I'm planning to book a points stay (with insufficient points) for a year from now with a suite upgrade.
I'm not sure how long I'll want to stay. I'm thinking about booking a 7 night stay and then shortening it closer to the travel date.
Is it generally possible to shorten a points stay (with a suite upgrade)?

I had a stay a couple of weeks ago at the Centric Loop Chicago, and they offered 500 points/day in lieu of breakfast benefit, and said they'd post during the stay, but they didn't. Toward the end of the stay I queried it, and they checked and said it hadn't been put in, but they'd do so now, and add some extra points to compensate for the trouble.
Perhaps inevitably two weeks later I still don't have any points. What's the best way to follow up on this - phoning the hotel, phoning Hyatt, or maybe twitter?

Hyatt Twitter can give you the hotel email details if you don’t already have them.

Is it just me or is it really difficult to redeem hyatt points in europe? Every property I look at won't accept award points on my dates but they sure as heck will take cash.

No more difficult than anywhere else. It’s usually easier to redeem in Europe vs many of the US properties playing games with minimum stays, etc.

If you can book it in your spouse's name then you should receive Glob benefits. I have booked under someone else's name using points but never a FNC, but there are reports that you can do so. Just reach out to CS.
