January 9 Update: World of Hyatt free award nights to count towards status and Amex statement credits for booking hotels

More hotel program changes. Hyatt’s World of Hyatt announced
that free award nights will count towards tier status. They are
following in the footsteps of many other major chains who offer this
benefit. Hyatt is also extending the validity dates for the following
free night awards.

Starting with awards issued January 1, 2018, you can use them up to 180 days from issuance.

  • Free night in a Category 1-7 Hyatt hotel or resort when you stay
    60 qualifying nights or earn 100,000 Base Points in a calendar year

Check your emails from American Express for their
