Good for you.
Is it policy to waive on paid stays? Priceline bookings? Hyatt Lake Tahoe looks great on PL if the resort fee vanishes.

For Globs, from https://world.hyatt.com/content/gp/e...globalist.html
Forget the resort fees
Enjoy waived resort fees on free night awards and eligible rates.
Or in more detail, from the T&C:

good to hear I have gotten suite upgrades since the first of the year and it continues! The suite upgrade (4) is usable with awards I just confirmed a suite at the Churchill in London for Christmas.

Despite my advance confirmation with the Assistant Manager, the resort fee showed up on my folio at the Grand Hyatt Kauai and I got pushback from the front desk agent when I asked her to waive it. I am sure this will be resolved in my favor, bit it is still annoying.

There are probably a ton of Globalists who just aren't aware of this change, so the properties just collect fees as they can. Just look at how much confusion there is about what rules apply to what type of reservation here on FT.

PL and third party bookings have no lounge access, no upgrades, and pay the resort fee. I lucked out with a great front desk manager that explained the new policy. Exception made for this stay....in my favor. This is Incline Village.
