One thing is to have two separate accounts. Which is dubious but, as you say, frankly who cares. People forget passwords, need to separate work stays from pleasure etc.

But to check into a hotel with two separate reservations and claim to be two separate people with two separate Hyatt accounts... You're asking for trouble...

I just finished a 3 night stay with two rooms booked under my account. I got points for both rooms but only night credit and the Q1 bonus for 1 room. Do you think I should contact Hyatt for the Q1 bonus for the other room or do not even bother?

As per the T&C you only get the bonus for the room the member is occupying:

You must be a World of Hyatt member and register for the promotion between February 15, 2018 and March 31, 2018. Register at worldofhyatt.com/morepoints or by calling your nearest Global Contact Center. To join, visit World of Hyatttoday. All eligible nights under this promotion must have a checkout date from February 15, 2018 through May 15, 2018 (“Promotion Period”). You will receive 1,000 Bonus Points for each eligible night at Park Hyatt, Miraval, Andaz, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Centric, Hyatt Regency, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Residence Club and participating MGM properties and 500 Bonus Points for each eligible night at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties during the Promotion Period. A maximum of 25,000 Bonus Points may be earned per member under this promotion, regardless of the number of nights completed during the Promotion Period. All points awarded under this promotion are Bonus Points. For the purpose of this promotion, an “Eligible Night” is defined as any night where a member is paying an Eligible Rate or redeems a free night award for at least one night of their stay.

Or just have one room under you and make a new account for who you're travelling with. Then transfer points over when done.

Since Hyatt pretty much sh*ts on their customers and GP members for the last 3 years I don't see myself bound to respect them anymore. They are the ones who constantly tweak the rules and make life difficult for people so I also started taking the gloves off. Of course everyone can take and handle that however he pleases. My balance is almost consistently zero so nothing to lose.

As far as the OP or anyone in his situation goes why not open an account for the second person then and transfer the points out after. Perfectly by the book. You wouldnt get double stay credit anyway, it's all about the bonus points.

Right. And this is a good example of why Hyatt, and other companies, change their programs.....because 'guests' end up gaming the system

Or the companies get selfish. People are going to try to game the system wherever they go, regardless of brand. The question becomes at what level do you draw the line and accept gamers because you want their business.

IMO Hyatt screwed themselves. Silly names aside, yes they did ramp up benefits but they failed to see that by changing the qualification rules they differ by Hilton/IHG/Marriott/SPG in one key area - coverage.

While this promo is nice, it still pales compared to the current Hilton promo where you can get up to 4K/night bonus points. This promo essentially gets most of us back to the Diamond Amenity days - however coverage is still an issue. While I travel a lot for work, I'm still very limited to places I travel that have a GH or HR of any kind. I'm not going to stay at a HP or HH where this bonus gives me peanuts vs where I can stay at a Hampton Inn and get 4K/night bonus. Or IHG, I am averaging maybe 5K/night bonus with accelerate.

I'm sure some Hyatt loyalists will tell me to go elsewhere and let them enjoy their benefits - go ahead cause I'm already doing that. Hyatt has some fantastic properties and they do a lot of things right, but promos and elite program isn't a strength for them and hence they have a lost a lot of customers such as myself.

1. The coverage thing is somewhat true - but 700 hotels doesn't make Hyatts that rare.

2. So, to clarify, you really do just chase the points from one promo to the next?? On OTM? That's fine if you do. It's just from my perspective, it's better to pool stays at whatever hotel offers the best product regardless of 20$ worth of points.

I'm a promo chaser...as long as I have a goal/purpose for that specific chain. For example I'm chasing the IHG accelerate for the 2nd time ever...it will net me enough for the 3 roadside stays I need on our spring break road trip and two nights at the Intercontinental in Dubai.
Once I finish that promo on Sunday night, I'm headed over to SPG/Marriott to top off my account for 10 nights in Seychellesl Hyatt is in my rear view mirror now because of their changes.

You obviously don't quite understand the difference in value between Hilton points and Hyatt points. 4K per stay with Hilton - assuming you are doing multiples of 5 stays - yet you need 50-95K to get a free night anywhere decent.

1K per night with Hyatt, yet you need 12-25K for a decent free night, 30K for the very top end.

"Pales in comparison"... exactly... you reach a free night much faster with Hyatt, unless you are hotel hopping every night in a desperate attempt to generate Hilton stays.

Will you get the 500 bonus points for this promo if you choose AA miles to get the 500miles + 1000 miles in that promo?

No, as the More Points bonus terms require people to choose Hyatt points to get the More Points bonus. But you can get the More Points and the 1,000 AA miles, as that bonus doesn’t require one to choose miles.

In other words, if you choose Hyatt points, you get the base points, the More Points bonus, and the 1,000 AA miles bonus. If you choose miles, you get the 500 miles plus the 1,000 AA miles.
