New Off-Peak and Peak Redemption Rates 2020 For World of Hyatt Award Chart

New off-peak and peak redemption rates will be added to the World of Hyatt award chart effective as of March of 2020 for greater than 1,000 hotel and resort properties worldwide; and the standard redemption rates in the current award chart remain.

New Off-Peak and Peak Redemption Rates 2020 For World of Hyatt Award Chart

If you have an upcoming redemption stay, the standard rate still applies. If you need to change your reservation after the new redemption rates become effective as of March of 2020, you will receive the available redemption rate when you rebook your reservation…

…and if you have already booked an existing award reservation which drops to off-peak in March of 2020, you will get an automatic one-time refund of the difference in the number of points which are redeemed for your award.

In the new award charts for the redemption of World of Hyatt points which are presented later in this article, the percentage column applies for both off-peak and peak redemption of World of Hyatt points when compared to the standard redemption of World of Hyatt points: for example, 12,000 points for an off-peak award night at a Category 4 hotel property is a 20 percent discount when compared to 15,000 points for a standard award night; while 15,000 points for a peak award night at a Category 3 hotel property is a 25 percent premium when compared to 12,000 points for a standard award night.

Put another way, the best value is for off-peak award nights at Category 1 hotel properties, with which you will save 30 percent on the number of points redeemed versus the standard award night; while at 12.50 percent on the number of points redeemed, the lowest premium for peak award nights applies to Category 8 hotel properties versus the standard award night.

Redemption rates for award nights will be announced as soon as nights are available for reservations — usually 13 months in advance — and will not change once they are posted. Additionally, a new calendar — which is coming soon — will help you plan the redemption of your World of Hyatt points for your award.

Free Night Awards

Enjoy free nights in standard rooms at Hyatt hotel and resort properties — with no blackout dates — and participating Small Luxury Hotels of the World or at participating M life Rewards destinations.

The current award chart shows that you can only redeem points for Standard Room points per night at Category 8 hotel and resort properties. The new award charts introduce the point redemption amounts per night for Category 8 hotel and resort properties for Regency/Grand Club, Standard Suite, and Premium Suite awards.

Summary

Not much may have been said about the new redemption rates because they are not in effect yet; but one thing is for certain: aspirational hotel and resort properties will certainly be more expensive during peak periods; and those Hyatt Place hotel properties in East Squeedonk, Idaho or Moron, North Dakota will only cost you 3,500 World of Hyatt points per night in January…

…but exactly when peak periods and off-peak periods occur will depend on each individual hotel or resort property; and you will not know for certain unless you invest time and effort into doing the research yourself for your future stay.

Welcome to another entrant in the world of dynamic pricing, as illustrated by past articles written by me and posted here at The Gate — and expect other frequent travel loyalty programs to follow suit in their typical lemming style:
