Hyatt adjusts these categories annually. Some hotels move down but more often they move up and naturally require more points per night.<\/p>\n<p>For those with the <a data-ccid=\"4048116\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/TheWorldOfHyattCreditCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">World of Hyatt Card<\/a>, the most painful moves are when hotels jump from Category 4 to 5, moving them out of reach of Category 1-4 Hyatt free night awards.<\/p>\n<p>We typically see these changes each March. We do not yet know which properties will be moving categories for 2026. This announcement from Hyatt is planned for sometime in April. Once changes are announced, members will have a short window to lock in stays at properties moving to Category 5 before they become ineligible for free night awards.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Hyatt8217s_new_five-tier_award_pricing\">Hyatt's new five-tier award pricing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In February 2026, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/world-of-hyatt\/new-award-charts\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyatt announced a shakeup<\/a> of its pricing tiers within each category. Starting in May of 2026, there will be five pricing tiers: Lowest, Low, Moderate, Upper, and Top. These will replace the previous three tiers within each category. So, although Hyatt is sticking to award charts, points pricing can vary widely within each category.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that your free night award can be used at any Category 4 property, regardless of the points price. These awards will be particularly valuable at Category 4 properties on nights that have the new &#8220;Upper&#8221; or &#8220;Top&#8221; tier pricing, making them worth up to 25,000 points.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Favorite_Hotels_To_Redeem_a_Hyatt_Free_Night_Certificate\">Our Favorite Hotels To Redeem a Hyatt Free Night Certificate<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Below, we've included a variety of hotel types and destinations \u2014 from family-friendly hot spots to luxury destinations \u2014 where AwardWallet users have gotten outsized value at Category 1-4 properties.
