If you book this way you can easily apply (1) SUA for the entirety of the stay.

I ended up burning (2) for a stay of (3) nights + (2) Nights all consecutive same hotel, same room type booked because of the Category change.
Was told they could merge them and it would cost me the full points difference (25k) or I could use (2) SUA’s I used (2) for the stay. This was what MHC told me, but other MHC’s jump through hoops for their loyal Globalists so maybe yours is a good one.

If you’re a Globalist just ask MHC and see what they say.

In the absence of an assigned concierge you could also try calling the number from App > Contact > Globalist line, or Twitter/X DM to @ HyattConcierge

Add one day to my reservation
I booked a hotel room for 10 days at Hyatt few months ago, I'll stay there next month. The daily price is about $300.
I need to stay 1 day earlier, the current price is $310. I tried to modify my reservation, I expected the first day is $310, and the original 10 days would stay at $300 each day.
After adding 1 more day, now it shows $310 for all 11 days. It doesn't make sense to me.
Is this Hyatt's normal way for modification?
Thanks!

What most here would do or recommend is just to book a separate reservation for the first night at whatever the going rate is which will keep your original reservation at the rate you booked.

Yes - I feel like this happens with most hotels. When you modify you’re essentially rebooking at the current rate.
