But even World of Hyatt’s transparency is adjusted regularly. Each year, it changes its award chart, moving some hotels to a higher category (charging more points) and dropping others to a lower category (requiring fewer points for an award redemption).
These changes take effect May 20, 2026, so you’ll need to act fast if you want to get these good deals before they require more points. Here are some of the popular properties that are going to higher categories and charging more points for a redemption stay.
1. Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort, Orlando
After May 20, you’ll need 15,000-35,000 points for a standard room.
2. Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino
The hotel’s spa and indoor swimming pool are standout features, occupying an entire floor of the property. The rooftop pool offers a relaxing retreat with stunning views of the Acropolis in the distance, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing. While some properties are moving up in category for redemption, there are also several popular hotels, like Andaz West Hollywood and Park Hyatt Sanya Sunny Bay Resort, that are going down a category. Despite the changes in redemption requirements, World of Hyatt still provides an award chart to help travelers plan their stays more effectively.
