Depending on the hotel chain, you may have encountered room rates soaring into the millions of points per night. Or worse, there is no availability whatsoever. Until now, the best method of searching for hotel award space was skimming <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/ihg-one-rewards\/ihg-award-calendar-search\/\" rel=\"noopener\">flexible date calendars<\/a>. Unfortunately, this method often requires a significant time investment and can still leave you without a good option.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, a new website was launched with the goal of simplifying this process: MaxMyPoint. Although it's not available for all hotel programs, it does cover notable ones like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/world-of-hyatt\/\" rel=\"noopener\">World of Hyatt<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/ihg-one-rewards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IHG One Rewards<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/marriott-bonvoy\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Marriott Bonvoy<\/a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/hilton-honors\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hilton Honors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let's take a look at MaxMyPoint, how it works for finding hotel award availability, how much it costs, and the best aspects of this website.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#What_Does_MaxMyPoint_Do\">What Does MaxMyPoint Do?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_Much_Does_MaxMyPoint_Cost\">How Much Does MaxMyPoint Cost?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Using_MaxMyPoint_for_Your_Hotel_Award_Search\">Using MaxMyPoint for Your Hotel Award Search<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Setting_Alerts_on_MaxMyPoint\">Setting Alerts on MaxMyPoint<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Max_FHR\">Max FHR<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#The_Bottom_Line\">The Bottom Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"What_Does_MaxMyPoint_Do\">What Does MaxMyPoint Do?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/maxmypoint.com\" rel=\"noopener\">MaxMyPoint<\/a> is a simply designed website that provides real-time award availability at hotels within the Marriott Bonvoy, IHG One Rewards, Hilton Honors, and World of Hyatt portfolios.
