And she confirmed the system is smart enough to pick the one that expires next. My mistake, lesson learnt.
An easy mistake to make since the Hyatt site doesn’t show you when/where an award has been redeemed, just the super high level available/redeemed count by expiration date. I end up keeping a separate spreadsheet tracking future stays that use awards and the corresponding award expiration dates and every so often I compare that vs expiration dates of unused awards. It’s been more of a hassle this year vs previous since there have been so many extra awards in the mix…. Which is not the worst problem to have.
