New: Apply Hyatt Suite Upgrade & Club Access Awards Online

Good news for sure. How would this work when booking a club lounge award for another person?

@ Christian -- The easiest thing would be to first transfer the award to them (by going to the "Awards" section in your World of Hyatt account), and then going through the process outlined in this post.

Can you apply a suite upgrade to an existing reservation online?

I really like being able to gift Hyatt reward . I could have my family and friend across the globe us them instead of just expiring.

Let them sign up for Hyatt account and then go to your account and have the award as gift by transfering it directly to that account.

Hallelujah! Such a long time coming. Now if Hyatt will finally allow application on a FNC…

I redeem my FNA on my phone no problems.

Excellent. That makes a lot of sense.

Couple of things to note: this functionality works on hotels that have not yet opened. I was unable to use an SUA at the PH Cabo over the phone, but can now lock it in online. But minor downside: two types of standard suites show on their site, but only one can be booked using SUA online (resort view suite vs partial ocean view suite).

I think she means you can’t combine a SUA with a FNA.

Brilliant advice. After trying the phone twice without success, jumped online after reading your blog and, hooray, Suite Upgrade 5 days Park Hyatt Buenos Aires in January done. Thanks a lot, and I hope you have digested Ehgypt,
Best, Andreas

Good, but I'm so tired with beating this dead horse - At least make Club Access Awards a breakfast voucher for hotels without club rooms / clubs don't open, it's not rocket science.

So, what’s the point of a Hyatt globalist concierge agent?

The club access certificates are entirely useless because the vast majority of Hyatt properties don't have a lounge. Even within the Regency brand.

Frankly, at this point, it's deceptive for Hyatt to continue touting this benefit.

I guess it is a glitch, but the Club Access Award applies to All-Inclusive resorts right now.

I doubt it's a glitch - many (most?) Hyatt AI properties have club-level access - might be a club lounge, and/or a additional restaurant(s), club-level pool, etc.

Yes thank you, correct. Even Marriott allows, & I think it’s ridiculous to obviously be a loyal customer to earn the FNC to begin with but then cannot upgrade in advance. There are even plenty of Hyatt House with nice suites off limits unless can maybe score via status at check-in.

I’m actually finding SUAs harder to apply in general anyway, because the definition of standard/premium suites is quite strict with Hyatt’s newer/boutique brands.

I used to have a great one for several years but lately I have had 3 different ones in one year! They have been slow lately getting back via email/voice mail & chat takes forever. I am questioning their value for the first time.

getting out of the US and there're still nice Regency and Grands with nice club lounges. But the thing is, this even punish Explorists who wants to stay in luxury brands like Park Hyatts, Andaz and Alila due to no lounges. So the current CAA totally doesn't make any sense, and from the new milestone reward choices, I feel like Hyatt is giving up on it.
