Get a 25% bonus when you buy Hyatt points AND limit doubled AND repeat in January

World of Hyatt is offering a new 25% bonus when you buy 7,000+ points via this link.
This is VERY interesting for three reasons:
- the annual purchase limit has been doubled to 110,000 World of Hyatt points, so if you have already bought the previous limit of 55,000 points this year (as I have) you can buy more
- the offer runs to 4th January, so you could buy ANOTHER 110,000 points between 1st-4th January 2025 to take advantage of your 2025 purchase limit
- the 25% bonus is ON TOP of the purchase limits
You suddenly have enough points for a great stay, potentially in a suite, at a top resort which would other cost thousands of pounds.
One person could buy 275,000 World of Hyatt points across two transactions between now and 4th January (one in 2024, one in 2025) and a couple could buy 550,000 points between them.
What does it cost?
We value Hyatt points at 1.2p. At the top end you are paying $2,640 (£2,035) for 137,500 points, which is 1.48p each.
This means that it isn’t a no-brainer 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, our 1.2p valuation is very conservative.
Let’s look at some examples
Here are some sample stays using World of Hyatt points over Easter Weekend, 18th-22nd April. I have compared it with the Member Rate which is flexible.
- Park Hyatt New York – 160,000 points (£2,368) or $4,850 (£3,739) for cash
- Park Hyatt London River Thames – 100,000 points (£1,480) or £2,347 for cash
- Park Hyatt Marrakech – 140,000 points (£2,072) or MAD 31,818 (£2,507) for cash
Obviously these are luxury options but the same, if not better, value can be found further down the scale.
Going into August, say 2nd to 9th August:
- 7Pines Ibiza – 245,000 points (£3,626) or €5,683 (£4,757) for cash
- 7Pines Sardinia – 315,000 points (£4,662) or €13,667 (£11,441) for cash
You might want to read that last one again!
Remember that Hyatt GUARANTEES that reward rooms will be available as long as the lowest category of cash room remains available.
It’s also worth remembering that Hyatt lets you book suites for points at surprisingly good rates, either directly or via a points upgrade. I just booked Grand Hyatt Berlin and upgraded to a top suite (96 sq m!) for just 9,000 points per night. Even better, the suite comes with club access and a bottle of champagne on arrival!
There is, of course, a risk that Hyatt massively devalues its programme before you can spend your points. It’s a risk you need to be happy with, but for as long as Hyatt remains (by far) the smallest of the major hotel groups it will depend on World of Hyatt to bring in business. It understands that you’ll have to drive past multiple IHG, Hilton and Marriott properties to get to a Hyatt!
If you buy and redeem immediately, of course, you have zero risk from a devaluation.
Note that new members of World of Hyatt need to wait 60 days before they can buy or receive gifted points.
The Hyatt ‘buy points’ site is here. The offer ends on 4th January, but you may want to buy now and buy again for 2025 on 1st January.
