As I mentioned in a previous post, today is the last day to book Hyatt awards before changes go into effect tomorrow, May 20, 2026. Currently, each Hyatt award category has Off-Peak, Standard and Peak levels. The changes that start on May 20 will include 5 levels:
- Lowest
- Low
- Moderate
- Upper
- Top
In addition, there are 112 hotels shifting to a higher category. Any awards you book today before these changes will be honored at the lower prices.
I did book one hotel today in Asia for my son’s trip this winter. It’s a Category 2 hotel currently in the “Peak” price of 9500 points. Starting tomorrow, it could cost as much as 15,000 points. So, I’m locking it in at the lower price.
Are you booking any Hyatt award stays today?
