when did you make the purchase? I think it takes roughly a few days to show up in your amex account, the 5% savings that is.
Yes it will take a few days. To verify that it will qualify, just look at the item details. It should say "doing business has Hyatt Fulfillment Chicago" or something like that. I can guarantee that as of this summer, both physical and electronic gift cards triggered the bonus on my Amex biz.

I almost feel tempted to buy a stack of hyatt gift cards before the end of the year. However, not sure what my vacation plans are. Will be sad that this discount will be gone.

Well that will be interesting since their terms show this.
2. Hyatt Hotels & Resorts®: Payment must be made with a Business Card from American Express OPEN. "Eligible" means the first $10,000 in spending per Card Account in a calendar year, including incidental charges charged to your room folio at time of check out, at participating Park Hyatt, Andaz, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency and Hyatt hotel or resort locations within the U.S., and until 12/31/15, at participating Hyatt Centric locations within the U.S. For stays at participating Hyatt Centric locations, this benefit is available for transactions completed on or before 12/31/2015. Any transactions that are charged to your Card at Hyatt Centric properties after 12/31/15 will not qualify for this limited time OPEN Savings benefit. Because your Card is normally charged at the end of your stay, that means that you will not receive the benefit for any stays completed after 12/31/2015. This excludes charges relating to third party sales transactions (such as prepaid travel agent, wholesaler, on-line travel service, Internet access or similar transactions) not paid directly to the hotel. Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Residence Club locations do not participate in the OPEN Savings benefit. Go to open.hyatt.com/participating to find a participating location. General OPEN Savings terms and conditions also apply.
Plus they show Hyatt on their website.
Hopefully they show up soon.

So you have done this before and gotten the credit?

Yes, but it was last year on a different Bus Plat card. What I posted is from this year and it appears to be the exact same as yours...I don't understand what the issue is.
Ok. This may be obvious but I need to ask. Did you go in and select 5% bonus on the Open Savings? If you don't, it will automatically get set to 3x MR points. (For cards with MR of course)

Thanks and, unfortunately, it wasn't obvious. And even though I thought I had selected discount on DH's card..apparently not :-(
Wish I knew why one of the reps I chatted with didn't see that. Oh well. They apparently made notes in my(his) account about the 5% not posting..maybe I will get lucky.
Thank you for all of the support I received on this thread. I really feel like quite the idiot now.

Probably a good idea to buy them on ebay. There is a deal on them right now I think. 175 for a 200 Hyatt GC.
I always take advantage of that sell when it happens. Combine with a portal and ebay bucks and its a great rate! Unfortunately the deal, this time, expired a couple of hours ago.

Yeah but they show up fairly regularly. And of course the bucks can always be used to purchase more Hyatt GCs, often at a discount. You should almost always be able to do 15% off and occasionally up to 20% off without too much effort.
I fully agree with you. I was just pointing out that you spoke of the current deal but it actually just ended.

Well, lets hope it regularly shows up on ebay after the 12/31. Nonetheless still good to stock up with hyatt gift cards when you can.
As mentioned though, be careful about stocking up. Lots of fraud on these cards unfortunately. Even from Hyatt.com. I think though that there is less fraud with physical cards that need to be scratched off to uncover the numbers.
I always buy them online, sometimes through Hyatt Fulfillment at a discount when I have a code and other times through ebay. Never had an issue, but I always get the physical cards.
