I dont want to have to create a new thread.
I have the amex offer with the Hyatt ($200 get back $60). Anyone have experience splitting payments at checkout? I've used GC before without a problem and it seems they can do it with a CC.

If you try, it won't work. It's an error in the system, but it won't allow you to book it.

Correction - MGM Grand is NOT a Hyatt property. It is an Mlife property. Hyatt just has a partnership with Mlife that lets you match your status across and book through Hyatt website. This has nothing to do with how it will come through on your Amex card. I highly highly doubt that it will show anything having to do with Hyatt.

I appreciate the clarification, cdancer20.

Hi everyone,
I am a current Hyatt Diamond with expiring DSUs. A group of coworkers and I will be on a business trip early next year and staying at an Andaz. I have already booked my room and used one DSU. I was planning on making a second reservation for my coworker and applying another DSU for him/her.
My question is, for reimbursement reasons, would it be possible to change this second reservation to his/her name as the primary guest and keep the suite upgrade?
Also, would I have to use my own credit card or can my coworker use theirs?
Thank you!

Hi, I just Qualified for Diamond a few weeks back (My first time). I then got 4 DSU which expire in February. I have some stays coming up in April and the Hyatt Concierge (Twitter) said they could not hold the DSU upgrade on a room for after end of Feb as I have not gotten my 2016 ones yet. What is the best strategy? Should I just use the 6K point per night to hold the suite under my name and then go back and apply the DSU after March 1st? As they are on the way why can I not already book with one of the 2017 DSU's?
Thanks for your advice!

There will be a lot of people calling into HGP on March 1st to redeem DSUs.
