Overlapping stay credit
Hi there, searched this and found the most recent responses to be in 2017 so I thought I would ask again.
i am in the midst of a 2 week business stay at a Hyatt place that's been prepaid by my employer .
I would however like to book a points stay at another hotel over the long weekend since I am not flying home.
Would i get credit for the second stay that is occurring while my 2 week stay is going on?
Thanks for your input!

Are you getting credit for the two week stay or not? You say prepaid, but was it booked through on OLTA, is there a master bill, could there be a corporate rate or special negotiated rate that doesn't earn points and/or night credit, etc.?

You will receive the points for the overlapping night(s), but not elite qualifying night for the 2nd stay that's occurring during the same time as your 2 week stay.

FWIW I was in a similar situation a few years ago and did receive elite qualifying nights for a nested weekend stay inside of a 10 day reservation at another property. Per the terms and as others have commented you’re not supposed to receive elite nights for this but I was credited elite nights for both stays...

Last year I had a situation where I was staying at a Hyatt and ended up leaving the room that evening (still paying for that night) to catch a flight to beat out a snowstorm and checked into another Hyatt the same night a few hours later and received credit for both including the elite night credit. So yeah, it can happen, but don't plan on it.

i got 2x elite qualifying nights for one room at Hyatt Highlands Inn and a second room at Hyatt Residence Club Carmel. 2x brand credit also.
so, yeah. i think it’s automatic.
of course, downside risk of account closure if audited and overlap not physically possible for the member.
but same city or one-night overlaps for redeyes (for instance) are safe and count 2x elite nights.

If you want to use points at another Hyatt, nobody will stop you... just don't expect to get double credit. (or keep it after an account audit)

In multiple people's experience, it hasn't happened, so I don't think that it is automatic.
Again, as others have said:
T&C say that this doesn't count. And in general you wouldn't get the extra night credit. However, there have been SOME cases where it counts. If so, great. But don't count on it, and don't escalate if it doesn't happen.
