World of Hyatt pointsFixed category chart

Last updated

Category-based award chart (Categories 1–8). Hyatt RESTRUCTURED the chart on 20 May 2026 to a five-tier per-category model (Lowest / Low / Moderate / Upper / Top), which raised most prices; we are re-compiling the current values and have removed the superseded chart rather than show outdated numbers.

This program uses a fixed category chart — the points-per-night table is being compiled and verified.

Getting value from World of Hyatt points

  • On a fixed category chart, the best cents-per-point usually comes from redeeming at top-category hotels in peak demand, where the cash rate is highest but the points price is capped.
  • Compare every redemption against the cash price with the points vs cash tool so you only spend points when they beat paying cash.
  • Elite status, member rates and free-night perks can shift the maths — factor in any benefits you hold with World of Hyatt before deciding.

Frequently asked

How does World of Hyatt price a free night?
World of Hyatt uses a fixed category chart: each hotel sits in a category, and each category has a set points-per-night price. That means you can see the points cost before you book.
Do World of Hyatt points expire?
Most hotel loyalty points lapse after a period of account inactivity rather than on a fixed date, so a single earning or redeeming transaction usually resets the clock. Confirm the current rule directly with World of Hyatt.
