Can you use a World of Hyatt club lounge access award for someone else?

The World of Hyatt loyalty program offers its members Milestone Rewards starting at 20 nights or 35,000 base points in a calendar year. One of the perks you can earn through the World of Hyatt Milestone Rewards program is club lounge access awards.
Here's what you need to know about these awards, including whether you can use club lounge access awards for someone else.

You earn Hyatt club lounge access awards as Milestone Rewards. In particular, you'll earn two club lounge access awards after staying 20 qualifying nights or earning 35,000 base points in a year. You'll also earn two more club lounge access awards after staying 30 qualifying nights or earning 50,000 base points in a year.
Once you earn a club lounge access award, it is valid for the calendar year you earned it, plus an additional 14 months. You can track your awards and their expiration dates through the Awards section (also called My Awards in some places) of your account.
You can only redeem club lounge access awards for reservations with a checkout date on or before the award's expiration date. But remember, you can only redeem a club lounge access award before checking in for a stay. Club lounge access awards are valid on stays of seven consecutive nights or less.
Only stays at participating Hyatt properties with a club lounge qualify for club lounge access award redemptions, and access is always subject to availability and space limitations. Not every Hyatt brand participates in this option, even if it has properties with club lounges.
The following World of Hyatt brands do not accept these awards:
To use a club lounge access award at a participating property, you must pay an eligible rate or redeem points for a standard room free night award, a suite free night award or a points and cash award. You can't use club lounge access awards with any other free night awards, including free night awards from the World of Hyatt Credit Card or the Hyatt Brand Explorer promotion, and you can't redeem them for stays at hotels or resorts that have not yet opened.
Keep in mind, too, that you won't get complimentary breakfast in another venue if you use a club lounge access award and the lounge isn't accessible. So, you'll want to ensure the lounge will be open before you use a club lounge access award for a stay.

If you don't have World of Hyatt Globalist status — which offers club lounge access as a perk — club lounge access awards can be a great way to snag lounge access on a particular stay. As such, these awards can be valuable to World of Hyatt loyalists who stay enough nights in a calendar year to earn these awards but not enough nights to
