CHICAGO, IL -- Don't know what to get that person who has everything? Want to avoid the rush at the mall? Hyatt
Gift Certificates enable anyone to give a relaxing Hyatt stay for the holidays, and they can be purchased on the
Internet or via phone. Additionally, through December 31, 1999, for every $100 worth of certificates purchased,
gift-givers receive a free Holiday AT&T Phone Card, valid for 60 minutes of free calls. Or they can choose
to receive five bonus points in Hyatt's frequent guest program, Gold Passport, for every dollar spent on certificates.
In addition, this year Hyatt has added international hotels to its list of participating properties in its popular
Hyatt Stay and Check Certificate programs. Gift certificates may be ordered by visiting www.hyatt.com or by calling

Hyatt Weekend Certificates - Just in Time for the Holiday Season
Also new this year, Hyatt has added the ability to purchase weekend packages to its line-up of certificates. Hyatt
Weekend Certificates are redeemable at participating Hyatts in the Continental U.S. and Canada for weekend stays
of two or three nights and include a full breakfast for two each morning. No dollar value appears on the certificates
- so no matter which of the two available price levels is selected, the Hyatt Weekend Certificate communicates
maximum value. Price levels include the Select level at $298 for a two-night stay and $447 for a three-night stay;
and the Prestige level at $418 for a two-night stay and $627 for a three-night stay.
Hyatt Stay Certificates
Hyatt Stay Certificates are redeemable for stays at Hyatt hotels and resorts worldwide. Each certificate is available
in four-different price levels, depending on the type and selection of hotel and resort stays desired. Levels include
Classic, Choice, Premier and Elite for $99, $129, $159 and $249 per night, respectively. Through Hyatt Stay Certificates,
individuals can purchase any amount of room nights at participating Hyatt properties. Recipients of Hyatt Stay
Certificates also can choose the property where they wish to stay, at a date that is convenient for them, through
a special 1-800 reservation number.
Hyatt Check Certificates
This product allows individuals to purchase certificates redeemable for Hyatt services and denominations range
from $25 to $500. In addition to properties in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, Hyatt Check Certificates can
now be redeemed at Hyatt hotels and resorts worldwide. With Hyatt Check Certificates, individuals can create their
own gifts, giving any number of certificates for a wide variety of uses at Hyatt hotels and resorts including dining,
