Tutorial Hyatt My Elite Rate 20% off
When you are logged into Hyatt.com with your Hyatt Gold Passport number, then My Elite Rate shows up, if available, when searching room rates using no special rate codes like AAA, senior and corporate codes.
Here are room rates for downtown Denver hotels with Hyatt Regency and Grand Hyatt shown as the first two results when I search Denver, Colorado for Saturday, October 11, 2014 for one night.
- Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center $219
- Grand Hyatt Denver $259
Hyatt.com requires the elite member to Sign In to see Hyatt Gold Passport My Elite Rate discounts when checking for hotels.
After I sign in to my Hyatt Gold Passport account I see these rates:
- Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center $176
- Grand Hyatt Denver $208
Interesting to see there are whole number dollar rates shown with no cents.
20% off $219 is $175.20 for Hyatt Regency Denver. 20% off $259 is $207.20 for Grand Hyatt Denver. Hyatt rounds up in both cases in the screen shot above to next highest dollar. Hyatt fails the California Common Core math standards students must exhibit in grade school work for rounding numbers.
My Elite Rate is a great deal for Hyatt members when you need a hotel and the rate is available for a 20% discount.
The actual My Elite Rate shown in the fine print rate breakdown is $175.20 for the night which is 20% off $219 Hyatt Daily Rate.
Take Note on using Hyatt.com website
During the course of writing this article, I was going back and forth between being signed into Hyatt.com, signing out and timing out when I stayed off the site and came back after several minutes delay. There were a number of times when the Hyatt.com page showed my name and showed I was signed into my account, yet the My Elite Rate did not appear for these Denver hotels.
My recommendation if you are searching for My Elite Rate and not seeing any, sign out of Hyatt.com, close your browser and start the Hyatt search over with a new sign in. I was not seeing Hyatt Gold Passport My Elite Rate for hotels where I knew the discount rate was available due to a technical or security issue with my browsing pattern. Restarting the search with a new browser session and new sign in worked to restore My Elite Rate function for hotel searches.
