Hyatt Award Chart Changes March 2024
Hyatt has announced changes to award categories for free night stays.
You can find the full list here: https://world.hyatt.com/content/gp/en/landing/award-category-chart-updates.html
Generally these types of changes are negative especially when categories move out of 4 to 5 (free night cert) and from 7 to 8 (also free night cert).
Some things to keep in mind:
- When you book before March 26, your reservations will follow the current free night award chart found here.
- Reservations made or modified on or after March 26 will follow the new free night award chart and incorporate the updates noted below.
- Existing reservations for nights on or after March 26 will receive a refund for the point difference if the hotel moved to a lower category.

AA Enhances Service to LSE
Good news this week for flyers to LSE! From social media:
I'm glad that AA is committing more seats to the Coulee region. Now I wish United would restart service!

AA Takes a Step Back with Earning
I was pretty disappointed to receive an email update from American Airlines recently detailing an update on earning miles and Loyalty Points. The banner reads they want to 'reward loyalty', however, the changes mean less opportunities to earn miles and points:

In other words, you may not be able to earn miles/points any longer when using sites like Orbitz and Kayak.
Worst part, they don't even bother to say which are the preferred agencies! (list promised end of April).
Terrible in my opinion.
