There is a dedicated thread to VIP codes with explanations.

V1 is also used for Courtesy Card, at least based on personal experience. Makes that code a little less exclusive ;)

Correct. Back then Courtesy Cards were only hotel owners and those they invited. It was far more exclusive then.

So it's fair to say that you don't really know what a V1 stands for anymore, ne?

Bumping this thread, as experiences are pre-WoH.

any recent experiences? Still the same?

I seen my rating (V3) twice since WOH. Once on a pre arrival sheet the GM had in his hand during a check at PH in 2020 and one on a housekeeping sheet in 2017 or 18. I’ve been a globalist or whatever for seven or eight years. I assume that’s the standard globalist rating since I’m by no means a high value client. I spend what I consider a decent amount yearly with Hyatt, but I’m still 700k points or so away from lifetime globalist!

I spend upwards of $300k on the WOH credit card, which gives me Globalist and a ton of night credits, but less than $10k on actual room rates etc.

I'm not a high value client (maybe high value to Chase) even though I rack up 100+ nights a year between credit card spend and actual nights spent at hotels.

Does anyone if V codes have recently mapped into new codes? Like V3->GB. V2->CC

Not recently, but yes.

That’s interesting that there’s an internal rating- I remember a couple of years ago when I checked in to the Hyatt House at Vanderbilt, the person checking me in mentioned “oh you’re the big shot top status member aren’t you!”, and then upgraded me to a great suite. But I was extremely confused as I must’ve only had Discoverist via credit card at the time, and it was a points stay. I do tend to get better upgrades with Hyatt with my lowly Discoverist but I thought was just due to timing (much better upgrades than Marriott where I’m Platinum). I’ve gotten upgraded to the 2BR suite at the Park City Hyatt Centric a couple of years ago during a weekday stay, and to a suite at the Waikiki Hyatt Centric (but it was during COVID). I wonder if my internal rating is somehow V1 or V2 ;)

On the breakfast sheet one morning, I recently saw the VIP list for each room and saw codes I've never seen/thought existed. I saw V16 for one guest. Any idea what that would be?
