In 2024, Hyatt announced award category changes across its hotels. The new categories will take effect on March 26. If you booked a hotel before and its category is going down, meaning it now requires fewer points, remember to rebook it. If the category is going up, you can just leave it alone—there is no need to pay additional points. If you have not booked yet, compare the old chart and the new chart to see which one requires fewer points, then decide whether to book before or after March 26.

Overall, 137 hotels will require more points, while 46 will require fewer.
