I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Tahoe and ate at the Lone Eagle Grille last Friday. I used my credit card instead of charging it to the room.
I also got confusion from the waiter and so far I haven't seen any points in my account for the charge. Given that others have seen the points quickly, I think I'm screwed.
In hindsight, I wish I hadn't tried to game the system and I had charged it to the room.

Success last night while staying at a Hyatt. I asked the (very capable) waiter if he knew how to enter my WoH # and he said no problem. Paid with cc and I had the points in about 15 minutes.
Great promo!

interesting, FAQ#5 states something similar: it does not specifically state, that you may not stay at the hotel, it leaves this situation open.
T&C of Hyatt are often vague. Sometimes to our disadvantage (e.g. the breakfast discussion around an entree (any choice, or decided by the restaurant) this time the T&C seem to be to our advantage.

Waiter - “What room are you staying in so I can charge it to your room?”
Person - “I’d just like to pay here and can you also add my World of Hyatt number to the check?”
Waiter - “Uhm…”
Genuinely curious about this situation and thoughts on it.

It doesn't have to be awkward, and really it's not any of the waiter's business. While most people probably charge to the room and so it seems easier for the waiter, there can be many reasons why a dining customer would not want to charge meals to the room including:
a) wanting to keep room rate charges separate from incidental charges for accounting purposes;
b) wanting to use a different credit card (or cash) to pay for everything but the room, perhaps bc the room is paid by your company; or
c) wanting to split the the cost of the room with your roommate who pays for the room, and you pay for everything else.
Assuming the waiter is not a frustrated wannabe auditor who distrusts everyone, you can tell him the truth (in a vague way) by saying: you heard there was a Hyatt promo to earn more points by dining (to encourage more people to dine), but you heard it doesn't always work when dining is charged to the room since the final charges aren't always correctly segregated by type.

Curious what one would do at an isolated resort property such as Andaz Papagayo. I think that situation would be a lot more awkward.
Waiter - “What room are you staying in so I can charge it to your room?”
Person - “I’d just like to pay here and can you also add my World of Hyatt number to the check?”
Waiter - “Uhm…”

And when it makes sense points-wise for me, I tend to want to keep F&B charges off my room folios if I can help it and it’s convenient.
Settling the bill for F&B charges at the F&B venue itself as close to consumption as possible is probably a more reliable way to minimize charge disputes and the bad feelings that happen when there is a surprise/questionable F&B charge that comes to attention just before check-out (or even after).

Debating -
Considering redeeming 65k points for a $1,000 F&B credit vs. paying that $1,000 on dining due to this promo and earning 15x. Also with points getting a somewhat devaluation due to the Peak pricing this may get a better redemption rate or valuation.
If I had a WOH card it’d be a no brainer to spend the $1,000, but without it I’m earning ~25% less.
Does anyone know if when redeeming the points if that knocks out taxes? I know a lot of places when you redeem rewards like that or have a Voucher/Credit for X amount then that X amount isn’t taxed, just anything above that.
Thoughts?

Was perusing the list for a place in NYC, and amused to find properties such as the "Grand Hyatt New York[sic]" and "Hyatt Place New York City / Times Square." The former has since had a name and brand change, and doesn't really serve food anymore besides grab-n-go. The latter doesn't have a restaurant. 
Is this list accurate? Lolol.

The ones you really have to watch out for are the franchise and boutique brands - Unbound, Thompson, Destination etc. I got burnt by The Town Company at Hotel Kansas City - the hotel is an Unbound (i.e. franchise) and while the restaurant and the hotel shared common ownership, and the restaurant employees considered themselves part of the hotel, they've determined that they are separate entities so no points.

But at Ka'ana Kitchen (which I think has a great dinner, by the way) they did this for me no problem and I had the points within minutes.
In both cases, the waiters spoke with confidence. I can't know for sure that the Morimoto waiter was correct, of course. But there was no confusion in either instance about what I was asking for.

Funny enough, I tried there, and they specifically told me that they don't have a relationship with Hyatt, so they could not put my WoH number into any system. I charged this to the room.

If the restaurant is World of Hyatt eligible the WOH blob showing points eligible charges will print on the receipt. I always keep a photo of the receipt because non-stay charges rarely post correctly. From friends in the industry Hyatt's Point of Sale - Oracle Simphony - is a bit of a bear and requires multiple steps to complete simple transactions. Just putting in the number isn't enough.

I'm shocked that anyone is getting any points from this promotion. I can't remember the last time I received incidental points at all from parking, restaurant or bar charges. It's always a "not our establishment" excuse, even when buying a beer from the front desk/bar. This has happened at my last 10 Globalist stays, including Andaz, Hyatt Regency and Hyatt Place properties.
