I’m Giving Away (2) Prizes of 2 Free Hyatt Nights Each

Hyatt has been on a tear for the last year, figuring out how to add more value for members, especially elite members and frequent guests. Honestly, I haven’t seen anything like it in years.

Last year they pioneered free internet for elites, at the same time they (1) lifted capacity controls on award nights — if there’s a standard room available, it’s available on points, matching Starwood’s redemption proposition and (2) offered confirmed at booking suite upgrades for their Diamond members four times a year.

I wish there were more Hyatt properties, because over the last 12 months they’ve clearly been offering the best value proposition of any hotel chain.

They also continue to bring back the richest bonus promotion in the hotel industry. I will always call it “Faster Free Nights” but thehy call it The Big Welcome Back: a free night anywhere in the world for every two Hyatt stays made by June 30, with free nights valid for use by August 31.

Starwood and Hilton have their own free night promos, Hilton takes 4 stays or 10 nights for a freebie though they offer a longer redemption period, and Starwood takes 3 stays rather than two and only lets you use the award nights on the weekend. I do consider Hyatt’s to be the benchmark bonus in the industry.

For about 12 months I’ve been saying that it’s time to tkae a hard look at Hyatt to see if you can make it work for your stay pattern. And they’re making it especially easy to do that, since for all of 2010 they’re offering instant platinum status and fast track to Diamond status — just 15 nights in 2010 for Diamond status through February 2012.

So I was thrilled when Hyatt offered to let me give away two sets of Hyatt Place free night packages. They offered me a package as well for myself but instead of keeping it I decided to give it away on Twitter instead. (I admit, I’m more of a luxury hotels guy than a Hyatt Place, though I don’t mind accruing Big Welcome Back nights with mattress runs at Hyatt Place properties or Summerfield Suites and redeeming them at Park Hyatts…)

And now it gets even better: my contact has now offered me two sets of two free Big Welcome Back nights to give away! So here it is.

Two chances to win:

Preferably your comment would speculate on which Hyatt you’d like to redeem your nights at if you win.

2. You can also follow me on Twitter.

I will draw two winners at random from the pool made up of Twitter followers and people who leave a comment on this post. You can enter via either method or both.

The free nights, being Big Welcome Back nights, expire August 31.

Comment here, follow me, or both by noon Eastern time on Sunday, April 25 for a chance to win!

By way of full disclosure, like with the Hyatt Place night giveaway, they’ve offered me a couple of nights for myself. Guess what? Those I’m not offering up, I plan to use them though I will probably need to top off with a few more to make a really nice redemption trip.

If the question is where I’d use the Hyatt Place free night, the answer is one of the Hyatt Places in my former hometown of Richmond, Va. If the question is where I’d use the Big Welcome Back free nights, I’d stay at the Hyatt Regency Boston since it’s so close to the Boston Common and I haven’t had a chance to hang in Boston for a long time.

Amazing Larry said,

Hyatt Regency Aruba would be it!
Amy said,

Grand Hyatt Guangzhou.

Grand Hyatt Singapore for me please!

Pick me, Asia most likely.

PH Chicago or GH NYC
Chris Willis said,

As boring as it might sound, there is actually a Hyatt Place hotel in Chesapeake VA, about a mile from where my family lives. Winning this contest would literally save Christmas for me, my family and my wife. Staying at the house means overcrowding, shared bathrooms, and entirely too much “family time.” Being just a short ride away opens up new levels of holiday freedom, which we would all appreciate.
Alex said,

Park Hyatt Tokyo! Thanks!
Henry said,

Park Hyatt in Sydney, so I can visit some friends
Dan said,

Don’t cry for me Argentina…definitely Buenos Aires for me
Menach said,

Mark White said,

Big money… stop!
nbdona said,

Hyatt Regency Boston sounds nice
Kristal said,

I’m heading to grad school in the fall and will be living on a tiny stipend, so I fear that Paris is sadly out of the question. I would most likely use these to host my mother when she comes to visit me in Charlotte. A nice treat for her as I remind myself that Paris will be there in two years.

Thanks for the offer, Gary!
Henry said,

I’d love to think about taking my beautiful wife to some amazing destination, but with the two little ones, it would be enough just to get to Denver…
jjgollum said,

Paris Hyatt all the way. Heard great things.
Ann said,

PH DC
Hamurabi2008 said,

Park Hyatt Paris with my s/o
T&S off to South Africa said,

My vote is for the Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort & Spa in George, South Africa. I would drink Mimosa’s at sunrise gazing over the Indian Ocean and savor the sunsets with my husband. I haven’t golfed in years, but while there will take a multitude of lessons. I can say I learned to play golf in South Africa…now how cool is that. And I’m sure the spa will work all the soreness away. Of course I’ll need a few days to work on my tan at the yummy pool…..Now wouldn’t that be a wonderful anniversary present for my husband and I.
platypus said,

I would like to redeem my miles in Sydney, but I would likely redeem them in Stamford, CT so that it wouldn’t cost me anything to attend a wedding this Summer.
David said,

Please pick me, all knowing random number generator. The Chesapeake Bay Hyatt awaits me.
yosithezet said,

Jean said,

Thanks! I would love to be in London, UK. Haven’t been in a Hyatt for quite a while, but had one small quibble. I love to make a pot of coffee first thing in the morning, and they are the only chain hotel I have encountered that did not have a coffee maker. Or was the Vancouver Hyatt an exception?
Hedgefundie said,

Park Hyatt Chicago

My husband and I would love to celebrate our Anniversary at the Hyatt in Newport, RI.

Norma Jean Macosko said,

Would dearly LOVE to have 2 free nights at Hyatt’s Hill Country Resort. Then I could upgrade our room, have more space for all the kids, and even manage some spa time for mom! (Does any mother ever REALLY get a vacation?) Now, THAT would be something to look forward to.

LewisF said,

Who’d a thought there were two Lewiss? It’s rare to encounter another one. I put the initial of my last name to differentiate. And I’ve stayed at the Park Hyatt in SF, a cut above the regular one.

I would dearly love to return to the one in Milano. Heaven near the best gelato I’ve had.

I’d love to do the tango in the courtyard of the Buenos Aires Hyatt.
