Hyatt's New 5-Tier Award Pricing Structure Is Now Live

Hyatt's new dynamic award chart is live, replacing the old fixed chart with five pricing tiers: Lowest, Low, Moderate, High, and Top. Some properties have shifted to higher categories, increasing point costs for standard and peak nights

What happened

Lowest: 35,000 points (new tier)
Low: Replaces old "Standard" rate (e.g., 35k to 45k for some dates)
Moderate: Replaces old "Standard" rate (e.g., 40k to 55k for some dates)
High: Replaces old "Peak" rate (e.g., 45k to 65k)
Top: 75,000 points (new tier) While 24 properties have moved to a lower category, 112 have shifted to a higher category. Initial analysis of specific properties shows mixed results: some stays are cheaper (e.g., Hyatt Regency Orlando dropped from 58k to 60k, Story Hotel Stockholm dropped from 18k to 15k), while others have seen significant increases (e.g., Gild Hall jumped from 80k to 110k, The Beekman from 63k to 75k). The shift represents a devaluation for many standard and peak night redemptions
