GP and Priceline
As it has been posted in many times before, you should receive your GP points for your Hyatt stay if you charge incidentals to your room. I did that on my last stay (also a Priceline prepaid-stay) and it worked perfect. Now I had a Priceline stay in Florida, charged incidentals to my room, but the stay wasnt posted to my account. Does anybody know whats wrong?
Thanx

Parking, restaurant, in room movies, gift shop charges etc are often not qualifying charges. These are often contracted out and do not qualifying as incidentals.
Phone charges, room service, honor bar charges are usually the best bets for qualifying charges.

Officially the answer is no stay credit for PL, but my experience has been the same as wildblue's.</font>

I think it is official policy that if you charge and pay for incidentals on a Priceline stay, you get stay credit. This advice has always been offered overtly to me by Hyatt representatives. I don't think we're "getting away with" anything here; rather, Hyatt has a generous policy, which does to some degree serve them well as it encourages extra spending on incidentals.

I know the GP C&Rs probably say something about Qualifing Rate, but I've never seen this enforced.
