Hyatt very recently offered a WoH CC points rebate promo, despite being before peak pricing. https://upgradedpoints.com/news/worl...emption-bonus/

Also, the cost for Hyatt to reimburse hotels has little to do with the point cost and much more to do with occupancy and ADR.

From Gary: “However in no case is a hotel paid based on the number of points you’re charged for a room.”

Peak pricing is more about reducing the outstanding WoH points balance for Hyatt than it is about being “eager to cut its costs for payouts to the hotels for awards stays”
