However should you exclude the three properties that moved classes on Might 20, you’ll be able to nonetheless get hold of a valuation near our Might 2026 valuation of World of Hyatt factors. Plus, understand that these 19 properties is probably not consultant of the whole World of Hyatt portfolio.
What number of nights are at every pricing tier earlier than and after the modifications?
We have been additionally fascinated by understanding what number of nights annually could be at every degree below the brand new five-tier pricing, particularly given the upper award charges within the Higher and High tiers.
If most nights within the calendar out of the blue jumped from Commonplace within the pre-Might 20 award pricing to Higher or High within the new award pricing, that might be trigger for concern and an enormous devaluation. Fortunately, that is not what we’re seeing on the properties we thought-about. (Since Hyatt has totally different tiers for its all-inclusive properties, we have left these three motels off right here.)

In reality, the info reveals that there are only a few nights on the new, most costly High pricing, and even the marginally cheaper Higher pricing does not seem typically. For many properties, the earlier Peak pricing largely shifts to the brand new Average charges, which carry roughly the identical factors value in most classes.
The Grand Hyatt Kauai, Grand Hyatt Vail and Andaz Prague are the three properties on our listing which have probably the most nights moved to the Higher and/or High costs.
Backside line
World of Hyatt’s new five-tier award chart raised the price of redemptions at 19 standard properties by roughly 10%, however the scale of the change varies significantly throughout the portfolio. The excellent news is that the costliest High-tier pricing is utilized sparingly, and for almost all of properties, what was beforehand Peak pricing has largely migrated to Average reasonably than to the brand new Higher band.
Throughout the 19 properties we analyzed with Gondola, common level values have slipped to 1.57 cents, beneath TPG’s Might 2026 valuation of 1.65 cents for World of Hyatt factors. That’s nonetheless a decent return on the proper property.
This system retains nice worth, and savvy members who store across the calendar will discover that the majority of what made World of Hyatt a terrific loyalty program nonetheless holds.
Gondola is a free lodge search and direct reserving platform for frequent vacationers, making it straightforward to match money and factors charges throughout manufacturers whereas incomes as much as an additional 7% money again.
