Policy says:

Credit Card Deposit Required 1 NIGHT(S) DEPOSIT WILL BE CHARGED TO CREDIT CARD

Cancellation Policy
14days Prior/One Night Non-Refundable Deposit/Balance Due 14days Pr


I just sent a DM on Twitter also. I'm guessing I'll lose my 1 night deposit, abt $300, no matter when I cancel. Correct?
Yes, with this cancellation policy if you cancel then you’d be out the deposit.

Thanks. I'm hoping for a timeshare exchange to come through so I'll probably wait a couple more months before committing.

Hi all,

New Globalist and a question about my benefits when booking multiple rooms. I called the Globalist Line to book two rooms at the Manchester Hyatt Regency in the UK. One room for me and wife, one for brother and partner. Used points, but wasn't sure the best strategy so my brother can enjoy my benefits. I asked about booking his room as guest of honor so he'd get Globalist benefits, but agent said with both rooms under my name that his room would get my benefits as well. He said if for some reason they don't go along with that I can call the Globalist Line and they would add it while I'm at the front desk. So, figured I'd check if I got accurate info, or what I should do with this situation. Thanks!

I have had multiple stays with 3 rooms under my name and always received all benefits.
If you also pay for all rooms, you would get base points for both rooms, too. You may only get an upgrade to a standard suite for 1 room though, based on my recent experience. I have however used TSU for multiple rooms during the stay. Else breakfast, lounge access (if available), 4pm late checkout, etc is granted, too.

To the best of knowlege, your second rooms do not get globalist benefits per WOH rules and policies, but most properties will grant it and be lenient. Just don't be shocked when a Japanese Hyatt makes a straight face and throws a hard no on you.
You can use your otherwise useless club access for them, at least.

Thanks to you both. Should I just call Hyatt and ask to use my GOH benefits for my brother's room? Or do I need to call and cancel his reservation first and then rebook under his name with the GOH benefits? I'd really not like to have to hassle with it at the front desk and end up with them being stuck in the base room with no benefits. Would I be able to apply GOH benefits to the room at check in? Thanks!

you can call and have the the res changed to a GoH. My Concierge has told me before I can do so, just book myself on points, then call to have it switched to a GoH.

My concierge applied a suite upgrade to a reservation a few days ago, but when I check the upcoming reservations page, it still lists the basic room category. The "recent activity" tab shows that a suite upgrade has been redeemed. Is this normal and a quirk of the website or should I follow-up and make sure that the higher category room is in fact confirmed?

It is normal under certain circumstances. The hotel must have upgraded you internally instead of in the system, for some reason. Did you use points for the booking? And is the suite that you were upgraded into normally bookable based on your party size? Eg, my last TSU did not reflect the suite upgrade in the reservation because our party of 2 adults and 2 kids was not allowed in the suite (though the hotel was making an exception for us)

I am hesitant on booking any stays with Hyatt for my future trips in case Hyatt does any promotions in the near future. Would I be able to contact Hyatt if there was a promo to redeem any points/benefits for promos in the future if I had already booked?

It happened to us in March (cash booking); the system was showing the original room type. Enjoy your stay!

Does the unofficial free-night award after staying at 50 different properties still exist?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this. Is it discussed somewhere on FT?
