Finding hotel award availability can be surprisingly frustrating \u2014 especially at high-demand properties where standard rooms disappear quickly. Flexible-date calendars can help, but they still require searching manually. That\u2019s especially true if you\u2019re watching multiple hotels, trying to piece together a longer stay, or hoping an award night opens at a property that rarely has bookable space.<\/p>\n

MaxMyPoint makes that process much easier by tracking hotel award availability across major programs, including World of Hyatt, IHG One Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy, and Hilton Honors. It can show availability trends, compare points rates against cash prices, and alert you when award space opens up.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how MaxMyPoint works, what it costs, and when it can be worth using for your next hotel award search.<\/p>\n

What Does MaxMyPoint Do?<\/span><\/h2>\n

MaxMyPoint<\/a> is a simply designed website that tracks award availability at hotels within the World of Hyatt<\/a>, IHG One Rewards<\/a>, Marriott Bonvoy<\/a>, and Hilton Honors<\/a> portfolios.<\/p>\n

The basic premise is this: You search by hotel chain, specific property, or location for which you'd like to see availability, and then the website highlights the most popular points hotels within those parameters<\/p>\n

Once you select a property, you'll see the percentage of rooms with award availability (during the calendar year) and the average redemption rate per 10,000 points redeemed at the property. The site also allows you to set an alert for when availability opens up.<\/p>\n

This is incredibly helpful for those sought-after properties since the site tells you at a glance how likely you are to find a room.<\/p>\n

How Much Does MaxMyPoint Cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n

MaxMyPoint offers three membership levels. The good news is that the website is absolutely free for anyone to use, and you can even get hotel award alerts without a fee. However, if you're looking at a variety of properties or you'd like to use some of the more advanced features, you'll need to pay. Here's the breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
