I believe I saw a mention of success in getting free night awards converted to points (perhaps 15k). Has anyone have success with this? My awards are from the credit card annual night and cash spend I believe. I’m currently an Explorist.

I contacted the HyattConcierge on twitter but got shut down. FWIW, my awards have not yet expired.

Thank you!

Hyatt never gives points before expiration, and as of a year or two ago, it only gives points to Globalists (10,000 for a Cat 1-4). If I were you, I'd try to use those certs.

I have just been talking to Hyatt concierge on twitter saying that I had planned to use my free night award before expiration but now with coronavirus i can’t travel. They are adamant that it won’t be extended.

What’s my luck these days as a globalist to get points instead after expiration?

There's a master thread for globalist experiences with this.

Whether they will or won't you'll have to wait until after expiration to find out.

They use to give 10K points, maybe 15K for globalist, but they won't give or say anything until after its expired.

Are Hyatt still giving Globalists 10k points for expired certs, or was that just a temporary Covid thing ?

Specifically I am asking about the Cat4 short expiry cert for spending 15k on the credit card. I have one that will expire in August that I will not be able to use.

Worst case I will burn it on a local HP just to get the night credit, but I would far prefer if I could get 10k that I could be used towards a real stay.

Received points today
Called and received 10K points for a cert that expired at the end of June. From what I have read you can't call until after it has expired.

Data points are all over the place. I think whether or not you get points depends on the quality of agent you get, specifically their eagerness to help and/or resourcefulness in trying to do so.

I created the new thread because the other threads are all from covid times, so I did not think they are reliable regarding current state of play. I seem to recall it being a thing in the gold passport days, but thought it was ended with WoH.

Good to see we have at least one recent DP that shows they still do it.......if you get the right agent

Same. 20k for a Cat7. Sent an email to MHC and points posted almost immediately. I was able to use my expiring Cat4, so unsure what that compensation might be.
