first time at a Hyatt. I am not sure about breakfast for WOH members, so maybe the lounge offers breakfast? Says a lot about first world problems, doesn't it?

I did not know that, so many thanks for enlightening me. It makes sense. Now I have to figure out if lounge access at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo is worth an additional 5000 points per night. This is my

If I book a standard room for cash what is the cost in points per night to upgrade to a suite?
I dont trust the Hyatt reps on the phone. The ones I get typically dont seem to knowledgeable about these things. You have to repeat things 5 times.
Thanks

I have a question.
i have a prepaid reservation through November 30 and another reservation at the same property November 30+
I am currently at 35 Hyatt nights but still a discoverist (Hyatt cannot upgrade me until after check out). The Nov 30 + reservation is for two weeks, so the explorist room upgrade and lounge access would be nice.
Hypothetically, if I checked out November 27 and returned on the 30th- if the stay does not post automatically in those 72 hours, would Hyatt manually add the stay to my account by Nov 30 check in? I don’t need to be here nov27-30 so just trying to leverage my new status.. thanks

I'd reach out to WoH central first, explanation the situation and see if they can / will do anything. Back when I was just starting up with Hyatt, they noted a pending change in status (platinum under hyatt gold passport) on a reservation for me while I waited for it to post from getting the Hyatt credit card. I got a minor room bump, free internet, etc.
I'd also reach out the property and explain the situation. They may be willing to accommodate you, especially given how long you're staying there. Again, before I had status, one property comp'd me lounge access as a courtesy. Or they may be willing to extend you access and pull the cert later during the stay when it arrives in your account.

I will be staying at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo in the spring. I'm planning to book three nights with points, and one night with the free night cert that comes with 30-night explorist status. If I combine those nights into one booking, can I use the Explorist club upgrade for all four nights? Normally the terms don't allow use of the club upgrade on free night awards...

I have Explorist Club Upgrades I want to use (Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro) and a Cat 1-4 free night. But my understanding is that if I book four nights at this hotel for example, and one of the nights is a free night certificate, I can't use a Clup Upgrade, correct? Wonder if the Club Upgrade is even worth it then.

Have any folks here subsidized or taken subsidies for stays under another individuals account?
If so, who ends up paying in the end, is the guest expected to place his or her card down before or during check-in? And what are typical subsidies (costs/payments per night) you have seen in the market?
Thanks!

“The Vault is currently Unavailable”
I was just placing a reservation with points, and got this message, when I hit proceed to payment. “The Vault is currently Unavailable.” I have never seen that before. Hope there’s not a problem.
