Award Night Redemption Tier Updates

What happens to go free or go fast award nights that I booked before January 12, 2023, but are scheduled to occur after that date?

If a hotel’s Redemption Tier decreases after you reserved an award night there, but before the night’s occurrence, you will receive a credit for the difference between the number of points redeemed and the number of points required under the new Redemption Tier. If a hotel’s Redemption Tier increases after you reserved an award night there, but before the night’s occurrence, you will only be held responsible for redeeming the number of points required prior to the increase.

Why have the Redemption Tiers for certain hotels changed?

Typically, all hotels’ go free and go fast Redemption Tiers are reviewed annually and adjustments may be made in accordance with this review.

I have an existing go free or go fast reservation at a hotel that has increased in tier. Will this affect my reservation?

No, your reservation will not be affected. The hotel will honor your reservation at the Redemption Tier it was originally reserved.

Conclusion

It is the season of updated award charts with programs that still have them (IHG and Marriott don’t & Hilton doesn’t publish changes).

You can lock in the current rates by booking before the change on February 22, 2023, for all available future rates.

There seems to be a disparity in the dates when these changes are activated; the main page states February 22, while the pop-up text refers to January 12.
