You need 3,000 Hyatt points to book a lowest award night in a standard room at a Category 1 Hyatt property. However, a lowest Category 1 night could cost just 1,500 Hyatt points plus a cash copay if you book a Points + Cash rate.
On May 20, World of Hyatt implemented its annual category changes and new award charts with five tiers (instead of three). With this change in tiers, award nights for a specific property now vary depending on whether they're lowest, low, moderate, upper or top. Let's take a closer look at each of the Hyatt award charts.
You can book standard awards, including Points + Cash awards, online. When these rates are available, you'll see them when you check the "Use Points" box before searching.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
