What is a “discount code” that wouldn’t qualify for an “Eligible Rate”? Is a “Corporate or Group Code” a discount code? Dan publishes his group code and says that people who use it (I’ve never tried) get everything credited normally to them. Is a discount code a “Special Offer Code”? Gary quoted the FAQ correctly, but I have no idea what it means.

You have to book thru the Hyatt website to eyeglass hyatt henegit.

And it isn’t intended to be family friendly (they actually want people to leave the kiddos at home so you will gamble more).

For their next trick they are going to make all the guests disappear.

For example, Globalists don’t receive free breakfast.

Yes, Marriott has problems but Hyatt is increasingly as bad as Marriott. Since they’ve pivoted toward resorts, all-inclusives, and franchised/licensed hotels for growth, everything has been on a free fall.

Not saying I agree with that though

As Globalist I can like do so for $30 and get the breakfast. I’ll book through Hyatt in any case.

The brand explorer category doesn’t matter.

Losing Caesars Diamond via Wyndham is more of a problem personally. Future stays likely to be Resorts World.
