Elite Status Hyatt Hacks | Ep165 | 8-27-22

[@sg3-h7u]

Wow! The most comprehensive breakdown of the hyatt program ever! Much appreciated!

[@nraghu99]

Does ventana Big Sur qualify for the all inclusive hyatt double elite promotion

[@frequent-miler]

Unfortunately not. Ventana is part of Hyatt's Alila brand, not its Inclusives brand (despite being inclusive) -Greg

[@nraghu99]

@@frequent-miler thanks

[@Eleanorlovesrigby]

Please note that the only MGM properties that you can get EQNs for are their Vegas properties. Their partnership with MGM is only their Las Vegas properties.

[@DarthAsad]

Thank for posting. I was hoping to do this in Atlantic City.

[@Eleanorlovesrigby]

@@DarthAsad seems cost prohibitive anyways since Borgata is so expensive and comp nights don’t count.

[@kevinm7498]

Any DP if you can get Hyatt Biz over 5/24?

[@lrubio1]

I'm exactly at 5/24, I tried in branch and got denied, I even had the branch rep call the reconsideration line, still got declined 😐

How to book cheap sky team from Europe to usa? Miles or cash. Ty

Trying to get credit for the dinner spent at an SLH property abroad…it was on my checkout folio, paid with WOH cc but not reflected on my WOH acct

[@Juice10169]

Would my MGM nights count towards my Hyatt nights to get globalists?

[@frequent-miler]

Yes, so long as you book through MGM or Hyatt and your Hyatt account number is attached before the stay.

[@MelissaC269]

My husband booked two girls' weekends for me and friends with his points. We didn't know that they didn't get assigned to his account because they are in my name. Do you think once I arrive to the hotels and give them my husband's woh #, they will add it so he gets credit for the nights?

[@911eVoX]

I'm not going to stay up midnight PST for a flash sale

[@kylemarshall4559]

Ok

[@PerturbedGoose]

Damn that vacasa experience is insane!

[@druiz012]

Nick, since you recently went to London.... My flight home from Europe next month was canceled and my best option back had 18 hour layover in London 9 p.m. to 3 p.m. Do you think its worth booking a Hotel in London for such a short time or the 5000 Point Hyatt at the airport? Basically is there much to see from 8 a.m. to 12...

[@mindbendernine]

The Hyatt discussion will be of use to a travel rookie, but not to anyone who has been a regular Hyatt customer and has kept up with the travel/points sites. It’s all rehashed chatter that I was already aware of. As a current Globalist who will not be able to get past Explorist for this year, this video was a waste of my time. Tell me something new.

[@kevinm7498]

Any examples of stuff they missed?

[@mindbendernine]

@@kevinm7498 Not from Hyatt, who don't seem to have many promotions happening this year. But my point was that they rehashed Hyatt topics that can easily be found on many sites - so how does this qualify as "Elite Status Hacks" as shown in the title? Many in the points community accuse other sites of clickbait titles, but this is a winner.

[@aSpaceLettuce]

Well they’re kind enough to break down their videos with titled timestamps in the description so you know exactly what they’re talking about without watching the video… so unless you can’t read you wasted your own time.

[@mindbendernine]

@@aSpaceLettuce Not quite. They leave timestamps to mark the topics without leaving details - like chapters in a book. But they didn't leave any meaningful content that would justify the topic "Elite Status Hyatt Hacks" But you are correct in that I wasted my time with this useless video. Which is the point of my original post...

[@renjunair6034]

Greg mentioned about adding/Tagging a segment to an international AA ticket. Can these be done only on buss class ? Had an economy booked via points from Dallas to Auckland and tried to add ORD to DFW free and AA CS said it's not Possible

[@Re3iRtH]

I ran into a roadblock with that Winc wines. I only saw the promo in one place and activated it. However, I believe it was SimplyMiles when I went in there I didn't have the promotion on any of the MasterCards that I linked there. And this was the same for many people in the comment section. Any ideas what we can do?

[@frequent-miler]

No, I don't think there is anything you can do to make SimplyMiles target you. I have the Winc offer in my SimplyMiles account and there have been situations where my wife and I have different targeted offers for different merchants. If there is some secret sauce to getting targeted, I don't think it is publicly known yet. -Nick
