If you're a patient person who doesn't mind, confusing, complicated, & difficult transactions, these are the giftcards for you!
Be prepared that very few people at Hyatt know how these giftcards work.  I've tried to use several giftcards at several locations on several different occasions, and each time, every Hyatt employee I've encountered (over the phone or in person) have to put me on hold and call corporate to figure out how to redeem them.  I'm literally sitting on hold right now trying to book an advanced reservation with one now and they can't seem to figure out how to apply a $100 gift card to a $500 reservation.  (15 minutes and counting).  This is the third time I've tried to use it.  The answer I just received is &#34;you can't use a gift card on an advanced booking rate&#34;----different answers with different hotels.  When I call the same hotel later tonight, I will get a different answer.  At a different hotel 2 months ago, they nearly lost their minds because first they said you couldn't use them in international hotels (wrong) and then they said you can only use one gift card per stay (also wrong---after calling corporate for 1 hour, they took them all).  Long story short:  you will experience resistance, confusion, and stress every time you try to use one---especially if you try to use more than one.  One thing to keep in mind:  The FULL balance of your giftcard has to be used---ie:  if you have a $200 balance and your booking is only $100, you will not be able to use the giftcard.  Your giftcard will pay for anything on your folio, however (ie:  spa treatments, meals, room service, etc).  Hope this helps.
