Dear Flyertalkers,

On August 1, 2016, we will implement changes to the Hyatt Gold Passport® Award Chart. The changes will include 56 hotels moving to a lower category and 50 hotels moving to a higher category. A complete list of changes will be available on http://hyatthotels.hyatt.com/content...t-updates.html .

When you book before August 1, 2016, your bookings can be made using the current award chart. Existing reservations for stays after August 1, 2016, will receive a refund for the point difference if the hotel moved to a lower category.

Rest assured, free night award redemption will still be as easy as possible with no blackout dates. If there is a standard room available at any location on any day of the year, you are more than welcome to reserve it with your Hyatt Gold Passport points.
