel-hopping and don't provide enough incentive to sway travellers who are booking 3-5+ day stays at a time from booking at cheaper competitors.

Is there any Hyatt CC incentive like last time? Extra points for having the CC? This is overall a pretty terrible promo.

I would not necessarily think this Hyatt offer should preclude a FFN offer. Announcing a FFN offer later and having this promo running simultaneously would be excellent. If this turns out to be the only Hyatt offer, then it will be disappointing.

Perhaps there will be a more exciting offer for December and January.

I'm on a trial offer and will get 10k from this. But thus far, I SPG is winning by a mile. Though, as I am new to both, and I see a lot of Hyatt love even in the SPG threads, I am interested to experience the rest of my trail to see how I am treated as a Diamond.

Heck, at least go with 2k/night. They are shaving off .33k a night after the economy appears to have declined, a low cap, and a small 2 month window?!?!?!?!

If Hyatt did this, they would obliterate all the complaints and gripes that people have had this year. Any complaint after that would be baseless garbage, as that would be a rocking promo and would crush its rivals.

Sadly, I think the chances of such a thing, based on recent short-medium term Hyatt action is less than 0.

Been contemplating looking into a status match for SPG...

That would be nice but I won't expect it.

If some speculation around here is correct and Hyatt wants to weed out their Diamonds, then I don't see them giving any reason for people to make a last minute run at extending their status for another year.

I agree with you that they should have at least one FFN every year while it should for all Hyatt members, not just credit card holders.

Going to sell my Hyatt gift cards and certs. I don't care about qualifying for next year's diamond any more.

I think the COSTCO promo ends 09/06/2011, before this one even starts.

Hiahia, I agree with you that Hyatt should not be excited about it.
