Hyatt Staycation
Hello. First time on this platform. I have a construction project at my house next week and planned a staycation with my husband at a Hyatt near my house. I am a Globalist and this will be my first stay since achieving this status. I am excited to get a chance to use perks like a possible suite upgrade, free self-parking, and free breakfast. I called the hotel today and they are currently booking around 30% capacity and sit on 26 acres, giving us plenty of space to social distance. The front desk person let me know that the main restaurant at the property is closed due to COVID and they are offering a take-a-way breakfast in the mornings at a lounge/cafe. However, this breakfast will not be offered free to globalists and instead, they are giving me 500 points total for my stay. I value 500 Hyatt points at about $10, way less than the cost of breakfast at a resort for 5 days for 2 people. We will most likely grab some provision from the grocery store on the way in.

It will be helpful to know property name.

I would just ask at check in if they’re able to do 500 points per day. Especially since they have actual breakfast available for takeaway. They may “make an exception” and grant you breakfast, which honestly if it’s available it should be given. It sucks when properties try to skirt the rules.

But if that’s the policy/guidance then it should be practiced. Since breakfast is a daily benefit I’d think a daily credit (500 points) should be provided.
Hopefully a Hyatt CSR reads this and can chime in on what guidance Hyatt provided in place of Glob Breakfast.
