If you check your existing reservations, you should now see the updated points pricing reflected in the booking details. I’m curious whether canceling a reservation would return the original number of points used at booking or the newly adjusted amount.

I currently have stays booked at Park Hyatt Kyoto, Park Hyatt Tokyo, Park Hyatt Seoul, Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, along with a few smaller properties, and all of them now display the updated redemption pricing under the reservation details.

Here are some of the changes I noticed:

• Park Hyatt Kyoto: booked at 180k total / 45k per night, now showing 300k total / 75k per night — a 66.7% increase.
• Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme: booked at 240k, now 270k — a 12.5% increase.
• Park Hyatt Seoul: booked at 125k, now 150k — a 20% increase.
• Park Hyatt Tokyo: booked at 170k, now 200k — a 17.6% increase.
• Miraval Berkshires actually went down from 72k per night to 70k per night for a standard room, which is about a 2.8% decrease. I used a complimentary Miraval night, so it doesn’t really affect me.

EDIT:

People have now confirmed that canceling an existing award booking returns the original number of points paid, and it appears to work both ways. If your pre-adjustment redemption rate was higher, you would still receive the original (higher) points amount back upon cancellation.

So far, it looks like:

• Canceling an existing reservation returns the original points used at booking.
• Rebooking the same stay would require paying the current award rate, whether higher or lower.

I’m still hoping someone can provide data points on modifying an existing reservation — specifically whether changing dates on a current booking reprices the reservation at today’s award rates or preserves the original rate structure.

Mother’s Day heater at the craps table last night.

Buddy and I bought in for $2k each at a $50 minimum table, 3/4/5x odds. Started hot and got up to around $4k each pretty quick… then got smacked with a few PSOs and had to rebuy another $1k each. Total in: $3k each.

At that point we said screw it and started going full pressure.

Then the dark side player decides to switch to Pass Line and shoot. Some players left because they didn't want to put money on the dark side shooter.

Dude proceeds to roll for what had to be 40 rolls. Absolute insanity.

Our racks were basically empty because everything was pressed and spread across the numbers. We started with:

• $50 come bets + max odds
• then bumped to $100 comes
• eventually had $200 comes with max odds working across all numbers

Every hit was paying around $1,400 and the table was going nuts.

My buddy was also firing $100-$200 hardways and crushed those for another ~$8k on top.

I actually took my odds down a few rolls too early because the roll just would NOT end. Funny enough, it ended up about even with my friend because he gave a little back right before the inevitable 7-out happened maybe 4-5 rolls later.

Final cash out:

• In for $3k each
• Out for $42,700

Before leaving we put the dealers up for $250 across and let them press with us during the roll. Colored up and left another $300 tip because they were awesome all night.

Went over to blackjack after and ran it up even more.

Craziest part? By the end of the night basically everyone that was playing with us was still at the table but had given back their profit and then some. Tons of spectators, random hot shooters asking for tips, whole pit watching the action.

Casino even had security walk us to the car because apparently there was some incident with high rollers the week before.
