From my testing it appears 7 nights is the new minimum requirement to book with points. I don't have 175k points to book this, is there any way I can get a Hyatt rep to book this for me for 3 nights using points as that is the length of time I planned to stay there for?

Anyone can also book with a Virtuoso travel agent with benefits as below. Often there is also a free night offer too (6-for-5). If you don’t have an agent, feel free to PM me.
- Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
- Daily buffet breakfast, for up to two in room guests, served in Ka'ana Kitchen
- $100 USD Equivalent Spa Services credit, to be utilized during stay (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability
For this trip for Andaz specifically, using Visa Infinte, I have these perks:
- $75 USD dining credit (not available for Morimoto)
- $25 USD food or beverage credit (not available for Morimoto)
- Complimentary buffet breakfast daily
- Best available rate guarantee
- Automatic room upgrade upon arrival, when available
- Complimentary in-room Wi-Fi, when available

The perks for 2018 are as price123 wrote. The spa credit isn't for everyone so perhaps your Visa card offer is a good route for 2018.
The promo for Sunshine on Sale is a stay 6 pay 5 with the Virtuoso perks included. That sometimes changes thru the year or is blacked out depending.

Hello, I know this must have been covered in this gigantic thread, so apologies in advance for repeating old questions. I am trying to book a 4 night stay using the 7 night book and cancel trick for the Andaz Maui but the only available award room is the 2 queen room. I am going with my SO and would like to know if I will be able to get a King bed for that award booking? Also, are there any options to upgrade to Ocean View or Ocean Front rooms for cash on a points redemption? Thank you for your time and help.

When I was there I received no upgrade as Globalist and was in a parking lot view room. It was very dissapointed but overall I wasnt expecting much from this property that games hardcore against WOH members.

Most likely, but make sure to include the request in the reservation and also email the property some days before arriving.

My first stay here was maybe 30% off or something insane, thanks to gift cards.

Before I could book my award nights, it looks like they changed the minimum stay requirement back to 10 nights (was 7 night minimum a few weeks ago). Since I will probably use the points this year on other Hyatt properties, it wasn't the worst thing but still, having to transfer over 250,000 points to book a 4 night stay....
