I'm burning 3 Cat 7s in Stowe Vermont. My criteria was something I could drive to in half a day or less.

Well I was able to book a week on points at Ventana. I'll work with my concierge to see if I can cut it down to 3 nights (2 nights using certs and 1 using points). Otherwise it's Thompson Dallas I think.
Lodge at spruce peak might be an option too.

Please post back. I might want to book there on points and swap for a Cat 1-7 also.

I can't remember if this was just for the old free night certificates but also for these cat 1-7 nights. I remember being able to use the FNCs for 4 people included without extra fees at all-inclusives (e.g. Ziva/Zilara). Anyone know if that's true for the cat 1-7's too?

Again ask Hyatt. My question is why does Hyatt allow Chase issued Cat 1-7’s for Miraval but not earned ones. As you can see above it’s clearly in the T&C that they are allowed and I did provide the link as well.

Matt, this isn't at all what my thread was for. I wanted realistic suggestions from the community on where I could burn my cat 7 certs. Regardless of the legality the reality is that Hyatt won't let me use them on Miraval. If you want to fight that battle for me (which I fully support!) please do so in another thread.

I’m not fighting for that at all, I was just curious as to why one is allowed while the other isn’t. I also have two Category 7 Certs to burn by years end and while I’d love to use them at Miraval I know that isn’t possible. I was just again wondering why Chase Certs are allowed for it and earned ones as the ones you and I hold are not.

Hyatt values their relationship with Chase and that’s part of that deal they brokered when creating the Hyatt Credit card and subsequent WOH Credit Card. Hyatt feels that creating that new business is more important than maintaining or further rewarding already loyal business.
I feel it’s a valid question for the thread and the general Hyatt community. If someone would’ve posted one simple answer instead of saying that such Certs don’t exist, or even if they do exist the 45k points cost at Miraval doesn’t make sense to allow that Cert use. But no one answered. Then I would’ve dropped it.
