Dear Flyer Talk Members,
As you begin to plan your travel for summer and beyond, I wanted you to be the first Hyatt Gold Passport members to learn about some upcoming changes to the Hyatt Gold Passport Award Chart.
On June 4, 2010, the Hyatt Gold Passport Award Chart will change. Rest assured, we will continue to make redemption as easy as possible with no blackout dates. If we have a standard room available at any location on any day of the year, you’re more than welcome to reserve it with your Hyatt Gold Passport points.
Likewise, all existing award categories and their current point levels will not change. However, we will introduce a new Category 6, which will require 22,000 points and include only 20 properties in cities such as Moscow, Tokyo, Paris and New York.
Further, we will redistribute our hotels across the six award categories. This shift will include 65 hotels moving to a lower category and 89 hotels moving to a higher category (including the 20 that will move to Category 6).
In addition, existing award reservations for stays subsequent to June 4th will receive a refund for the point difference if the hotel moved to a lower category. We will also allow award reservations made by June 4th to be modified by September 2nd under the terms of the original award chart.
Additional details and a list of Frequently Asked Questions, will be posted on goldpassport.com on Thursday, April 28th U.S. CDT. We will notify you when the information is available on goldpassport.com.
We appreciate your continued support of Hyatt Gold Passport and look forward to welcoming you again very soon.
Warmest regards,
Karen Smith
