The Offer
- Hyatt is offering up to a 40% bonus when you purchase points through December 31st, 2019 as long as you purchase at least 5,000 points.
The Fine Print
- Valid until June 11th, 2019
Our Verdict
You can make the deal better by going through a portal for another 2.5% through Topcashback. That would bring down the cost of points to 1.671¢, you’d obviously get the credit card rewards of whatever card you used as well. Personally I never purchase points, I’d prefer to stay at non chain hotels in most cases and generally get better value by stacking discounts at places like Hotels.com. I know some people go gaga over Hyatt points, so this could be a good deal for them. Pretty sure 40% bonus is the best bonus they offer, but please correct me in the comments.
Hat tip to Frequent Flyer Bonuses
Hyatt stopped offering free points for expired anniversary certificate from the old hyatt credit card. Anyone have recent experience with this?
Also if i cancel the hyatt card within one month of the annual fee does the free anniversary certificate deposited also get canceled?
I was able to get 77,975 points for a rate of $0.0161. I just booked Hyatt Park NYC 1 room x 2 nights on New Year’s eve, totally worth it.
I stayed at the Hyatt near the PHX airport recently. The rate on the web site was $150/night or 5000 points. So in this instance purchasing points would have been a clear win.
My offer is slightly different:
Purchase 5,000-9,000 points you receive a 20% bonus
Purchase 10,000-19,000 points and receive 30% bonus
Purchase 20,000+ points and receive 40% bonus
Can get great value in some cases. I have a 7 night stay at Cat 1 that would be a little over $200 per night after taxes. 35,000 points vs $1,430
That’s some expensive cat 1
I’m a very light traveler and these points would not be of much use to me for hotels. Has anyone done the calculations to see if these are good to buy and wait for a Hyatt to United conversion bonus and then make the transfer to United? I know it sounds a long twisted way to get United miles, but even though I do not travel frequently, I like to save United miles for that annual or bi-annual vacation and would buy the points if it made sense.
there are so many more less expensive ways to get Hyatt points or United Miles… like transfer from UR when you get 5x categories like for the freedom card… or other ways very common to this community to increase the number of points or miles in your account by increasing your usage of the cards.
May 23 is not the last day. Post needs editing
Fixed, thanks
I wonder if using the Chase Hyatt card would net you an extra 3x per dollar spent when buying these points. I would think so, right!?
I dont think so because youre buying it from points.com Same with IHG points.
As Abey says, it’s through points.com so I don’t think it does earn bonus points. Chase Ink Preferred does earn 3x according to payments workshop: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/payments-workshop/
Ok, thanks guys. I didn’t realize it wasn’t through Hyatt when l clicked the ‘Direct to Offer’ link.
Purchased 60k Alaska miles (90k post bonus) last week, paid using ink preferred. Coded only as 1x and not 3x. SM’ed chase and was told Visa didn’t recognize it as shipping / advertising category. As a courtesy, the rep manually gave me the extra 2x pts.
This would be awesome if they had fifth night free on award nights.
Good point
Honestly I prefer the lower points per night. With Hyatt you are basically getting fifth night free value from a single night booked. The 5k hotels are awesome and 30,000 for their top tier is pretty sweet. It makes the loyalty program so much better because using chase points doesn’t sting to bad. I can’t use chase points for any other hotel chain even with 5th night free.
So 77K Hyatt for $1,320 is $17.14 for 1,000 Hyatt points.
There is a Hyatt house in Fishkill NY (where we go often) which is only 5K a night ($120 to $150 cash price).
With this deal you will pay $85.70 instead of $135ish.
I dont buy miles or points. But Hyatt points are definitely underrated. A Hyatt House 5K is as nice (if not better) then a 30K IHG Holliday Inn or a 30K Marriott Fairfield Inn.
(When I see Chase INK at 80K, I read 16 nights at Hyatt 5K).
> But Hyatt points are definitely underrated
Lolwut?? People go Gaga over Hyatt points all the time. It absolutely is not underrated.
Unfortunately, Hyatt fishkill has been moved to cat 2 for 8000 points. So now the cheapest option to the north of NYC is Hyatt place new haven ct for 5000 or Hyatt regency Greenwich ct for 8000 (this one comes with lounge!)
Park Hyatt in$ Yerevan Armenia. 5K per night. But prices in this country are cheap and you can find a nice hotel for $50 al nite. A hostel around the corner with a private room and bathroom is $20
doc, i know its not really ur blog area, but since u started, mite as well.
