"Best Available Rate"
 

For a time earlier today, the rates that had always been labelled as "Hyatt Daily Rate" were showing up as "Best Available Rate". Now it's back to "Hyatt Daily Rate" once more.

Seems odd that they would float a name change for an hour or so. I wonder if some kind of bigger change is in store?

Best Available Rate or "BAR" is a common hotel term. I would equate it to what Hyatt refers to as Hyatt Daily Rate. So I would see these terms being interchangeable with no real impact on the rates themselves..

for all hyatt hotels ?

may have been glitch between what is shown on hyatt.com and GDS/etc ?

I only checked Park Hyatt Tokyo and Grand Hyatt Tokyo.

It's back again.

Note that the terms and conditions still state:

"Hyatt Gold Passport Free Night Awards apply when standard rooms are available at the Hyatt Daily Rate. "

Now that there is no "Hyatt Daily Rate", they are technically under no obligation to offer award rooms at all!

Hyatt Concierge said it was a browser issue when I asked. That's weird.
