The World Of Hyatt Credit Card
Like 2018, 2017, 2016 and in 2015, Hyatt is offering co-brand credit card cardmembers a rebate on points redeemed.
They’re giving all Hyatt cardmembers 10% back on redemptions made between July 1 and September 2, 2019. Registration is required by July 15, and Avis car rental certificate redemptions and points transferred to airline miles aren’t eligible. The rebate applies to free night awards, cash and points awards, room upgrades, dining and spa services, Exhale classes and spa therapies, and FIND experiences.
Two years ago there was a three month period for the 10% rebate. The year before it was nearly four months. And in 2015 it was nearly 5 months and a 20% rebate. Since last year the offer hasn’t been as generous as in the past, but it’s certainly welcome.
It’s worth registering now. They promise rebates will post 6-8 weeks after redemption, however in the past they’ve posted more quickly than that for me.
Park Hyatt Sydney
Crucially you do not have to have had the Hyatt co-brand card prior to the start of the promotion to register and become eligible, if you get The World Of Hyatt Credit Card prior to registration cut-off and register you’ll still be eligible for the rebate. And pre-existing award reservations count for this promotion, there’s no need to cancel and rebook.
This offer makes transfers to Hyatt — already the best hotel partner use of Ultimate Rewards points — an even better use of your Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Business Preferred Credit Card, and other eligible Chase card points.
Park Hyatt Hadahaa Maldives
I don’t have major award stays to make over the next few months, but at the margin this offer will encourage me to gift some award nights during the promotion period, considering Hyatt’s benefit where top tier elites booking awards for friends gift their status for the stay to those friends.
Even with this rebate remember that it’s never a good idea to spend your points in-hotel on dining or spa.

I booked a stay with points and cash about a week ago at the Hyatt Regency Sonoma. My question is if it will be ok to cancel the reservation and rebook it with the promotion.
There is no penalty for cancellation up to 48h prior to
Thank you as always
Yup, on July 1 I’m going to cancel my award booked yesterday and rebook! It’d just be so much easier if they’d issue me the points back rather than having me cancel and rebook.
@KayKay and @ Robert – No need to cancel and re-book. Pre-existing reservations qualify. Gary addresses this in the article above. It’s in the paragraph just below the photo of the Sydney Opera House.
