There are some real hits coming with popular hotels and cities. Fortunately, my two go-to properties aren’t shifting this year but some other favorites are moving up.

These include:

  • Park Hyatt Washington (from 5 to 6)
  • Park Hyatt Istanbul – Macka Palas (from 5 to 6)
  • Park Hyatt Auckland (from 5 to 6)
  • Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego (from 4 to 5 which makes it ineligible for the free night certificates that many have)
  • Grand Hyatt Washington DC (from 4 to 5 which makes it ineligible for the free night certificates that many have)

And there are many more, but I definitely want to call attention to Washington, DC hotels. There are hotels in the DC area that are going up, three of these going from a category 4 to a 5 which make them out of reach for the popular free night certificates.

Remember – you will get a refund in the points difference after tomorrow if you have a reservation at a property that is dropping categories. But, if you want to lock in the other rates for those going up, do it today!
