TPG compared redemption rates for various dates, and most fall below our July 2024 valuation of 1.7 cents per Hyatt point. So, while this might not be the most valuable use of your points, it could be a big win for Hyatt loyalists who want to get up close and personal with some of the United States’ most beautiful parks and natural wonders.
A quick search for Under Canvas Great Smoky Mountains shows a mid-August stay at 16,250 points per night for an entry-level safari tent. Stays in mid-June 2025 cost 17,750 points per night.
