I’ve recently gotten into travel rewards, so my main goal is just to use points to avoid paying for hotels rather than focusing on luxury stays. I usually prefer boutique or mid-range hotels, often under $275 per night, including properties from Hyatt’s Mr & Mrs Smith partnerships. I’ve never really planned to transfer points specifically for high-end luxury resorts or premium chains.
I’m trying to understand how a possible devaluation in the Hyatt Hotels Corporation loyalty program would affect travelers like me who typically stay in lower or mid-tier properties. I’m curious how changes in the program might impact the value of points at the levels I usually book and whether it would significantly affect the types of hotels I tend to choose.
