The nice thing is its pretty much free to sign up IIRC. So really no downside to joining if you have a small business.

but you need 50 nights per year! Do not forget

Im my limited experience Hyatt has been fairly lenient about the nights per year. If you show that you are booking stays and are off by a bit they usually still let you continue.

Popular deal website Dans Deals just started promoting a discount code that I assume is just a Hyatt leverage code. If you search for "How You Can Save Big On Hyatt Stays With A DansDeals Discount" you should find the post and link


I'd be curious for more data points, but I'd guess is that they have the same level of discount as Founder Card.

Dan's Deal is not the Founders Card deal. Best price for Dan's Deal on date (15-16 Nov) is EUR718, where FC is as posted above (EU510).

I appreciate you providing that data point.

My follow up question is are there different discounts levels with Leverage or is Founders setup like a corp code?

I received an email from clear with an invitation to the Founders Card for 12 months. I have an upcoming one night stay in Milan, if I was traveling with my Taller Half, I would bite, but not as a singleton. I'm sure the rest of you received the same email and deleted it already.

The link from Founders inserts a corporate code in to the booking site for Hyatt.

Yes See below I am seeing 570 EURO for August 11, so a fairly big discount.

For all the hate Founders card get, they have some really good negotiated rates at the likes of some Belmond, Rosewood, Park Hyatt and recently Accor hotels.

Does Founderscard still offer free Hyatt elite status?

No I am afraid not.

Does any one know if the trial version gives access to the discounted rates? I did see at the end of the application it said "Some benefits are not available during the complimentary period." but I would strictly be signing up for this.
