As a Hyatt receptionist what I can say is that when a reservation is booked through fhr (which is a third party) the system tells us not to honor the status perks. It is also quite usual for the status not to be linked when booking third party so they may have not be aware of your globalist status upon check in. Regardless your room should be ready by 3pm regardless and this was a bit weird on their part.

Thanks for the insight! This is the first time we've encountered any issues staying at a Hyatt. Usually it's a seamless experience.
@mitsu.hadeishi Жыл бұрын
I have booked many Hyatts with FHR and have always gotten full Globalist benefits on top of the FHR benefits. Also at hotels with other brands. The booking shows up in my Hyatt account as an eligible stay and counts towards status. Note that this does NOT occur with THC (Hotel Collection) stays. If the hotel is THC and not FHR, then no status benefits and no elite stay credit.

I use Hyatt for all other expenses, as it's basically a 2x card(3x on restaurants, local transit and gym) until $15,000. I get a cat 1-4 cert which is worth 12,000 to 18,000 points, and 6 elite nights, which helps me tremendously to the 30-night milestone, which gives me another cat 1-4 cert.

I also went to Vegas to see Taylor Swift! I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria via a Hotwire deal (we were able to match up the images and confirm it was Waldorf prior to booking). The lobby is under construction so we had to walk a bit to get to reception. Room was amazing and it was just at $300 for the one Saturday night we stayed. I was able to add my Hilton Gold status to room but not get any perks as it was third party booking. The only snafu we had was we asked for late check out, was told 1 PM, and at 11:30 AM I received a text asking why our stuff was still in the room! We had to run back from breakfast to grab our things but nothing major. Taylor was great. Definitely want to check out the sushi place you recommended in Las Vegas!

the Amex FHR credit was MASSIVELY DEVALUED this year. Many hotels that were part of the hotel collection or FHR are not there anymore. for upcoming Istanbul and Paris trips I have, I tried looking and many of the properties are insanely expensive, making the credit useless this year. Even looking within the U.S., it's not the same - several properties were taken out of the program. I had to work really hard to even find a use of it this year. Such a disappointment!

🃏 Was actually in Vegas the Tuesday - Thursday before you (super cheap in-between March Madness weekends). This is my third year using my FHR credits, so still pretty new at maximizing. Tried Virgin Hotel two nights, then NoMad the second two nights. The rates were roughly the same and I enjoyed both hotels, but NoMad had notably nicer vibe, room and food credits: $60 daily breakfast ($30 per person) and $100 food/beverage credit through FHR across most of the MGM restaurants. Honestly hadn't considered FHR in Vegas until watching your experiences with it, so thanks for the advice!

I was just in vegas. I used the fhr for Palazzo first night and Crockfords the second. I'm a Vegas veteran and Palazzo is usually my go to, however this was quite disappointing. Room had old towels in drawers and a pack of cigarettes. Ate at Mott 32 with was excellent as usual. I'll give Palazzo another chance as I have many years of great experience with them but this time was underwhelming. Crockfords though! Exceeded all my expectations on every level, plus the have a Randy's doughnuts now.

Haven't taken any trips yet but I've got some coming up this Summer. Balancing the CSP $50 travel portal credit, Amex Platinum FHR $200 credit, Citi Premier $100 hotel credit, and a few different free nights. Honestly if I wasn't getting retention offers for the Platinum I'd have cancelled it by now. I can get near full value from the Digital Entertainment credit and mostly full value from the Uber credit, but everything else I can't justify counting it at face value. The FHR credit seems like a solid use if you are going to Vegas, but I checked in every city I'm traveling to this year and can't really find hotels under $400 a night after taxes/fees. Getting a bit frustrated with the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless as well. With the dynamic awards chart, there's pretty much no where but airport hotels to use the free night.
