I rarely stay at a Hyatt, but I just received this email, for those that care. Sounds like an "enhancement" 
The Hyatt Gold Passport® Award Chart will be updated on January 7, 2014 and we want to give you plenty of advance notice so you can plan your next great getaway.
We are introducing a new Category 7, which includes six Park Hyatt hotels in cities such as Paris, Tokyo and Sydney, and requires 30,000 points. We are also changing the number of points required to redeem a Free Night Award for standard rooms and upgraded rooms in select categories.
In addition, 38 hotels are shifting between categories. This includes 21 hotels moving to a higher category and 17 hotels moving to a lower category. Existing reservations for stays starting January 7, 2014, will receive a refund for the point difference if the hotel moved to a lower category.
Lastly, the points required to upgrade your paid stay to a Regency Club®/Grand Club® room or suite will now be on a per-night basis.
As always, we will continue to make redemption as easy as possible with no blackout dates. And if we have a standard room available at any location, on any day of the year, you're more than welcome to reserve it with your Hyatt Gold Passport points.
