World of Hyatt has just made life simpler for its members: you can now apply Suite Upgrade Awards, Guest of Honor Awards, and Club Access Awards directly through the Hyatt website or mobile app. This change eliminates the need to call customer service, offering members a faster, more convenient way to enhance their stays.

These awards are some of the most valuable perks in the World of Hyatt program, giving you the ability to upgrade to a luxurious suite or enjoy exclusive access to a club lounge at the hotel. With the new online functionality, you can now instantly lock in these benefits at the time of booking. No more anxious waiting for a confirmation.

Let’s dive into how this works and what it means for your next Hyatt stay.

How To Apply Suite Upgrade And Club Access Awards Online

Previously, redeeming Suite Upgrade Awards, Guest of Honor Awards, or Club Access Awards meant reaching out to the Hyatt customer service center, a process that could take time and patience. Now, applying these awards is as simple as a few clicks online. Here is how:

1. Log In To Your Account: Visit hyatt.com or open the Hyatt app, and log into your World of Hyatt account.
2. Search For Your Stay: Input your destination, travel dates, and preferences. Look for properties that offer the desired award.
3. Apply Eligible Awards: Once the search results appear, you will see clickable options to use Suite Upgrade, Guest of Honor, or Club Access Awards, provided they are eligible. For Suite Upgrades, this will depend on the availability of standard suites; for Club Access, the hotel must have an operational club lounge.
4. Complete Your Booking: Select your room or suite, confirm the award application, and finalize the reservation.
