Hyatt New Change for 2018: Free Night Awards Count toward Tier Status

Hyatt has been my mainstay hotel chain of choice over the last number of years.  I've visited quite a few properties in the U.S. and other foreign countries - while their footprint is smaller compared to other chains, I find the quality to be a step above the rest.  Take for instance the Hyatt in the Maldives (from site):



Since World of Hyatt changed up the earning process for qualification, there has been a lot of grumbling about how to get stay credit and other points.  Thankfully, Hyatt is introducing a feature that most will probably like: credit for award stays.

From their email:

You deserve to be rewarded for your loyalty. We are excited to announce starting January 1, 2018, all nights on free night awards will count toward tier status. You can now earn elite status and additional benefits and rewards faster.
Plus, we’re extending the validity dates for the following free night awards. Starting with awards issued January 1, 2018, you can use them up to 180 days from issuance.
Free night in a Category 1-4 Hyatt hotel or resort when you stay 30 qualifying nights or earn 50,000 Base Points in a calendar year
Free night in a Category 1-7 Hyatt hotel or resort when you stay 60 qualifying nights or earn 100,000 Base Points in a calendar year
Wherever your travels take you, World of Hyatt looks forward to rewarding you even more in 2018.

This is an excellent upgrade in service!
