Any tips for negotiating room blocks on the points front? Getting married in March and trying to work with a few Hyatt properties on a room block - hoping to bag some points as part of the deal if I go with them.

Not familiar with Hyatt, but Marriott properties usually have a sales person for big reservations that can throw in points as part of the negotiation. A nonprofit I volunteer with was organizing a conference and got a room block for the participants. Our Marriott rep included 300k points in the contract for after the event, and the nonprofit used them to cover staff travel in the weeks afterward. I would think Hyatt would be willing to offer something similar?

Helpful, thanks!
