I'll try and update this by next week.I think in Hyatt there's a way to "Request Missing Stay Credit". Have never used it, but by chance if you have booked Hyatt from aggregator, give it a try.
Can you elaborate on this, what is special agentAll Major chains only provide loyalty benefits if the booking is done directly with them. If you want to get good discounts like OTAs but want loyalty benefits like points and amenities then you can use special agents who can give you the best of both worlds.
I have had success booking Ramada by Wyndham on MakeMyTrip and still getting points and benefits but no other brands gives benefits with OTAs.
there are agents who have a tie up with the brand like Accor Step program, etc.. They give discounts n u get points for Ur spends also. But using of points gets restricted in some hotels.Can you elaborate on this, what is special agent

What difference it makes, Technically OTA(trip source) is also 3rd party booking for them.OTA partner gives them but MakeMyTrip like aggregators booking dont
OTA’s are more or less direct affiliates of respective chains (through their agent code) especially those who make corporate bookings. Many chains have explicit mention in their terms that corporate bookings through their registered affliates (depends upon the program) listed are eligible for status nights/tier calculation and respective benefits are applicable to them as well. Whereas aggregators or high volume OTA’s who deal with any & every chain and offer far more services are usually not eligible for the same.What difference it makes, Technically OTA(trip source) is also 3rd party booking for them.
Ok, nice information. Thanks for your inputs, I think this is what may have happened in my case, that's why I got points & status nights.OTA’s are more or less direct affiliates of respective chains (through their agent code) especially those who make corporate bookings.

For example this travel professionals portal of Accor explicitly asks for Loyalty card number for the client they are booking stay for

It’s good for corporates (mostly MNC’s who have these facilities) but not an open option for everyone.
