Use Hyatt Free Anniversary Nights for Category 5 Hotel?
Mrs. Middle_Seat and I each have qualified for a Hyatt Anniversary Award Night, and they both expire Oct. 31. According to the T&Cs, they are usable in Cat 1-4 hotels and evidently can't be used for anything else.
We plan to spend a couple of nights on Maui before that date, but the two Hyatts there are Cat 5 and Cat 6.
Are there any workarounds so we can gain some usage from these? I have 24K Hyatt points, but it's unclear if they can be thrown into the mix.
Thank you.
