My husband is a Globalist and we are redeeming a "5-brand free night award" plus a Category 1-4 Promotion award he received when he hit 30 nights this year.
In looking at our reservation it shows the following:Additional Tax, Fees & Service Charges:CITY TAX: 10.00%CONF CTR FAC DST: 1.60%RESORT FEES: 27.90OCCUPANCY TAX: 2.00

It's certainly not a deal breaker, but in the past I don't remember him being charged a resort fee for award nights. Is he being charged because these are "promotional" awards?

Apologies if this question has been previously asked and answered in this Forum, but I have searched in vain for the last 30+ minutes with no luck.

Oh, and resort fees at Marriott. One of the two big holes in the MR program.

OP and t&c states "Redemption of a Category 1-7 Free Night Award is subject to standard-room availability at the selected hotel...". Why (like one reported upthread about PH NYC) would 30K awards be available but not free nights. Case in question PH Paris January 2018.

Hyatt's customer service during US night-time is not good. Was told that a member discount rate from the website is not eligible for application of suite upgrade. However, the member discount rate published on the website is, as far as I know, an "Eligible Rate." Will try again in the morning when US agents are available. Spotty customer service is the biggest turn off and begs the question, "Is loyalty worth it?"

I imagine the phone support people could do the same thing, and I imagine that both could manually redeem the certificate without first booking the room on points.

Just tried to use one or two of my cat. 7 free night awards at the PHNY and, even though award nights are available for 30K per night, and the standard cash rate is available at $575-, the Glob line told me that I can't use any of my free nights during an upcoming stay-this after contacting the property.
I cancelled my reservations and am moving elsewhere.
I guess I am going to have 4 TSUs and 2 free nights expire worthless this year.
Really love this program!

I just got an email saying my free night posted, even though I've only stayed 55 nights. Apologies if this was discussed elsewhere and I missed it...
Are there any benefits unique to 60 nights if you were globalist during the prior year?

if you qualified for Globalist tier for 2018, then the 55 nights suffice to requalify for 2019, i.e. thru Feb 2020. no additional Globalist benefits at 60 nights. you get the 4 TSU at 55 nights as well.

What is the expiration date of your free night ? Is it exactly 6 months from the email/post date or is it slightly longer, such as until the end of the month ? I'm hoping to use mine for a stay toward the end of June next year, and I don't want to re-qualify too early.
