After a series of devaluations, there is finally some more positive news to report from World of Hyatt, at least if you are among select members.
World of Hyatt credit cardholders and mid- and top-tier elites can now book their World of Hyatt free night awards up 13 months in advance, including at desirable hotels that often don't have much award availability.
As you can see in the screenshots below, since I have Hyatt Globalist status, I can snag the hard-to-book Grand Hyatt Kauai in Hawaii in August of next year for 55,000 World of Hyatt points per night. Hyatt flags that I have special access as a top-tier elite: "As a Globalist, you're among select members who get a first look at award night inventory. You can view and book award nights one month sooner."
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
