Hyatt has launched its summer promotion for 2023, and for the first time that I can remember it has a geographical restriction.
It is only valid at hotels in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
Full details, and the registration link, are here.
It runs from 1st July to 15th September, and is a very simple one – you will earn double World of Hyatt base points on your stays.
Reward nights DO count.
You must register by 31st July.
There is one catch. Your first stay during the promotional period, after registration, does not count.
I’m never very happy with clauses like this. If you were planning an expensive Hyatt stay this summer it would give you a strong incentive to do a cheap mattress run. If you need to do this, note that the Hyatt Place at Heathrow is just 5,000 points on off peak nights ….
There is also a cap of 25,000 bonus points (equivalent to $5,000 of pre-tax spending) although for UK readers of HfP I doubt this would be a problem.
As well as Hyatt-branded hotels, it is also valid at participating Small Luxury Hotels of the World hotels and Lindblad Expeditions.
What is this promotion worth?
You earn 5 base World of Hyatt points per $1, which doubles to 10 per $1 under this offer.
This is equivalent to 13 points per £1 of pre-tax spending so, based on our 1.3p valuation of a World of Hyatt point, you are getting a bonus worth 17% of your pre-tax spending. Anyone with World of Hyatt status would earn even more.
This is pretty good going, and explains why a cheap mattress run may be worth it if you were planning to spend £1,500+ on your next Hyatt stay.
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.
Click here to learn more about Hyatt Prive, and use the form here to contact Emyr with booking enquiries.
Remember to register for Hyatt’s double points promotion here. Registration closes on 31st July but you have until 15th September to stay.
