Hyatt is sending emails to Hyatt Leverage account holders requesting tax IDs, website links, and employee counts to verify business eligibility for the SME discount program

## Summary

Hyatt has begun auditing its Hyatt Leverage program, which offers small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) 5% to 15% off rates. The hotel chain is now requiring account holders to provide a company website link, a tax ID number (or regional equivalent), and answers to questions regarding employee count, affiliation verification, primary business travel reasons, and top five travel destinations. This is a shift from previous years where such detailed verification was not required. Maintaining eligibility is crucial for members to continue receiving the program's primary benefit: 2 elite qualifying nights for every $5,000 spent
