Official Entry Thread: 2 Lucky Winners Get a 2-Night Stay at Any Hyatt Place Hotel + Personal Assistant Services

As I described several days back, Hyatt is offering two of my readers a 2-night stay at any Hyatt Place and two months of personal assistant services from TaskUs.com.

This is the official entry thread. Regular readers know that Hyatt Gold Passport is a loyalty program that’s come a long way over the last year and currently offers one of the very best top tier experiences, and they’re promoting their limited service Hyatt Place brand as a great work-life balance. My own view is ‘more hotel properties is better’ even if Gold Passport Diamond status doesn’t get you as far at Hyatt Place as say at a Park Hyatt — but the less expensive hotels are a great way to requalify for status and earn Faster Free Nights credits when that promo is being offered.

To enter, just leave a comment in this thread! Any comment will do. One entry per person, please.

The contest will run through noon Eastern time on Monday, March 22. And two commenters will be selected at random as the winner. I’ll be traveling when the contest closes but it shouldn’t take long for me to announce who has won.

You have a pretty great shot of winning. I don’t have all that many readers, actually. And everyone can only enter once. So each entry’s odds are pretty darn good. Plus it’s easy to enter, you just have to leave a comment in this thread and make sure you’ve registered with a valid email address when leaving that comment so I can contact you if you win.

Here’s how the contest works. Everyone is welcome to enter the contest once. If you would like to win the free nights and personal assistant services, leave a comment in this official entry thread. You need to register to leave comments if you haven’t already, and in order to win need to use a valid email address so that I can provide your email address to Hyatt’s PR rep to contact you if you win.

While no doubt there are ways to circumvent the one entry per person rule, and some of those approaches might slip by my watchful eye, I’m going to ask eveyrone to simply honor my request. One entry per person, just leave a comment in the official entry thread post that you’d like the night.

Then after the conclusion of the contest I will use a random number generator to come up with the winning comment in the official entry post. And as long as that entry appears to be a unique entry (not duplicated by an additional entry), I’ll provide winner emails to Hyatt’s represenative to get in touch.

This is a giveaway, and the spirit is a generous one, I don’t want a lot of rules here. I ‘reserve the right’ to interpret the rules however makes the most sense to me, to determine if and when a winner is indeed eligible, and at what point a winner has abandoned their prize by not replying to my email that they’ve won. Those and all other interpretations are at my sole discreiton, I don’t want complaints or to be sued because I want to give away a free hotel night. Thank you for understanding!

And thanks in this, of course, go to Hyatt Hotels and Hyatt Place which made the giveaway to y’all possible!

(Separately, I understand there will be another giveaway run by Hyatt Place directly, a ‘second chance’ if you will — and I’ll let folks know when that website is up. But the best chance of winning will clearly be here on this blog!)

Gots to get my entry in

Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the state fair every year. Every year Stumpy would say, “Martha, I’d like to ride in that there airplane.”
And every year Martha would say, “I know Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.”

One year Stumpy and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy said, “Martha, I’m 71 years old. If I don’t ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance.”

Martha replied, “Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.”

The pilot overheard them and said, “Folks, I’ll make you a deal, I’ll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won’t charge you, but if you say one word it’s ten dollars.”

Stumpy and Martha agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They landed and the pilot turned to Stumpy, “By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn’t.”

Stumpy replied, “Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars.”

A piece of string walks in to a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry we don’t serve your kind here,” so the piece of string walks back out side, twists himself around and ruffles up one of his ends.

The string walks back in to the same bar and the barman says, “Hey, aren’t you that piece of string I just kicked out?”

The piece of string replies, “I’m a frayed knot.”

Reaching the end of a job interview, the human resources person asked a young engineer fresh out of MIT, “And what starting salary were you looking for?”

The engineer said, “In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”

The interviewer said, “Well, what would you say to a five-week vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching your retirement fund to 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?”

The young engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow! Are you kidding?”

The interviewer replied, “Yeah, but you started it.”

I’ve very fond of Hyatt Place. True, status doesn’t get you much, but the bed is miles better than most mid-tier properties (e.g. a Courtyard or Hilton Garden Inn), and net’s free. Hard to go wrong. Now if they’d just get better fitness centers.

Rob K said,

Based on the posted rules, it might not make any difference, but I’m typing this *right now* from within a Hyatt Place (Columbus/Dublin).

Curiously, the H-Place is actually more expensive than the average Priceline win at the Hyatt on Capitol Square in downtown Columbus, but parking is free and this is a better location for the wedding we’re attending. (Plus, no points if you do Priceline…

Gary, I follow the same strategy with Hyatt. Diamond status does not have many benefits at Hyatt Place, but earning Diamond through Hyatt Place was easy for me and gives me the bennies for the upscale properties
