Any hints to get the Grand Hyatt DFW using Hotwire secret hotels?
Looking for a one night stay later this year at the Grand DFW. I'd like to use the Hotwire Secret Hotel " game" to reduce the rate.
Sometimes if a hotel is unique enough to the area there are subtle signs in the Hotwire description that point to a specific hotel. Any such known hints that people use for pinpointing the Grand DFW as the Hotwire hotel?
Thanks

Proper credit for 25th stay....
I had a NYE stay which would be my 25th and hence my diamond qualification. However the website/app has it improperly tasked to this year.
How can I get it against the proper time, and get my due Diamond status? If after the earlier status matches fiasco, and if they pull some nonsense on my one stay, I probably would be highly peeved, to say the least. Can I DM the GP rep on Flyertalk, for example?

Thanks ExpatSomchai - I did so to HyattConcierge, and they are forwarding it to GP Team. This is better performance than say, the Samsung promo I'm also currently dealing with. I just hope to get the diamond thing properly.

Quick question-- I made a reservation for 4 rooms x 4 nights each, but they made me put the 4th room under a different name I was only allowed 3 under my name.
It's all under 1 reservation number; will I get all of the points for the booking or for only the 3 rooms?

It's really subjective.
Points Guy does a monthly valuation of various FF currencies. Here's his December Valuation. I think his number may need to be adjusted down based on the Diamond twitter match fiasco.

Opening up points plus cash nights
Has anyone ever had luck getting a property to open up a night for points plus cash if the other nights they need have availability? In other words, getting a third night open on a 3 night stay if the other two have rooms available?

If your stay was multiple nights then, they will adjust it for sure.
