Major changes are coming to the World of Hyatt loyalty program<\/a><\/span> in the next few months, Hyatt confirmed with TPG, including the biggest update to its award chart since peak and off-peak pricing were introduced in 2021<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n No, the program is not transitioning to full-on dynamic pricing. But the overhaul does involve a more complicated system for redeeming points that will go into effect this May. So, start thinking through what awards you can book now in order to avoid possibly higher pricing in a few months.<\/p>\n Starting in May, the World of Hyatt award chart will ditch its three-tier system of off-peak, standard and peak pricing in favor of a new five-level model with the following redemption zones:<\/p>\n World of Hyatt’s chart will still consist of eight hotel categories, though the new stretched pricing structures will significantly change award pricing, as shown below.<\/p>\n Hyatt has separate award charts for its all-inclusive resorts and Miraval properties. Both of these charts will also expand to five redemption rates.<\/p>\n 1 of 2<\/p>\n HYATT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There’s a lot to take away from these changes, including the potential for some significant price increases at the top end of the spectrum.<\/p>\n For example, Category 8 properties could now cost as much as 75,000 World of Hyatt points per night in the “Top” segment, a nearly 67% increase from the old “Peak” pricing of 45,000 points per night. So if you have your eye on in-demand resorts like the recently renovated Park Hyatt Beaver Creek<\/a><\/span> or the beach-chic Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo<\/a><\/span> at peak times like around school holidays, you’d better start strategizing how you’ll rack up all the extra points you will need once these changes take effect.<\/p>\n But it’s not just Category 8 that’s affected; all categories will see at least a 30% increase on the most expensive nights, with the “Top” night awards in Category 2 and Category 5 both increasing by over 50% from the current “Peak” pricing.<\/p>\n Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\nNew award night redemption tiers<\/h2>\n
