Sunshine on Sale rate + DSU?
Lots of resorts are advertising the Sunshine on Sale rates, where either your 3rd or 4th night are free (and there are probably other variations).
Has anyone successfully combined this rate with a DSU? I am 99% sure I have done this previously, but can't currently verify and would appreciate newer experiences. I realize that "by the book" Hyatt Daily Rate is required in order to use a DSU. In this case it is Hyatt Daily Rate for 2-3 days, with the promotion rebating either the 3rd or 4th night. Appreciate any intel. Thanks! |
I wonder about the source of this info. I've never paid the Hyatt Daily Rate ever ... and I've used a trainload of DSU's.

That's great to hear and correlates with my own sun-soaked, margarita-fueled experience (e.g., I can't specifically recall)
But I'm equally confident I have read that the DSU requirements involve paying at least the Hyatt Daily Rate for those nights. I would love to be told that I'm wrong and to STFU ;););) |

You might be thinking of paying extra points to get a suite, but I'm not sure of that stipulation. |
If you're using points to upgrade to a suite, it requires the Hyatt Daily Rate or higher. However you're using a DSU so this provision does not apply.
8. Hyatt Gold Passport upgrade awards may not be redeemed at all Hyatt hotel or resort locations. In order to redeem a Regency Club or Grand Club upgrade award or a Suite upgrade award at a Hyatt Resort property, member must pay a minimum of the Hyatt Daily Rate deluxe room (such as partial ocean view, ocean view, slope view, etc.). In order to redeem a Regency/Grand Club upgrade award or a Suite upgrade award at a non-resort property, member must pay a minimum of the Hyatt Daily Rate. There are a limited number of guest rooms available for Regency Club, Grand Club and Suite Upgrade awards. Suite upgrade awards are only valid for standard suites, defined as each participating property’s introductory suite category. Unless otherwise indicated, the point requirement for upgrade award is on a per night basis. Upgrade awards count toward the night for which the award was redeemed, regardless of the length of stay. Hyatt Gold Passport Regency Club or Grand Club upgrade awards are not valid at Hyatt Zilara or Hyatt Ziva resorts. Upgrade awards are not valid at M life resorts.

Hello Flyertalkers,
In order to use a Diamond Suite Upgrade, a guest simply has to be paying an eligible rate. So any rate that you would normally earn points and stay credit for can be used along with a Diamond Suite Upgrade. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks! |
That must have been the mixup, having used both routes to secure suites.
Thank you guys, self-imposed STFU in place :p :p :p |
And thanks for the ultra-fast response GP Concierge :D :D :D

In fact, DSUs can be used with points and cash rates (which also earn HGP points on the part paid with money), but not with award reservations (paid fully with points or AFAIK with free night certs). |
