In general, all points earned from a wedding or similar event are bonus points and don't count toward status or lifetime spend. Spend for guest room and incidental charges will earn base points as long as they are paid by the occupant and not billed to a master account for the event. Note also that 3rd party charges, such as florists or photographers, are typically not eligible charges for earning points even if the 3rd party was referred by the property.

How long does it take for 2 EQ nights on $5K spend on reg Hyatt card to post?
What charges on the Hyatt or Business Hyatt do not count towards EQN? And do travel gift cards work?

Hi all -
I just became a Globalist for the first time. And, like clockwork, a concierge reached out to me. I'm curious, do folks use the concierge for 'normal' bookings, and if so, what is the benefit.
(I can see using the concierge if I want to use a specific Free Night Award or similar)
Thanks in advance,
-HD

Others may have different experiences, but no value to us.
Cheers.

I contact my Concierge for Guest of Honor requests, as I have usually gone ahead and secured a room in my name and have them change it to my guest. I did initially use my Concierge for Suite upgrades, but found email was too slow with days going by and I feared that suite availability would disappear. I now contact the Globalist line to apply a suite upgrade.

BTW, on the app I used to see the phone number for the Concierge Line. Now, under contacts, I see chat, Twitter and messenger, but no phone number listed.

For all of the above, I just call from the app and get it sorted quickly rather than waiting for our specific concierge to respond. Just easier that way.

I am 1 night away from qualifying for Discoverist.
I do value both the premium internet and late checkout perk so I think I want to qualify.
I live in NY but I don't have any travels planned for the year. I think I have 2 options,
1. Book a hyatt in the city for one night.
2. Buy 300$ worth of Mr and Mrs Smith gift card from https://mrmrssmith.redeam.com/ and get get tier qualifying night.
I've never used Mr and Mrs Smith, but I think I can use the 300$ and their service for a future vacation. Night in the city feels wasteful.
Any suggestions?
