A heads up for our upcoming hopefully 2026 RA/AMB DO
About IHG award availability in calender form, i just found out via the Hyatt forum of the handy:
https://maxmypoint.com
Which can display IHG award availability, amount of points needed in an easy calender format.
And for those whom are obsessive about cpm / cpp / valuations set by bloggers / ROI, it shows points vs $ pricing
* it doesn't seem to do all IHG hotels but mostly the popular ones
To illustrate with my own hotel IC AMS for AUG 2024
PSST: the actually secret technique of darkness is to evaluate which weekends have rooms available on points which can increase the possibility of using the BOGO
My experience with IC AMS is that if there are no more award rooms left to book on points in a weekend, means no possibility to use BOGO
It might work different with other IC-hotels though

)
And the orginal thread:
Look for more hotels to add to a tool to track Hyatt hotel rewards availability
So now we can all start planning to plan a location for RA/AMB DO and nab the award rooms ASAP
