Hyatt elites: 13-month award booking is now your exclusive. Book the hard stuff.

World of Hyatt now restricts the 13-month advance booking window for free night awards to Explorist, Globalist, and primary cardholders only. This gives you a one-month head start on award inventory at properties like the Grand Hyatt Kauai (55,000 points per night) and Park Hyatt Paris. After recent devaluations and dynamic pricing, this early access is a meaningful perk for those with status or the card.

The play: Use your Hyatt status or cobranded card to book peak-demand award nights 13 months out before the general member window opens.
