Summary
Hyatt is introducing significant changes to its World of Hyatt loyalty program, including a new five-level award redemption system and increased pricing for top-tier hotels. The changes will take effect in May, with seven hotels shifting categories immediately. Elite members and credit card holders will receive early access to award night availability, and points will be easier to share digitally. No changes are being made to credit card benefits.

The escape is carefully planned.
Hyatt’s new award chart will feature five redemption zones, with the “Top” tier pricing significantly higher than the old “Peak” pricing. Category 8 properties could cost up to 75,000 points per night, while lower-tier properties may see price drops. Elite members and credit card holders will get early access to award night availability, and points will be easier to share digitally.
Hyatt’s award chart is getting more complicated, but it’s still a fixed chart. For now.
