Summary
World of Hyatt is making changes to its program, including a new five-tier award night redemption system. The Points Guy’s Clint Henderson and Andrea M. Rotondo share their wishes for the program, including more ways to earn points, the ability to top off free night awards with points, and the ability to waive peak pricing award rates. They also hope to see the lounge network grow and the benefits of unlimited waived resort fees and free parking continue.

The escape is carefully planned.
Hyatt’s changes to its program may affect how you plan your stays. While some changes, like the new five-tier award night redemption system, may make it harder to book certain hotels, there are still ways to maximize your points. Consider transferring points from Chase or Bilt, or using a credit card that earns World of Hyatt points. And don’t forget to take advantage of perks like unlimited waived resort fees and free parking.
Some hotels, like the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome, may require more points for a free night, but with the right strategy, you can still book a luxurious stay. And who knows, maybe Hyatt will introduce new promotions or benefits to make up for the changes.
One thing’s for sure: with the right approach, you can still have a great experience with World of Hyatt.
And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good lounge?
