World of Hyatt has introduced a new suite upgrade bidding option for certain reservations, surprising some of its loyal members. The move was first noticed when an email offering the opportunity to bid for a suite upgrade was received by a member ahead of an upcoming stay in Lisbon.
The bidding options at Hyatt Regency Lisbon included various upgrades, such as a standard river-view room starting at $41 per day and deluxe suites beginning at $97. For those interested in the largest suites, bids could go up to $185. Additionally, other services like early check-in or late checkout and pre-purchase classes were offered.
Summer Hull from TPG noted that she vaguely remembered receiving a similar offer from an all-inclusive Hyatt property. However, most colleagues did not recall getting such emails. Some World of Hyatt members shared their experiences on Facebook, indicating they had also received similar offers recently.
