Hyatt just dropped some big news 👀 Starting May 20, the award chart is changing, and if you use points, this matters.
136 hotels are shifting categories — and 112 are going UP, which means many redemptions will cost more points. 💸
Book before May 20 if these are on your list:
🏨 Andaz 5th Avenue (7→8)
🏨 Hyatt Regency Aruba (7→8)
🏨 Hôtel du Louvre Paris (7→8)
🏨 Hyatt Regency Seattle (4→5)
🏨 Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress (4→5)
🏨 Alila Mayakoba (6→7)
Maybe wait until after May 20 for these:
⬇️ Hyatt Centric Downtown Denver (4→3)
⬇️ Andaz West Hollywood (6→5)
⬇️ The Standard, Singapore (5→4)
⬇️ Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen (4→3)
Pro tip: If you book by 9 AM ET on May 20, you lock in today’s rate.
If your hotel goes up, you win.
If it goes down, Hyatt says they’ll refund the points difference after the change.
Definitely worth checking your wishlist before the deadline. Which one would you book first? 👇
