As you probably already know, Hyatt just recategorized many of their hotels and while Sunday was the last day to book some hotels at the lower rate, today is an opportunity to get points back for those select hotels that actually went down a category or two. In my experience, Hyatt will not automatically adjust the category for you, and instead you will need to call and request the points back into your account. It seems as though each representative does it differently where some might give you the point difference back as a credit and others will cancel and rebook for you at the lower rate. So here is a list of the hotels that just got a lot cheaper:
Hotels that went from a category 6 to a category 4:
- Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami
Hotels that went from a category 5 to a category 4:
- Hyatt Regency Sochi
- Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort
Hotels that went from a category 4 to a category 3:

So if you already have a reservation booked for any of the above hotels, make sure to call Hyatt and get a refund on your points. I personally had a reservation for a hotel that went from a category 6 to a category 4. It took just a few minutes and they canceled and rebooked my night. This saved me a ton Hyatt Gold Passport points!
