Just make 2 back to back reservations
And I would suggest calling their reservations line. I used my two free nights at the Grand Hyatt Washington, two weekends ago. Tried to get three nights booked on-line. I was not able to get the three nights available, it kept running into some sort of sequencing problem beyond two nights, so I called reservations. The CSR did some juggling of nights to make sure I paid for the least expensive night, got all three in the booking, using the two free nights, same room of course. Reserved it on the Hyatt card of course, and on the night of check in, a $550 some authorization notice came across my Chase mobile app for the stay.
I had signed up for some sort of 3,000 point booking promotion a while ago, so I have earned 1,100 points for the paid night, 3,000 points for the bonus offer. These already posted to my Hyatt loyalty account.
But the thing is, when I checked out, the desk clerk said "I see you are using your free nights". I had not charged anything to the room, had not eaten in the hotel restaurant, so he didn't offer to print a receipt, and I did not think to ask.
As of now, nearly two weeks later, there is still no charge on my Chase Hyatt account for the paid room. I'm waiting for it to show up, but until then.... Winning!
My charges from the essex house in NYC (granted they were all just incidental charges, but still) took something like 2 weeks to show up on my credit card. I was getting hopeful.
The FDC might have misread the booking and seen "Free nights" and just never charged you, but it will most likely come back at some point, most likely when they go through month end for september, which may not be until mid to late october (or later depending on the efficiency of their accounting dept). lol.
