Back to Back Points / Cash Stays, Can these post separately?
I have a two night points reservation for this weekend, 2/26 - 2/28, specifically booked these dates to take advantage of Bonus Journeys rebates.
If I want to add another night, 2/28 - 3/1 using a cash rate, can I have the hotel not combine the reservations and check-me in / check-me out to have this post as two separate stays to my account so I get the 25% rebate on the points nights? Not sure if Hyatt witll automatically combine them regardless.
If not, any other way to accomplish this?

The most surefire way of doing this would be to put the 2/28-3/31 reservation into the other person's name.
If it's just you, then I'd suggest sending Hyatt a message on Twitter and asking them whether you'll get the 25% rebate (so you have it in writing). By default the reservations will get combined and post for 3/1. Who knows how the points rebate will work - I don't think anyone here can really say for certain.

Are you travelling with someone else?

You should also be able to get added as the second guest on the other person's reservation and have you globalist status (/your WOH account) associated with the reservation. Then you *should* get benefits, but probably not guaranteed. The other option is to do a GOH booking for the other person (although you may not want to use points for the third night if you're not getting the 25% rebare)?

Twitter said no, if I extend I'll lose the rebate.
I think GOH might be the only real option. Or Points + Cash Award under the 2nd guests name (I have a $60 off $300 Hyatt AMEX Offer I was trying to use), but then I'll probably lose the Globalist benefits.
