To use Hyatt's points calendar, search for a hotel on hyatt.com or in the Hyatt app, check "Use Points," and open the "Points Calendar" link. It shows award pricing and availability for a whole month at once. Search a destination instead of a single hotel and the map shows each property's lowest points price, or its cash rate when no award night is open.
If you've ever spent hours clicking through dates trying to find an open award night at a World of Hyatt property, these two tools are the shortcut.
How to Open the Points Calendar
Here's the path that works on the website and in the app:
- Search for a hotel or destination as you normally would.
- Check the "Use Points" box. The calendar link only appears when you search with points.
- Open the hotel's page, or click "View Rates" on a search result, and select "Points Calendar."
- Move between months with the arrows and change the room type from the drop-down.
You can also adjust the number of nights and guests, and the calendar updates to match. Dates with no award room show as unavailable, which makes blackout stretches easy to spot.
What the Calendar Shows
The calendar lays out award prices and availability across the month, so you no longer need to click through individual dates. Off-peak dates stand out, which matters because Hyatt prices award nights by season. A mid-week or shoulder-season night can cost fewer points than the weekend you had in mind.
One caution: confirm the night at checkout. A price on the calendar is not a booking, so check that the dates you want are actually bookable before you plan flights around them.
Using the Map Search
Search a city or region and the map shows the lowest award price for each property on your dates. A property with no award space still appears, but with its cash rate. Read the label on each pin so you don't mistake a cash price for a points price.
This helps most in destinations with several Hyatt options. You can compare, say, Hyatt Centric properties in a city center against other Hyatt brands on the same dates, by availability and points cost. For a hotel that shows no award space on the map, click "View Rates" and open its Points Calendar to see which nearby dates are open.
Where the Calendar Won't Help
Not every property offers one. Mr & Mrs Smith hotels, which Hyatt sells with dynamic pricing, don't appear to have a points calendar, and some all-inclusive properties may not show the link either. If the link is missing, search the dates one at a time.
The calendar also covers award nights only. It doesn't change what World of Hyatt points are worth, just how easily you find a night to spend them on. If you're a Guest of Honor member planning around free-night certificates or other perks, check the rules for that award before you book.
Bottom Line
Start with a flexible month, not fixed dates. Open the Points Calendar for your hotel, pick the cheapest available nights, then confirm the booking. For booking beyond Hyatt, Hotels.com is worth checking, and Viator has tours and experiences for the trip.
