Any other data points on whether the timeshare offer of 5 nights at $1495 counts as a "qualifying stay"? I know it shouldn't, but in the past it seems has for some folks.
Wondering if I need to have 1 stay before my 5 night stay starts for the "double the points" promo.

We just called to check some availability & asked if we would get HGP stay/night credit and the agent said absolutely not, only points and the bonus points that come with the promotion. He said since there's already such a discount on the room rates they can't give the stay/night credit. My husband asked if there was anyone he could talk to about flexibility on this & the agent insisted there's no flexibility.
Are you positive you got stay/night credit for your stay(s) on these offers, and not just the points for them? If you did, maybe you got lucky, unless someone else chimes in that they got the credit too.

We had a great stay using the 5-night promotion. Really a lovely property and very well-appointed rooms. One thing I appreciated about the resort is that all the chairs weren't "reserved" by 7AM like they were at the Hyatt Regency next door. (No lie - ALL of the potentially shady chairs and all of the poolside chairs had towels & books on them by 7AM). Even though there are reciprocal pool privileges, somehow the chair saving didn't extend to the Residence Club.
One day we rented a platform beachfront cabana for $200 - IIRC, the cabanas at the Grand Wailea were $350 so it seemed like a bargain.
The presentation was very easy; we told the salesperson that we were not buyers. She was pleasant and we were out in less than 50 minutes. The bonus points posted before we got home!
We got stay and night credit, and points for the entire stay as well. The bill looked just like a regular hotel bill, with the prepayment showing as an adjustment before final settlement to the Chase Hyatt Visa.

I'm going full circle here.
Rather than the $99 offer I had on the first page of this thread, I'm now confirmed here at over $1000/night over Thanksgiving. Yes, this is about 60x of that other rate! Long story, but we had Cabo plans, and we decided it was unwise. So, relatively last minute for T-giving, this is a top option for us.
Question is, can I assume that my nights and spend will count for WoH? I booked on the Hyatt website, not doing a timeshare spiel or anything, no notes to the contrary anywhere in the reservation. But my trust in Hyatt is just a bit diminished since WoH.
I'm pretty sure it'll all qualify, but if anyone has stayed here on a regular non-timeshare promo rate recently, I'm eager to hear your details.

We had a 1 br with two adult kids sharing the queen pullout - with a great memory foam mattress. So I think u will be fine.

Would they give me any grief at say the pool for having too many people in my room? I've been to a hyatt where they gave you a specific number of wristbands to get in the pool...

I wouldn't worry about a wristband here, its pretty low key. I have used the pool before while staying next door at the Hyatt and never had a wristband.

Received a recent offer, ended up being $1128.50 including all taxes and fees for 5 nights in 2 bedroom. It was excellent timing as we had booked GH Kauai for 5 nights at end of Asia summer trip and decided to switch to Maui with this offer. Easy to book, exact dates I wanted available in Mid-July and they were kind enough to stay on hold before I finalized package while I called airline to change our flights to depart from OGG instead of LIH.
This is will be our 3rd time at this property - each time using an offer like this.
