Users want Hyatt to allow the purchase of smaller increments of points (like 500 points) instead of the minimum of 2,000 points to cover small gaps in point requirements for redemptions.
Short about 500 Hyatt points for a Bangkok redemption – any suggestions? I currently have 12,500 points in my World of Hyatt account and I’m planning a trip to Bangkok soon. I found availability at a Category 1 property that requires 13,000 points, so I’m just about 500 points short. Unfortunately, there aren’t any Hyatt properties in my hometown where I could easily earn a few points through a stay or dining. When I checked the Hyatt site, the minimum purchase seems to be 2,000 points, which feels like a bit much just to cover a 500-point gap. Has anyone dealt with a situation like this before? Is there an easier way to top up a small amount like this (transfer from another member, small earning trick, etc.), or is buying the 2,000 points basically the only practical option? Would appreciate any guidance from those who’ve been in a similar situation.
