Booking with Points (RE: Website changes?)

Is there some sort of miracle to see in a search which hotels are available for booking with points? There used to be a toggle button to show all in the search string, but that apparently has disappeared. Going into each hotel is a nightmare.

Anyone figured out the new "best" way?

Id post this in the "hyatt's website sucks" thread, but Im afraid it might get lost cause the websites perpetually broken.

hotelhustle.com shows hotels that are available for a specific night. You can narrow its results to just Hyatt.

Thanks for making it harder to sort my search results, Hyatt.
