The Promotion

Below are details of the Hyatt 20% bonus points promotion:

  • Offer available with purchases made between 12:00 am ET October 30, 2023 and ends 11:59 pm ET December 4, 2023
  • Purchase 3,000 or more min Bonus Points in a single transaction and get 20% Bonus.
  • In order to participate in a purchase transaction, you must be a member for at least 60 days to purchase or receive Bonus Points
  • Bonus Points will be awarded upon completion of individual transactions.
  • Bonus Points can be purchased in increments of 1,000, up to 55,000 points per calendar year
  • I may receive a commission if you purchase points through my link

If you purchase 55,000 points you will get 11,000 bonus points for a total of 66,000 points. The total cost is $1,320, about 2.0 cents per point.  Last time they ran this promotion the bonus was 40% so it’s not quite as high as it has ever been.

Redeeming Hyatt points for free nights

Below is the current award chart for Hyatt hotels, starting at as little as 5,000 points in a standard room, and goes up to 60,000 points in a suite at Hyatt’s most aspirational hotels.

As I have written before, one option to use your points is to stay at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar.  You can still save money even if you use points purchased to redeem a night. As an example, for the President’s Day weekend in February 2018, the average nightly rate for the 3-day weekend is $445 per night. With taxes and fees, 3 nights will cost you $1,737 in total (there are lots of taxes!)  Alternatively, you can use 20,000 points per night, or 60,000 points total for the entire weekend.

Grand Hyatt Baha Mar rate sample

When I stayed at the Hyatt Zilara Montego Bay Jamaica, the cash cost was $620 / night plus tax! So if you were planning on staying there, buying points would be a cheaper option as well. I generally do not recommend buying points speculatively, but if you have a specific redemption like this, it could make sense

Should you buy Hyatt points with a 20% bonus?

Purchased points or airline miles can represent great value sometimes. But as always, you need to crunch the numbers to ensure it makes sense.

(SEE ALSO: When is buying airline miles worth it? In ONLY these 3 instances)

During the past two years, Hyatt has offered bonus on purchase points about four times a year, and the maximum bonus ranged from 20% to 40%. So the current promotion is on the low side. As I always say, if you don’t have an urgent need for Hyatt points, I would recommend waiting for the next promotion with higher bonus.  I generally would only buy Hyatt or any other type of miles or points if you have a specific short-term need for them
