Random 5000 Point Bonus
Hi All,
While checking to see if that last stay has credited for my last FFN, I see a what looks like a totally random 5000 point present in my account from Hyatt. It is not a Hyatt Platinum Extras award (it's been fun to see that thread going on for the last few days), it is not for staying at Hyatt Places (Since those stays don't seem to have registered yet - grr,and they should show up as separate 2500's), and I'm afraid to call and ask what the bonus is for.
Anyone other diamonds out there get a 5000 point bonus today, not tied to any particular stay? Did I register for some promotion 6 months ago and forget, and now finally did the computer cough up the points?
Thanks

Can't figure this out either
Looking at my account, I see:
23 Nov 2007 25 Nov 2007 Irvine Stay 1,087 1,163 2,250 Points
from a recent stay where I spent only about $250 for a 2-nighter. Why they rounded me up to 2250 points, I don't know.
Who am I to wonder why... I'll just take 'em and figure they know what they are doing.

Yes - with the 30% bonus and a G1 or something connected to a stay, that might happen. But this 5000 pointer is not connected to any type of stay. I'm paying pretty close attention to this only because I'm booking 2 back-to-back 5 Night Passport Escapes in Kauai in March, and I was just going to squeek in with the 250K points. But all of a sudden, a totally random 5000 points credit appears, not connected to a stay.
Not that I'm complaining, but it's usually the other way around. Wait 2 weeks, log in, tell them that the Hyatt Century didn't give you the G2 bonus, . . .

Bruce, 163 is exactly 15% of 1087, which is normal earnings on $217.40 before taxes. Perhaps the 1000 is a G1 or similar & it just happens to = 2250 on the nose!
BTW, Holtju2, when I checked in at HR Chicago in Oct. they had no DD rooms (but I ended up not needing 2 beds) & my assigned K room was not yet ready at 2PM, so I talked my way into an upgrade to Deluxe Room with free RC access for my 3-night stay.
I was so satisfied that I did not push for the 5K.

But it sure sounds like a normal stay + elite bonus + G1.
