What your points are worth
Hyatt is the last big US hotel program with a published award chart. Since May 20, 2026, each of its eight categories has five price levels (Lowest, Low, Moderate, Upper and Top) instead of three, so the same hotel can cost noticeably more on busy dates. The value comes from expensive hotels in low categories and from booking on Lowest or Low dates.

| 25,000 | $500 |
| 50,000 | $1,000 |
