However, the Hyatt website rate for an Ocean View Regency Club is only $366.75.

Why is it cheaper to not use my points?

My dates are 12/9-12/10.

Thanks!
The Hyatt Regency Waikki Beach Resort & Spa is running a special during those dates, called the Advance Purchase rate. The rate is full pre-payment, non refundable. The 3,000 point upgrade to the regency club is based on the hotel's prevailing rate for that night. With the 3,000 point upgrade, a credit card is required to hold the room, without a pre-payment and you can cancel by 3PM HST 72 hours prior to arrival.
