Does that mean I have to rebook to get the rebate? Or do existing bookings count?

HR/GH promo does indeed count award stays towards the 5night/2500 pts.
"normally" (as in every case I have had experience with Hyatt), their promos aren't specific to when you book, only when you stay. I don't see anything in the Ts and Cs here that suggest this is any different, but you can always call and hope to get someone who knows the answer. It shouldn't take long for someone to confirm with their own experience as well.
This is another promo that is good to take advantage if you are already using pts, but hard to imagine changing a booking just because of a 10% pt discount. I have 18 nights of paid stays booked and the 10% pt back doesn't add nearly enough value to change any of those cash stays to pt stays.

Johnsmith, those links must be just for you! Because when I clicked on 2 of them, I got, "This offer has already been redeemed." And on the others I got http://x-apple-data-detectors//5 !

Thanks, Solewalker & FH! I tried it & got "We're sorry. We are unable to process your request." I guess they know that I cancelled my Hyatt Visa last December 
! And the address bar ends with "globalPromo.error-ERROR_SOAP_0372 ."
Oh well, I don't expect to stay in any Hyatts in Aug./Sep. anyway.

From the Hyatt Concierge twitter - rebate based on stay date:
Good evening! The booking date does not matter. You must register by Aug 31st and stay between Aug 1 and Sept 30th to get the 10% back. ^TH
Pretty pumped about this - I currently have over 60,000 points worth of booking during the period, and have more points-based stays planned (but not booked yet).

Thank you for clearing that up for us; I have a 75K point redemption for September, so this will be a nice benefit.

Per the registration page: "Only points redeemed between 8/1/2018 and 9/30/2018 will be eligible for this promotion." For an award booking, the points are removed from your account at the time of booking, not at the time of the stay. Is there a distinction between reserving with points and 'redeeming'?
