Other ways to earn Hyatt points
New stays
Every time you complete a paid stay at a Hyatt hotel or resort, you will earn points for that stay! Oftentimes if I am booking a cheaper Hyatt Place or similar, I might opt to pay cash and keep my points for a bigger redemption.
Keep in mind that you must book the hotel directly through Hyatt and not through a third party site if you want to earn rewards or credit toward status for the year.
Bonus Journeys
Bonus journeys are offers from Hyatt to earn more points on qualifying/predefined stays.
⭐️For instance, this might be something like earning 2,000 bonus points for every two nights you stay at a Hyatt hotel during specified months in the summer. There are also bonus journeys for staying at specific brands or in certain locations.
This can be a great way to earn more points on stays you already have booked!
FIND Experiences
-FIND experiences that you can book through Hyatt can also earn 10 points per dollar spent. From food experiences, to spa treatments, and even underwater excursions, there are so many ways you can take advantage of these bookings to earn extra Hyatt points!
Bottom Line
Hyatt will always be my top choice for hotel stays on points, and even with credit card restrictions and eligibility rules frequently changing, there are plenty of ways to keep building up that Hyatt stash.
And don’t forget that you can keep earning points and miles on any of those cards about with your regular spending, even after you’ve earned the welcome bonus! No matter how you earn your Hyatt points, there are so many ways to use them on amazing hotels and resorts! ✨👏🏻
