I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…World of Hyatt is my top choice for award stays! You’ll get amazing value from their points and they have a wide range of hotels and resorts, meaning there is something for everyone. 🏨 And there are so many ways to earn Hyatt points!
Credit cards and credit card welcome offers are by far the easiest and quickest way to accrue lots of Hyatt points or points that can be transferred to Hyatt, but make sure to keep reading to find out how to keep earning those Hyatt points in between opening new cards! 👀

Other ways to earn Hyatt points
BILT + Rakuten Partnership
The new BILT partnership with Rakuten means that there is a brand new avenue for earning these super valuable points!

➡️Read here about how to earn BILT points through Rakuten.
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.
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! ✨👏🏻
