Hyatt is offering a 25% discount when you buy 5,000+ World of Hyatt points via this link. The offer ends today, 2nd June.

This offer is obviously worth a look if you need to top up your account.  It may also be worthwhile if you are considering a stay in a top tier Park Hyatt such as Paris, where buying the points may be cheaper than paying cash – here’s my 2022 Park Hyatt New York review where I did just that.

This clearly won’t work at all Hyatt properties.  However, if you are visiting an expensive city at peak season it is definitely worth doing the maths. I bought Hyatt points to stay at Thomson Central Park New York over Easter, making a worthwhile saving on the cash rate.

Remember that this is a 25% discount – not a 25% bonus. A 25% discount is equivalent to a 33% bonus which is about as good as it ever gets from Hyatt.

We value Hyatt points at 1.3p. At the top end you are paying $990 (£800) for 55,000 points, which is 1.45p each. You won’t get a steal on this basis but you should still come out on top at a good hotel on an expensive night. It’s also fair to say that, given current hotel prices, my 1.3p valuation is very conservative.

The chain has some excellent hotels, and I genuinely find Park Hyatt to be the best luxury chain which is run by one of the multi-brand groups.  It doesn’t beat Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental etc but I’d take one over a Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria or St Regis any day.

Hyatt has started letting you book suites online for points and there are some bargains to be had. Here is how I used that feature in Paris in 2021. Looking at suite upgrades, you are paying 6,000 points per night – or 9,000 for a premium suite – which would be (x 1.45p) £87 per night. This is good value, especially if the suite automatically gets you lounge access too.

Note that you must have been a World of Hyatt member for 60 days in order to buy points.
