Are there any restrictions on the form of payment in order to participate in this promotion?
Eligible methods of payment include cash, Points + Cash, check, or major credit cards or debit/bank cards. Eligible methods of payment exclude, without limitation, hotel “House Accounts,” charges settled by a company or organization, charges billed to a guest room/folio or unit at a Hyatt-branded residence, Hyatt-branded gift cards, Hyatt gift cheques, or property-specific gift card/certificates.

Hyatt Double Points Promo: ToP Thoughts

Hyatt seems to be falling in love with the first stay does not count terms for their promos. That means booking a one night stay during the promo period first is the best way to go about it. You would do this so you aren't losing bonus points on multiple nights etc. if you have a longer stay as your first promo booking.

I find it interesting that free night awards are listed under approved payments but are not listed in the FAQ section under payments. Maybe that is leftover verbiage from a previous promo? I had thought room charges might work and that is why it was listed but they are on the exclusions list in the FAQ. If that is actually how the IT works remains to be seen though (I am skeptical).

Be sure to activate the promo because you just never know if you'll use it. Hopefully some of you out there have some stays that will work nicely with this although the 25K points cap isn't the best.
