Update 10/19/23: Now live. Looks like you get ~1.2¢ per point when redeeming Hyatt points.
Hyatt is launching a new short term vacation rental platform called ‘Homes & Hideaways‘. Hyatt benefits will include:
- Direct booking access to a unique collection of short-term private home rentals from beachfront escapes to mountainside ski chalets, where they can earn and redeem points beyond the traditional hotel stay
- Earning points and tier-qualifying night credits on stays
- Standard tier bonuses
- Ability to redeem points for stays at home rental properties
How useful this is will really depend on the rates and if this is a white label of another platform.
