That thread is rather thin and I would wager is rather incomplete on the list of states where this is an issue. On top of your four states, I have never received points for alcohol drink sales at Hyatts in the states of Minnesota, Texas, Florida or Georgia either. In Louisiana, I only recieve points at the HP downtown when I transfer bills from the HR restuarants (and this seems rather like a fluke, I hope in a few weeks it still works; alcohol sales within the HP itself don't count). The only properties where I have been recently where I have actually gotten points for my drinks are HR Tulsa OK and HR Lake Tahoe NV.

It definitely appears to be a YMMV situation. I haven't had many incidentals at US properties as I generally don't stay there but I have had no problem with alcohol being credited at HPs overseas. Additionally the T&Cs are incredibly vague: "Points will not be awarded on alcoholic beverage purchases in certain jurisdictions/countries or at certain properties." The wording does seem to indicate the restrictions aren't widespread but it would be nice to have something more concrete.

I have a question about my spouse checking in.

We are staying at the Driskill in Austin, TX in 10 days. The room is booked in my name only via a Points only reservation. (20k I believe for one night). Due to scheduling and work, we are flying in separately. My wife lands at 1:00pm and I will not arrive until 10:30-11:00pm. While I am quite certain she could kill the entire afternoon in the spa, I am wondering if she will have any issues checking in - especially if my flight is delayed.

Married 17 years now so same last name, mailing address, etc. on passports and drivers licenses. Just curious what this groups thoughts are and/or any advice? can I call to add her name to the reservation even though it is under my account? or will they not even care as last names/addresses etc are all the same. -again points only res.

You (and your spouse) will have no problem as long as you make sure her name is on the reservation before she arrives. I have done this several hundred times, and have never had a problem. Call the Driskill, or Hyatt CS, and have them add her name and you'll be good to go. Points/award stay has no bearing on this; it's just a method of payment.

Anyone know what happens if a new hotel is scheduled to open and you have a reservation, but the hotel doesn't open on time? Especially when there are other Hyatts in the area? I've got a couple of reservations at a hotel scheduled to open early next year and when I booked it was showing up in search results. Now all search results for that hotel on any date, even months after planned opening, all say "Coming Soon". The other hotel scheduled to open at the same time right next door (HP and HH combo development), doesn't have this issue. I'm hoping they would just place me at one of the other Hyatts in the area at my confirmed rate

Thank you SportsTech. I just added my wife to the reservation with no questions asked by Hyatt customer Service rep.. if there is an issue next weekend I'll post an update. Otherwise we should all consider your advice Spot-On. Thanks again.

Hi All!

I am looking for a cheap way of getting some more points for award nights next year... Unfortunately, I've missed recent WoH bonus offer for buying points in August.

Does anyone know if there will be another bonus offer by end of this year?

Thanks for your help!

Looking online here and I cannot get a confirmation here hope someone can help

Work switched to Concur/Amex GBT recently and I have had issues getting points/status recognized at SPG properties. I have always had to submit a missing stay request

I was looking to do some bookings with Hyatt since I am not too happy with the SPG/Marriott (attempted) integration, has anyone had any issues with points from Concur/Amex GBT posting from Hyatt stays?

Gioventu

I am having existing bookings under my WoH account for end of the year. Now I wanna add another room for my mother in law...

If I simply book another room under my WoH account now but someone else uses that room do I also get the WoH points for the second room?

Unfortunately I couldn't find the option to just add another room to my existing booking. Does this way actually exist?

yes, if under your name and you pay, you will get the points. but not night credit.
you get points for max 3 rooms.

no. you cannot add another room to an existing reservation.
but separate bookings in your name is no problem. i have done that very often.

I think it is noteworthy to remind 2018 Globalists who qualified from Hyatt Gold Passport Diamond via a year-end promotion will have to stay 60 nights to re-qualify for 2019, not 55.

The re-qualification rules define that 55 nights is the threshold for Globalists who stayed 60 nights the year prior! I'm pretty good at picking up the fine print, but almost missed this one.

Just spoke with a World of Hyatt manager over the phone to emphasize that this clause may have been missed by many current Globalists who re-qualified under the year-end promotion last year, when Hyatt doubled the top-tier qualification.

Looking for recent answer on point & night credit for a reservation with two rooms. For example, I have a reservation for a two nights stay including two rooms under my name. Do I get points for both rooms and both nights? Thanks in advance.
