## Caption

World of Hyatt just announced a "new" 13-month early booking benefit for elites and cardholders — except it's not new. Everyone could already book about 13 months out. Hyatt fenced that month off, cut general members and Discoverists down to 12 months, and repackaged it as a perk. Here's what really changed, how to get the month back (it's easy), and how to use it to lock in sold-out hotels like the Park Hyatt Kyoto and Niseko Hanazono.

#WorldOfHyatt #PointsAndMiles #HotelPoints #HyattGlobalist #AwardTravel

World of Hyatt has quietly changed its award booking window. What Hyatt marketed as a new 13-month early access benefit for Explorist, Globalist, Lifetime Globalist, and World of Hyatt credit card holders is really a devaluation for everyone else: general members and Discoverists are now capped at 12 months, when previously all members could book roughly 13 months out. This video explains exactly what changed, how to check which side of the World of Hyatt early access change you're on using the Hyatt points calendar, the easy way to get the 13th month back, and how to use the extra month to book sold-out properties like the Park Hyatt Kyoto, Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono, and the Grand Hyatts in Hawaii, plus the Globalist points advance trick.
