Back in April, World of Hyatt announced it would be extending elite status by a year, as well as extending the expiration of quite a few benefits. Well, today World of Hyatt has revealed some more positive changes, including the extension of more benefits, as well as the further delay of some (potentially) negative changes.

Thanks, Lucky. My wife and I just got back from the Hyatt Regency John Wayne Airport this weekend and while the hotel was nice, the service left a lot to be desired.
I know they recently renovated the hotel, which was much needed but I am shocked to see it moving up to a category 3.
Great news on the free nights and points expiration extension. Looking at you now, Marriott.
Would be nice if they decreased the number of milestone nights required to qualify for awards this year.
Do you know if this is effective immediately? My free night awards and TSUs are still showing a February 28, 2021 expiration.
Just answered my own question. My concierge just responded with the following when I asked to try to use one:
"The awards are being extended which is Super news but not until 11/20/2020 so I am not able to apply until after that date."
With all the good promotions and customer-friendly policies by Hyatt, I'm making an effort to target all my stays this quarter and in 2021 with them. They're generally doing things right.
Great news! Thank you once again Hyatt!
@Lucky can you answer this scenario: for hotels that are going down in category in late October: if you reserve them now on points for a stay that is dated *after* the downgrade, will you pay the higher category fee, or will the points stay cost reflect the downgrade in effect at the time of your stay? I'm considering a visit to NYC, the Parker looks convenient.
Best news of the week so far. Wish I could have stayed with Hyatt a lot more this year but their response to the events of 2020 has earned my loyalty for years to come. Delta too.
Lucky sayz, "All unused free night awards that were earned in 2020 with 2021 expiration dates will now be extended through December 31, 2021."
Thanks for the great news! But when this goes into effect? My awards still show the old expiration dates!
Something to consider when composing one of these blogs with great pictures. Put the name of the location or hotel below the picture.
@John, I second that request. I made the same request of Lucky the other day when the Hilton points promotion story went up with a pic that I did not recognize. Still waiting for an answer.
@ John, @ Scott
I agree whole heartedly.
In the meantime, when using a desktop, you can right-click and "Search Google for image".
@Mojo- thanks for the suggestion, which I tried, but it did not work. Just brought up a google search page with the window to type in your search. I even got the app to search images and it could not find what Lucky put up yesterday on the Hilton story. So Lucky, if you are reading this, I am still waiting to hear where that is. And Mojo, if you can identify it, that would be most appreciated.
What about the hotels that were previously announced and supposed to move up or down a category for 2020? Like the Grand Hyatt Seattle that was announced going from Cat 5 to 4?
