Hyatt Award Calendar: Compare Cash and Points with HotelXray

HotelXray adds a Hyatt award calendar to Chrome so you can compare a full month of World of Hyatt points prices, cash rates and award availability beside hyatt.com. Find better dates, decide whether to pay cash or use points, and check room and suite options without searching each night separately.

The month-view calendar, on-demand refreshes and club lounge reports are free. HotelXray also offers award and rate alerts, plus Hyatt booking price-drop monitoring after you reserve a stay. The same extension supports Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors and IHG One Rewards; compare all four programs here.

Compare a month of Hyatt cash and points prices

On a Hyatt hotel page, HotelXray shows the available cash rate, points price and cents-per-point value for each night in a monthly calendar. If your dates are flexible, you can see which nights cost fewer points or less cash before choosing a stay.

HotelXray calendar for Hyatt Grand Central New York, a Category 5 hotel, in December 2026, under the Award, Cash Rate, Guests and Corp Code controls: each night shows its award price from 15,000 to 42,000 points, its cash rate and the cents per point, with December 6 to 10 at 15,000 points and the December 11 to 13 stay shaded — A month of award prices, cash rates and CPP for one hotel.

Cents per point (CPP) expresses the cash value you get for each point redeemed. In the room example below, $330 divided by 15,000 points is 2.2 cents per point. Compare rates with similar taxes, fees and cancellation terms when deciding whether to spend points. The hotel points value guide explains the calculation and gives benchmarks for each program.

Find Hyatt suite awards and Suite Upgrade Award availability

HotelXray shows standard-room, standard-suite and premium-suite award availability. It also identifies nights where you can use a World of Hyatt Suite Upgrade Award (SUA), which upgrades an eligible standard-room stay to a standard suite.

The SUA view compares the suite’s own cash or points price with the price of the stay using your upgrade. This helps you find dates when an upgrade is available and see what it would replace.

The same December calendar on the SUA tab: on December 6 the Corner Suite's 27,000 points are struck through above 15,000 points with the upgrade, and its $540 cash rate above $359; December 31 shows ✕ in both rows — The SUA tab: the suite's price struck through, and what the upgrade costs.

Select a date to compare individual rooms, including their cash rates, points prices and Points + Cash options where Hyatt offers them. Cancellation terms appear beside cash rates, and rooms that include lounge access have a Club access tag.

You can also compare rates for your guest count, free-cancellation rates and corporate rates. These comparisons help you judge the rate you would actually book.

Rooms for Tuesday December 8 with Per Room on Cheapest Cash Rate: 1 King Bed under Standard Room Free Night at $330 non-refundable or 15,000 points, 2.2¢, or 7,500 points plus $180; the Corner Suite under Standard Suite Free Night at $545, cancel up to 2 days before, or 27,000 points, 2.0¢, or 13,500 points plus $275; and 1 King Bed Deluxe under Cash Only from $404 — One night's rooms, grouped by award, with cash and its terms, points, Points + Cash and CPP.

Find a hotel for your Hyatt Free Night Award

A World of Hyatt Free Night Award can cover a standard room at a hotel within the certificate’s category limit, subject to award availability. Comparing cash prices can help you choose a night when using the certificate avoids a larger bill.

HotelXray shows the hotel’s category award chart and a Same category nearby list. Open another hotel from the list to compare its month of cash prices and award availability.

Compare nearby Hyatt hotels in one view

HotelXray also opens beside Hyatt search results, with a compact calendar for each hotel. Compare properties over the same dates without opening every hotel individually.

Hotels with a researched club lounge appear together above other results. That makes it easier to compare lounge options when your stay includes access through status, a Guest of Honor booking or a Club Lounge Access Award.

HotelXray beside a Hyatt search for New York, December 6 to 12: Thompson Central Park New York, Hyatt Grand Central New York and Hyatt Regency JFK Airport at Resorts World under Hotels with club lounge, each with a Club badge and a week of points, cash and CPP, then Hyatt Place New York City - Times Square under Other hotels — Lounge hotels first, each with the same week of points, cash and CPP.

See what a Hyatt club lounge offers before booking

HotelXray’s free club lounge reports help you compare what a lounge adds to your stay: breakfast, evening food and drinks, opening hours, location, guest allowances and extra charges. A lounge that serves continental breakfast is a different proposition from one with a full evening meal.

Expanded report for the 16th-floor Commodore Lounge at Hyatt Grand Central New York: open daily 6:30 AM to 10 PM, a continental breakfast, all-day refreshments, alcohol at extra cost, and a caveat that there is no hot food — A lounge report opens under the hotel name.

The Hyatt club lounge guide explains access options and how to compare lounges. HotelXray also has lounge reports for Marriott and Hilton.

Get an email when a Hyatt award opens or a rate drops

HotelXray award and rate alerts keep checking after you leave hyatt.com. Set a cash-price target or points budget and receive an email with the matching result and a direct booking link.

You can watch exact dates, flexible dates or any single night within a date range, including suite awards and Suite Upgrade Award availability. Guest-count, free-cancellation and corporate-rate options help you monitor the stay you want. Keep watching continues an alert after the first match so it can catch a later drop.

The Set alert form for Hyatt Grand Central New York with the Category 5 award chart, dates of December 31 to January 1 set to Exact, Points selected, Room checked under Room types and a 25,000-point limit for the stay — One alert: the dates, what to watch, and a points limit.

Each alert has an Alert check log showing when checks ran, the results found and which conditions matched. The Hyatt award alerts guide follows one alert from setup to its match email.

Monitor a booked Hyatt stay for price drops

HotelXray can monitor an existing Hyatt reservation for a lower price on the same room and rate. If your booking allows free cancellation, a price-drop email gives you the chance to rebook for less before the deadline.

Open your reservation on hyatt.com with HotelXray’s side panel open. Select Allow to enable booking access, then Start monitoring. HotelXray checks until free cancellation ends or you check in. You decide whether to rebook; HotelXray never changes or cancels the reservation itself.

The booking price-drop monitoring guide shows the setup and the emails.

Install HotelXray in Chrome and open a Hyatt hotel or search page to start comparing dates. Core rate comparisons and lounge reports do not require a HotelXray account. Use an email account for alerts and booking monitoring. HotelXray never asks for your Hyatt username or password, and booking access stays off until you select Allow.

If Hyatt opens to a blank page in Chrome, HotelXray can also offer a Fix it now action designed to keep you signed in. The Hyatt blank-page guide covers that option and a manual method.
