The pay ahead, pay backward is an interesting issue. The website will always look to the normal MF due date, but the ability to use next year's points is a separate issue. I would call Hyatt and specifically ask the question. Then call again later and talk to a different person. The advisers are not consistent on the issue. The real test is when the computer comes to your name on the wait list and verifies MF status, things can go south without you even knowing there is a issue. Once you know for a reliable fact that the resort is "pay ahead", then you need to pay the MF before those points are used for next year. If it's "pay backward" then pay the MF when normally scheduled.
