Decoding HYATT *INCIDENTAL HOLD
Unreviewed registry note: Seeing HYATT *INCIDENTAL HOLD on your bank or credit card statement indicates a temporary pre-authorization hold processed by Hyatt Hotels Corporation. This billing descriptor appears when you check into a Hyatt property, such as a Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Andaz, or Hyatt Place location. Hotels place temporary security holds on cards during check-in to cover potential incidental expenses like room service, mini-bar purchases, spa treatments, valet parking, or resort fees.
Unreviewed registry note: The appearance of this hold on your statement is triggered automatically upon your arrival at the hotel front desk or when using digital check-in features via the World of Hyatt app. This is not an actual finalized charge or withdrawal, but rather a temporary freeze placed on a portion of your credit line or bank account balance. Once you check out and your final room folio is settled, any remaining hold amount is released by the hotel and typically drops off your account within three to five business days.
Unreviewed registry note: To verify the status of the hold, log into your World of Hyatt account or review your digital stay folio to ensure all charges are accurate. If the pending hold remains on your account longer than a week after checkout, you can contact the hotel front desk directly to request a manual release. Keep in mind that banks cannot dispute pending authorization holds until the transaction officially posts and clears.
- Review World of Hyatt Folio Unreviewed registry note: Log into hyatt.com or the World of Hyatt mobile app to view your digital stay statement.

- Verify Resort Amenities Unreviewed registry note: Resort destination fees ($25 to $50/night) are incorporated into your final checkout bill.
