Platinum Comp Question
Hello...received a letter from Hyatt that offered a comp to Plat status until February 2005 if I stay at a Hyatt 2 times before December 15.
I already have a stay scheduled in Dallas for a conference this November.
Will be travelling to Seattle and using GP points for three nights at the Park Hyatt in early-December.
Question is this: If I *pay* for a 4th night at the Park Hyatt, would that count as a "stay", since I have already been there for three nights on GP award?
Also, does anyone know if Priceline stays would count as a "stay"? Nowhere does it say anything about a 'qualified rate' or Priceline not qualifying.

Im guessing you mean the Elliott Grand Hyatt; there is not a Park Hyatt in Seattle. You dont need to stay any extra nights. If you have Qualifying incidental charges to your room on an award or Priceline stay, you will get a stay credit. A phone call will work, but parking at the Elliott will not since it is contracted out. Also have dinner at the hotels restaurant, 727 Pine, it is very good.
