If you have ever tried to book a World of Hyatt stay using points, you probably know the struggle. 

You plug in your dates, toggle “Use Points,” and cross your fingers – only to find that the room you want is not available, or the calendar gives you zero clues about when award nights actually open up.

That frustration is finally over. 

There is a new Hyatt award availability calendar that shows real-time award space across full months, making it much easier to plan and book free nights. This update is live now on both the Hyatt app and website.

For travelers looking to get the most out of their points, this new tool is a major win.

What Is The Hyatt Award Availability Calendar

The Hyatt award availability calendar allows you to see exactly which nights are open for points bookings – before you click into each date. This means you can view a full month of real-time availability, along with peak, standard, or off-peak pricing in one easy glance.

Here is how to access it:

• Visit the World of Hyatt website
• Search for a Hyatt property and make sure you toggle “Use Points.”
• Click “View Rates.”
• Select “Points Calendar.”

You will now see a color-coded calendar showing availability for each night. If a night is available using points, it will be clickable. If not, it will be grayed out. 

You can also filter by room type, number of guests, and length of stay.

This is not just a static chart showing theoretical points costs – it reflects actual bookable space.

How This Helps You Book Smarter

This new feature makes award booking faster and more flexible. Instead of checking each date manually or relying on third-party tools, you can now:

• See an entire month of live availability for any Hyatt hotel.
• Spot award space during off-peak pricing, helping your points go further.
• Search multiple lengths of stay without having to reset your search.
• Use the map view to find cities or regions with award space instantly.

This puts Hyatt in line with programs like Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy, which already offer live award calendars. Until now, the lack of this feature for Hyatt meant travelers had to use guesswork or outside sites like Rooms.aero. 

Those workarounds are no longer needed.

Where The Calendar Shines

The best part of the new Hyatt award availability calendar is that it gives you control. You can:

• Plan trips around actual availability – not just hopes and guesses.
• Shift dates to match lower points prices.
• Easily compare rates between hotels using the interactive map.

If you are planning a stay at a high-demand property like the Park Hyatt Kyoto or Alila Ventana Big Sur, the calendar helps you find open dates before others snap them up. 

This tool is also helpful for planning multiple-stop trips where availability matters more than fixed dates.

Key Tips For Using The Hyatt Award Availability Calendar

To get the most value from this new feature, keep these tips in mind:

• Always toggle “Use Points” before starting your search. If you forget, the calendar will not appear.
• Adjust the length of your stay. Some nights may show availability for one night but not for longer stays.
• Try the map view. This is a great way to explore destinations based on award availability and pricing.

Final Thoughts

The new Hyatt award availability calendar makes it much easier to use your points effectively. 

No more date-by-date clicking. 

No more disappointment after finding out your chosen night is not available. 

Just clear, real-time visibility into where and when you can stay.

For travelers like you – who want to maximize every point – this is a game-changer. 

Whether you are booking a weekend getaway or a bucket-list vacation, this tool helps you get there with less effort and more confidence.
