Park Hyatt New York Promotional Rate?
When I log on to book at the Park Hyatt NYC for tonight (searching by rewards points), I see a promotional rate that the hotel is free. Does anyone have any background about this promotion? I went ahead and booked and it didn't charge me any awards points which I thought was kind of cool.

I believe that you are using a category 1-7 award night for this booking. If you have one of these it will show up if you are looking at a one night booking but won't appear as an option of you are looking at booking more than one night.

there was a free night awarded to Globs when the switch happened back in March. That is probably what it is given ur friend does not have a Hyatt CC.

Are we absolutely certain this is not a random property-specific free night? I have a colleague who has mentioned randomly getting these free nights popping up when making reservations (anywhere from properties in Seoul to domestic) over the last 2 years and I have to admit, I'm incredibly jealous. I kept telling myself he must be mistaking the Cat 1-4 (or 1-4) nights banked in his account for random luck but it has happened so frequently (and now with this post) I'm starting to wonder if he was right after all?

The only way I could see it being 'pretty obviously' a CAT award is if the person checked their Awards page before and after booking and was the CAT award disappear.

the same could apply to your statement... it clearly is not obvious from the listing, and is also unconfirmed by the OP. OP, if you do book, please let us know if your cat free night listing is depleted accordingly.
