REGISTER NOW: Hyatt launches its bonus points promotion for Spring

UPDATE – APRIL 2024:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above.

Keep up to date with new hotel offers by signing up for our free daily or weekly newsletters.

Hyatt has launched its first promotion for 2023, which is another run-out for Bonus Journeys.

Full details, and the registration link, are here.

It runs from 20th March to 26th May, and is a very simple one – you will earn 3,000 bonus World of Hyatt points for every two nights you stay.

Reward nights DO count.

You must register by 30th April.

There is one catch. Your first stay during the promotional period, after registration, does not count.

There is also a cap of 30 nights (45,000 bonus points) although for UK readers of HfP I doubt this would be a problem.

I’m never very happy with clauses like this. After all, someone doing a six night stay would be at risk of losing 9,000 World of Hyatt points (worth around £120) which would give you a strong incentive to do a cheap mattress run if you had a qualifying hotel nearby.

As well as Hyatt-branded hotels, it is also valid at participating M life Rewards destinations, Small Luxury Hotels of the World hotels and Lindblad Expeditions.

There is an extra carrot for holders of US-issued World of Hyatt credit cards but I have not covered that given our UK readership.

What is this promotion worth?

With 3,000 bonus points for every two nights (not necessarily consecutive), and based on our 1.3p valuation of a World of Hyatt point, you are getting a bonus worth £19.50 per night.

This is pretty good going, especially if your stays at cheaper Hyatt properties.

This will double up with the £100 American Express cashback offer

Hyatt recently brought back its very generous American Express cashback deal.

This is the most generous of the cashback offers that regularly pop up on American Express cards.

Even the dates work well. Until 30th April, so you may be able to use it when there is some sun around, you will receive £100 back when you spend £250 at participating Hyatt hotels.

As usual, you need to see if you have the offer showing on any of your American Express cards and then save it to lock it in.

There are a few things to note about the Amex cashback deal:

• it is only valid at selected Hyatt properties in Europe
• Small Luxury Hotels properties are not included
• you need to stay by the end of April
• it is clear that cumulative spend does count

Don’t forget Hyatt Prive too

You can combine one or both of the deals above with Hyatt Prive, the benefits programme offered by luxury travel agents including our partner Emyr Thomas.

Hyatt Prive gets you the following benefits – at no additional cost, compared to the usual Best Flexible Rate – for stays at:

• all Park Hyatt hotels
• all Andaz hotels
• some Grand Hyatt hotels
• some Hyatt Regency hotels
• some hotels in The Unbound Collection

You get:

• $100 property credit per room per stay ($50 or $75 at some cheaper Grand Hyatt and Hyatt Regency hotels)
• one category room upgrade confirmed within 24 hours of booking
• daily full breakfast for two
• early check-in (from 9am) and late check-out (to 4pm) subject to availability
• welcome gift and letter

Because all Hyatt Prive rates are ‘pay on departure’, you can be sure that they will combine with the cashback. All Hyatt Prive bookings qualify to earn World of Hyatt points and elite night credit.

Remember to register for Hyatt’s ‘Bonus Journeys’ promotion here. Registration closes on 30th April but you have until 26th May to stay.
