How to Search for Hotel Award Availability

We use these three websites for many of our hotel award bookings; once you get the hang of searching for hotel award availability it really is pretty straightforward!

  1. How to Search for an Award Night with Marriott
  2. How to Search for an Award Stay with Hyatt
  3. How to Search for an Award Night with Hilton

One of our favorite tools to find award availability is Hotel Hustle. This allows you to set free alerts on specific dates for hotels you are interested in, so when availability opens, you get an email right to your inbox!

Action Step:

  1. Go to each of these websites and run some tests for future award bookings in cities you hope to visit.
