When will my 15% (/25% for WOH card holders) rebate post?
Rebates usually post every Monday/Tuesday and cover stays where the stay posts (/shows up in your account) by Sunday.
This is a rebate and not a discount - you will have to pay the full points amount up front and then wait for the rebate points to be credited after check out date.
The rebate promotion applies for stays with a checkout date up to and including 2/28/21.

15-25% point rebate on WOH award stays through (Jan 4) plus free parking
Looks like it is valid for all members, 15% rebate if you are not a CC holder, 25% if you are a CC holder. Good on stays through October 8th, including previously booked ones (although checkout must be by October 8). Looks like it is good on up to 30,000 points per transaction (double that for cardholders' extra 10% rebate), so redemptions up to 200k points qualify for the full rebate. Must register by September 1st:

Also, free parking is included on award stays when it can be charged to the hotel; Globalists get free parking on paid rates as well (I think any rate that qualifies for WOH credit). Parking is good for most but not all hotels (the standard outliers like SLH and mLife are not included).
EDIT: Appears to be more than just award stays that qualify, it applies to "Free Night Awards, Points + Cash stays, room upgrades, dining and spa services, Exhale classes and spa therapies, FIND experiences and Lindblad excursions"

Per FAQ:
I think the registration date is incorrect, but it does say that previously booked stays apply. Also interesting as I've never seen retroactive registration like this before:
7. If I previously booked a stay using points and my checkout date falls within the promotional time period, will it count?
Yes, as long as the member or cardmember successfully registers for the promotion by September 30, 2020, their redemption stay will count and they will earn Bonus Points back if they check out between July 8 and October 8, 2020.

8. If I complete a stay during the offer dates but before registering for the promotion, will it count?
Yes, as long as the member or cardmember successfully registers for the promotion by September 1, 2020, their redemption stay will count if their check-in and checkout dates fall between July 8 and October 8, 2020.

Just wanted to add that if you haven't had a stay in the past several weeks and have no upcoming stays either, the current promo for 2,500 points for an elite member's first stay June 15-Sep 15 will likely stack with the 25% back, making a one night stay at a Cat 1 only 1,250 points and a cat 2 only 3,500 points.

Wow, that makes a dining+spa redemption tempting for WOH card holders. 48,750 points for $1,000 credit or $.0205/point value. Just need to find a property that isn't severely limited in options during the promotion period.

I’m guessing them saying “Free Night Awards” isn’t to be taken to mean using a Category 1-4 or 1-7 Certificate right? Like if you redeemed a Cat 1-4 at a Cat 4 property you wouldn’t get 2,250 (15%) or 3,750 (25%) back.
By “Free Night Awards” they mean Full Points bookings, not Free Night Certificates even though in WOH T&C they’re interchangeable.

Just wanted to clarify because the terms are interchangeable and in basically every Hyatt promo when it says includes “Free Night Awards” it means Category Certificates and Full Points Bookings.
I see this offer more as a halfway point to the changes they had planned to enact back in March with the “off peak” points bookings. As almost every property would now be “off peak” due to very low occupancy. The free parking is a nice touch, though I’ve heard most properties that previously charged for parking are not currently charging for parking.

Not sure if Hyatt thought this through or maybe they did, but a strict reading of the T&C would suggest GOH bookings would also qualify.
”3. What redemption options are eligible to earn points back?
All redemption options associated with a Hyatt stay are eligible to earn points back.”
Thoughts on this?

Well the terms above it make it sound like they’d go to the person actually redeeming the points. I just don’t think Hyatt thought that part through, or maybe they did who knows.

I have a stay next week using 2 Cat 1-4 certs at a Cat 4 hotel. I need to consider changing them to points stays. That'll save me 7,500 points.
Just read the T&C. Free parking for Globalists on an Eligible Rate is added valuable bonus.
