Hmmm, you may be right. I have 8 nights at two Hyatts booked within the next 3 months and perhaps that's working against me. What do you think, should I cancel my reservations and see if it makes a difference? Both locations have Sheratons nearby and they would suit me just as well.

Ts and Cs say:
Daily prize winners will be randomly selected each Monday from among all eligible entries received during the previous week during the Promotion Period (12:01 a.m. Central Time ("CDT") on April 2, 2009 and 11:59 p.m. CDT on May 13, 2009). Potential Daily Prize winners will be notified via email approximately one (1) business day following winner selection.
For some reason, I thought we could only enter once, and that our entry would be carried forward. Does this mean we need to enter each week?
Edited to add: I just tried to enter again, and got this message. Sorry! Our records indicate that you have already entered this promotion. Does this mean I've lost my opportunity to win, since I didn't win last week?

However, it's a low sample size and there are many more people without reservations than there are with them.

Too bad the T&Cs didn't limit winners to people who have had at least 1 previous stay at a Hyatt property . 
Although that's probably against Sweepstakes rules or something, they all have to be open to everybody, don't they?

Damn, did this make it to FatWallet and SlickDeals? There goes our decent shot at winning anything. Too bad the T&Cs didn't limit winners to people who have had at least 1 previous stay at a Hyatt property .

That's why you see similar provisions for Canadians in this contest as well.
I think Hyatt's primary purpose with this sweepstakes was to invite new members to join, and join they have! Requiring a night's stay would turn off many sweep players, but would have been great for their existing Gold Passport members.
Good luck everyone for tomorrow's drawing!

I also tried to do a new entry early morn monday and its still saying I have already entered.
also It seems to read that there will be daily prize winners-then says EACH MONDAY meaning once a week
can people please tell us when they actually are informed so we know its daily and not weekly.
because I am seeing people being told all thru the week
can GP concierge please answer some of these questions for us.
Im very confused
as they say in Boston Legal
its all a lot of JIBBER JABBER.
