This experience taught me about a Hyatt world Quirk you should know. Here we show you how to ensure that Hyatt extracts the correct certificate from your account.
The 2 types of Hyatt night awards
World of Hyatt issues two free night awards: category 1-4 night awards and free 1-7 category awards.
The first can be used on any property classified in categories 1-4 in Hyatt awards chart. These are not affected by the maximum and out of Hyatt peak. Whenever you can find a standard awards on an eligible property, you can use this certificate there. You can win these free nights in the following ways:

Pull the correct certificate
If you have both types of awards on your account, you do not want to use a 1-7 category prize when you stay in a hotel in categories 1-4. Unfortunately, I did this without realizing in a short note reserve in category 3 Grand Hyatt Incheon.
While I learned in the difficult way, when you use a free night award to book an online hotel, the Hyatt website automatically removes the prize that expires first. You do not have the option of choosing the lower value award.
To avoid this, call World of Hyatt Reservations at 1-800-354-9288 or communicate with your My Hyatt concierge (If you have one) to make sure the correct certificate is applied.

End
Using my Night Night prize of category 1-7 on a 1-4 category property not only made me feel excessively paid, but also prevented me from maximizing the most valuable prize. Unfortunately, the type of prize cannot be changed after your stay, so you must ensure in advance that Hyatt uses the correct certificate.
