WOH Globalist - Complimentary Parking on Award Stays (List)
Starting 3/1/17, Globalists will receive complimentary parking on free night awards at participating Hyatt hotels and resorts with parking that can be charged to the guest's room.
I thought it makes sense to start tracking theses changes in parking policy if known prior to 3/1/17 and especially prospectively:
Hyatt Centric The Pike Long Beach
Historically, the hotel provided an overnight guest a parking voucher to use for parking structure next door for the maximum parking rate and charges it to the room.
In January of 2017, the hotel has changed its policy to provide a small credit against the maximum parking rate and now does not permit it to be charged to the room. IMO this was a move to minimize the cost of complimentary parking on free night awards for the upcoming award stays for Globalists from 3/1/17 on forward.

It may be harder for them to wiggle out of valet parking, since that is always billed to the room. It won't surprise me, however, to see some hotels set up a POS outside by the valet desk and have you start swiping your credit card when you drop your car off on the first day!

As someone previously pointed out, this can be a real benefit in major cities, such as NYC, where I have a four night award stay at the PH booked for mid-summer.

In fact, I'm having a hard time thinking of a Hyatt where I'm likely to do an award stay and either drive or have a rental car. Most of the time it's pointless to have a car in a big city. I say this as someone who is willing to drive in even foreign cities. In fact, I've done so in Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, etc. although I've never driven in Asia, Latin America, Australia, etc.

I have had recent stays at HR's in Greenville, SC and Phoenix. In both cases the parking decks are owned by a local municipal authority, but the charges were billed directly to my room . My reading of the WOH T&C's is that effective 3/1/17, parking charges would be waived for Globalist's on award stays.

How many people have a car in NYC on an award stay?

This thread jumped the gun since it's going to be speculation for a month and a half then people have to read through all that junk to get to the real information.
