Hyatt has announced a few hotels that will go up in award price and one that will drop in price, effective as of 12:01am CST on December 13, 2017 (this Wednesday). That’s 1:01 am December 13 ET.

Thankfully only eight properties will jump in price, and one is getting cheaper.

If you’re looking to book one of the eight whose price will increase late Tuesday night (technically Wednesday morning), then book now to save your Hyatt points! If you’re looking to book the Confidante Hotel in Miami, wait until Wednesday or later to save 10,000 Hyatt points.
