I'm not trying to point any fingers here, because to a large extent I belong to the "mob," but I do find this to be hilarious. Just a few days ago I posted that I was anxiously awaiting Hyatt's upcoming promotion. I even speculated that the newest promotion would be announced yesterday or today. That…

Sweet Dilemma's not still going on. Accumulation of nights/points ended on 12/31/2010.
I just don't get why people are so hostile at Hyatt just be cause something that was NEVER PROMISED wasn't delivered. Whiners!
just like the people who whine about CO/UA selling upgrades online or at the kiosk. CO/UA NEVER promised to reserve F seats for free upgrades. They only promised to let F seats that did not sell go to elites as free upgrades.
Maybe it's just me, but I try to save getting upset for when something that the company said would happen doesn't happen - like when UA says the flight will have video but then it doesn't.
Let the flames begin...
just wondering Ben, did you actually stay the 25 nights needed last year to renew your diamond status?
@ Helixcardinal -- I'm an idiot, I meant "Crack the Case" promotion.
@ Sam -- Yes, I actually more than double requalified on stays last year. Ended the year with about 50 stays and 60 nights, and that doesn't include award redemptions. 🙂
There's only one property with Gx right now, and I wonder if that is a mistake.
In my decade with Hyatt I don't think I've ever seen a period with zero Gx bonuses. That does seem to be unprecedented.

The described phenomenon isn't even half as bad as the vitriol directed at Glenn Tilton and Jeff Smisek...who pretty much no one knows and who are vilified on every detailed issue.
You can stay at Andaz 3/25 and 3/26 for only $166 night. That's a hard rate to beat.
MS, that is certainly a good rate. I have a AAA rate of $176 booked, which is quite good too. Havent seen anything lower however so would appreciate it if Lucky were to elaborate.
Sorry folks, didn't mean to over-hype the rate I got. I got the same $176 AAA rate mentioned above. For New York I consider that to be an incredible bargain, given free breakfast and that I used my expiring suite upgrade. Anything under $200/night base for a luxury hotel in NY is a steal, in my opinion. The new IC is running over $100/night more.
Well you are also lucky for being able to use your upgrade! I tried to use mine and there were no suites available.
@ MS -- Did you try calling? They seem to not display suites online, which seems to be part of the issue. So the agent has to call the hotel directly to find out sometimes.
was able to stay @ Andaz wall street in deceomber on the expedia.ca deal - as a diamond, they will treat you well - $176 imho is a steal for this property!
Got $204 for the 5th Ave. Andaz next week using the 'thrill' rate - looking forward to checking out that hotel - the Andaz Wall St. rate looked good, but for a few more $$, I think the 5th Ave's location is worth it.
Hyatt has posted it will be announced no later than March 15th on their facebook page.
If the info Tim posted about Stay More Play More is accurate, there is going to be a riot of Hyatt elites.
