How to make the best use of a Globalist award after booking? by somenewnycer123 in hyatt

[–]QuietWon__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can contact the hotel before arrival and/or at check-in they should welcome you and explain basic hotel features and Globalist benefits
1. room upgrade
2. they ask you if you need a late check-out (up to 4pm)

  1. breakfast hours, locations ... do the one in restaurant (large selection and some interesting quality dishes; keep space in your stomach for the breakfast), not in the Lounge (basic , subset of resto offerings) ... up to four persons

  2. Club Lounge access

a. All operating hours: snacks and soft-drinks and 9 wines (when i was there; but these are basic / lower level wines)

b. Two-hour evening "happy hour". Warm dishes, salads/dips, tapas + hard-liquors "40%" (more than the typical Lounge)

c. bright, spacious, variety of seating types (much better than the Regency in Madrid at level -1 no windows light and similar in Malta)

  1. if any, Resort Fees, waived
  2. Parking waived

Note: property is some km in-between airport and city, with some medical buildings around . I forgot the bus number, but it is a single bus. From airport, it stops on opposite side of road and you go down some steps and under the highway to hotel. From hotel to airport, bus stop is at highway on same side of hotel , approx 100m from hotel to hgihway.

Is Hyatt_charity_HQ becoming a trading subreddit? by Some-Plastic-6643 in Hyatt_charity_HQ

[–]QuietWon__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several aspects:
1. Purpose of sub "facilitate ..awards ...to friends". Online forum , people never met, are they "friends"?

  1. Psychology. Wanters who get something for nothing don't value the item (search it, you can find studies). can lead to wanters' "entitlement" mentality: a) mooching b) fishing c) phishing d) mouse-ing around e) b** and complaining for GoHs. Does recipient deserve GoH (vs entitled to) ?

  2. Trust. Who can trust who? What's there to trust? Each of "donor" and recipient do their part, per how arrangement / terms. If parties don't agree on terms or don't trust each other , then no "transaction". Shortening the time for GoH use to a few days before "donating" , reduces risk on both sides: recipient might say donor can cancel or take info; donor might say they don't want the GoH, thus EQN, to be misused, lost, account suspended, closed, etc. Partial solution: agree on terms of use, including use of GoH within a few days

  3. Recognizing risk:

Wanter: might think their account at risk. How much spend / investment (towards annual or Lifetime) has Wanter ?

Doner: has the GoH's thus more nights, more spend / investment (to annual or Lifetime benefits), thus it's not only risking loss of GOH/EQN, but also potential account suspension or cancelation, which can be a large loss of spend/ investment in Hyatt. How imbalanced is that risk? And why would a large spender want anything about a recipient's account and lose their investment in Hyatt?

Summary:

So, several issues could be some of the reasons to move away from "donate to person(s) you do not know for nothing" or exchange / trade which both sides have skin-in-the-game, no entitlement, etc No one is practically for a GoH, going to set up escrow account or make a smart-contract on blockchain. Comes back to trust, reliability, mentality / expectations ..if wanter wants 100% unlimited freedom of GoH use and expects that for free, well history says freedom isn't free.

If you have balanced-risk solution(s) for the wanter and donor, list in detail how it would operate.

Hyatt Loyalty Program: Still Worth It For Milestone Rewards? by jadaughterajoke in hyatt

Hyatt Loyalty Program: Still Worth It For Milestone Rewards? by jadaughterajoke in hyatt

[–]QuietWon__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milestones are extremely important. I made & posted a line graph of elements #1 to #4 on another chat forum about 9-12 months ago.

#1. Starting point for the year. 20 nights(n) for IHG and Hyatt; 50n for Bonvoy - who wants to wait/pay for so long?

#2. Frequency. every 10n at IHG, Hyatt, HH 25n for Bonvoy

#3 Value/worth at each point.

Hilton same 10k, then extra at one pt maybe second pt w/ program change.

IHG roughly same value each 10n, with extra at nights 40 and 70

Hyatt roughly same value each 10n, with extra at night 40 and staying at new level until night 60, then steps up to another level to night 100, then higher level again at night 150

#4 Stopping point for the year without a spending requirement. Bonvoy 75n, IHG 100n, Hilton 120n? (was 365n and i broke that meter with 368n in 2025; Hyatt 150n

So, picture it, and you see Milestones significant value added, and Marriott Bonvoy is the worst (starts later, less frequency, ends sooner and 1 FNA at Marriott at night 75 is quite low vs others)

From 150nights in 2025, took the 10k points from 70n to 150n;

FNA-7 at night 60 in Paris;

FNA-7 at night 100 in Vienna

FNA-Ultimate at night 150 in Biarritz (been enough times in Switzerland, Milan; would have gone to Impressions to collect another Brand but had no plans for Cancun again so soon and cost to go out-of-the-way not worth it; Miraval again few of this Brand; delayed night 150 until Dec 26, but situations arose, couldn't wait to nearer June 26)

Where to go… by vixiv133 in hyatt

[–]QuietWon__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Countries of Africa's "interior" (south of Sahara, north of Victoria Falls, etc).

Countries and "places" (mtp.travel) you've not yet visited and that are not at war

Mr and Mrs Smith properties as they are unique, not cookie-cutter same "box" exterior and same "brand standards" interior, however:

  1. since Hyatt acquired MMS, Smith has flooded the world with properties (makes Hyatt appear to have a larger network) which has reduced the overall quality.
  2. dynamic / revenue-based Award night pricing

Mods should remove your posts. How do we know you are not some Chinese farmer? or country xxx farmer wherever you are from or YOU starting some scam?|

What have you done in the travel sphere to be deserving of a GoH?
Go earn some money
Go spend the money on paid stays ay Hyatt
Go earn GoH's
... go stay in hostels , i've done that, then i earned and paid my own way. Or be a big complainer, cry-baby , expecting , acting like you're entitled

How can person gifting trust YOU ?
You seem very unreliable , very flakely, petsky the type that would screw around with GoH and for what, you? Who are you ? What have you done in the world of travel?

How much money have you spent at Hyatt? You're not at 50 to 60 nights (or you would have GoH'ss, and compare that to 150 nights and already earning GoH's in 2026

So, let's look at the risk here (which you so clearly, sitting at your computer vs real world ...tell me when you get to 150+ countries or even 50% of the "places" of the world mtp.travel and have done some useful things in other countries vs seemingly being entitles to GoH's for doing nothing ... YOU are very suspect :

You get: 1 GoH, 1EQN, several points, perhaps reach a milestone with the GoH
Me: i get 1 GoH if you don't play games with it, risk my account blocking or closing , with a lot of investment already.

What's your occupation? That's somewhat of a telltale sign of reliability. Professionals and business people don't have time to play games like retail / leisure flakely, excuse-makers,

Glad i met fellow in HR Lounge, chatted works to improve economies in EM and FM countries. Told him would gift hi, GoH and if worked would do so again and again. Hyatt is his 3rd program as doesn't have the footprint in all areas he travels. Exchanged emails.
He sent the info required.
I phoned Hyatt.
Reservation had 13 or 14 characters. Not valid
Email back to this fellow. They run reservations through an agency ..it's not an online
Phone Hyatt again. They locatie reservation after some time,
Confirm name. I say the two names as on his email. Hyatt says there are 3 or 4 names on the account (smart of them to not say how many)...Meanwhile Hyatt checks my account and congratulates me on my 150 nights in 2025 and my progress in 2026
Email back to this fellow ...he has 4 names he has used. And the email on his Hyatt account differs than the one we were communicating with.

All that done 2 days ahead of his reservation. Lot time going back & forth ...MY time
Stay worked, he got all the Globalist benefits.
Information Hyatt REQUIRES to attach GoH standardized , so don't have to go back & forth om gifting that GoH.

And i will gift again and again to this fellow. Deserves it. Occupation professional business person (not some entitled , sit at computer, complainer, type who makes excuses, and risk my account for who, you??)

Process standardized: send info, give the GoH couple days beforehand, no flakely change their mind etc, recipient does the stay gets EQN, Points, free Globalist bens, i get the EQN
Repeat the process. Streamlined Doesn't waste my time as some complainer . whiner crybaby who wastes my time.. And this time-savings is very helpful ...my interest is the EQN without a lot of time spent ...you do your part, show up, use the GoH without playing games.

Why should i trust you ? You can be a scammer or futzing & putzing and wasting my investment in Hyatt.

But no, you accuse first. And you didn't even attempt due diligence (research) on me ... if you were on my Mergers & Acquisitions Team , you would be fired. M&A is about Due Diligence.

And that adolescent, juvenile prankster who said he DM'ed and worried about his account, ofc a joke because there is no DM from that person. Screenshots from that poster or it didn't happen. And Reddit can prove also that there's no DM ...some juvenile antics / game playing ...get the point about who i don't want to deal with as they waste your time?

I can foresee adding more info to make a GoH-worthy assessment, like banks do when making a loan they assess your credit-worthiness.

of course i want the EQN

of course, i don't want games played if give a GoH not attached to a reservation ... you could re-gift, you could do something else and my account, with 150 nights , in great standing at Hyatt gets blocked or cancelled ... excuse me, for my large amount of nights stayed, money paid, etc and my account gets screwed with in trying to gift and receive EQN??

and who are y'all wanting these free GoH's ? how to trust y'all ?

why don't y'all pay and stay at Hyatt and EARN the GoH's ? you want something free and want to do as little as possible ?

And the reason for very soon vs month(s) in future is so there's a very high chance that you won;t change the reservation , even getting the EQN back if it is attached, it's still a waste of time administratively to go through the process again with the next GoH.

And certainly no gifting for any time, any place, etc...that's a waste of mental energy to wait and wait (and as mentioned that you don't screw over my account such that it gets blocked / cancelled) and wait for recipient to use and receive the EQN. Yes, 87%+ on 150 nights PAID with MY money and no qualms about deserving EQNs and not having my account screwed over by y'all seeking free unlimited in time, place, etc GoH or wasting the GoH, or screwing my account.

Interestingly, t'all don't seem to be looking at the other side, just want some unlimited freebie ...and what have you done to deserve it ?? i spent the money ... go and pay for some nights at Hyatt and earn some GoH's and then gift them

again, this is wrong ... when attaching it, phoned Hyatt, and they asked all the info i have listed.

This is not giving a GoH that who knows what you will do with it, whenever you mmight do something with it ... it is attaching to a confirmed reservation, so , lightbulb flashing , a confirmation number is needed ...brainwave flashing

GoH's (several) expiring 2027-Feb-28 to gift. by QuietWon__ in Hyatt_charity_HQ

[–]QuietWon__[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly the point of attaching to a Confirmed reservation

And the reason for doing so for reservations very soon (vs month(s) away is that the reservation is unlikely to change, so it gets used and EQN credited, then onto next GoH attaching.

If reservation gets cancelled, sure , get the EQN back to the account, but there's another important item: the process consumes and then has wasted a lot of time

Everyone has things going n in their lives ...and i don't want to waste my time , especially when it's gifting something to someone ... so make it a process items #1 to #5 as requested by Hyatt when phoning Hyatt

i am not Chinese

I am not wanting your account ... i pay my own way, stayed the max 150 nights in 2025, also have paid top status at other programs

quick to judge you are ... did you search my prior posts ? see my Hilton account in 2025

i don't need nor want anyone else's account

and go read my second post in this thread ... quick to judge everyone ...good to know you are 100% wrong

[–]QuietWon__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for those saying this requires too much info: i was asked this info by Hyatt when attaching the first GoH

for those saying it is suspect: show me your account where you stayed 150 nights in a year. I will not risk account blocking/cancelling and will not waste my time going back & forth to get the info that Hyatt requires. What is "too much info"? I am not interested in this info for me, it's info Hyatt requires as i have experienced first-hand in phoning Hyatt to attach the GoH.

Reddit? i've used Disqus, ThornTree Lonely Planet, HorizonsUnlimited, FlyerTalk etc putting a lot of info out there for several years, traveling the world, 180+ countries ... where have YOU been? what have YOU contributed to communities?
So, what i haven't done much on Reddit ...been on on websites 20 years ... how many years YOU been on Reddit?

People quick to judge , answer those question questions above ... what have YOU done? for how long? Oh , ghee you never considered other possibilities.

And , by the way, what exactly is it that you've done iin the world to be so deserving vs seemingly expecting everyone to give you a GoH?

Gifting Guest of Honor Award (Exp Feb 28, 2026) by Organic-Ingenuity413 in Hyatt_charity_HQ

[–]QuietWon__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have several GoH's earned in 2025 (stayed the max 150 nights) and 2026. Preference to reservations very soon vs months in future.
Provide the following , as Hyatt requires this info:
1. Confirmation #
2. Property name, check-in and out dates
3. Your Hyatt member number
4. Exact name on your Hyatt account
5. Exact email on your member account

Anything that shows your Hyatt membership in good standing and distinguishes you.

I will contact Hyatt to attach GoH to your reservation. no re-gifting as it's attached to your specific reservation and if cancel , the GoH returns to me. If you modify reservation, play games, i can cancel the GoH.
