Register Now For Hyatt’s New Promotion (Because You’ll Forget To Do It Later)

by Gary Leff

Hyatt is out with their fall promotion and it’s for a very limited period of less than two months.

  • Register by November 10
  • Earn 3,000 bonus points every 3 eligible nights for checkouts running October 6 – November 30, 2023
  • An additional 1,000 bonus points for Hyatt co-brand credit card cardmembers for every three eligible nights at a subset of hotels during the promotion period, earnable up to 7 times

In some sense it’s 1,000 bonus points per night (worth around $14), more for cardmembers – fine though hardly revolutionary, akin to double points on a $200 night stay – but you’re leaving any nights not divisible by three on the table. I suppose this promotion might influence my stay decisions:

  • If I had an exactly three night stay to book
  • Or already had 2 Hyatt nights during the promotion period and had a one night stay to book

Marriott’s fall promotion is exceptionally weak, offering just 1,500 bonus points per stay (worth less than $10 even on long stays) plus 3,000 bonus points for every 3 hotel brands stayed at September 12 through December 6, 2023.

Hilton, on the other hand, is offering up to triple points: double points in all markets, and triple points in select cities, September 6 through December 31. That’s a much richer promotion, though Hilton’s base earning is weaker than in competing programs and needs to do this to come close to even.

You should register for all of these offers regardless of whether or not you plan to stay at a given chain during the relevant time period, because a stay might crop up, and you will never remember to go back and register later. It’s easy and quick to register now, and if you don’t you may wind up losing out on points later.

  2. Gary,

    The promotion is even worse then you describe as the bonus 1000 points for World of Hyatt Credit Card holders is only applicable at 550+ hotels and in the US that includes hotels located in 3 states (California, Illinois, and Indiana).

  4. Hilton, on the other hand, is offering up to triple points: double points in all markets, and triple points in select cities, September 6 through December 31. That’s a much richer promotion, though Hilton’s base earning is weaker than in competing programs and needs to do this to come close to even.

    It’s sometimes incredible the lengths to which some self-anointed “travel gurus” would go to try to put lipstick on a pig. This WoH global promo, the program’s first since early spring, truly stinks in every respect, including being shorter — October 6 – November 30 — than any other program’s offering (Hilton’s: Sept 6 – Dec 31).

    How does @Gary try to “compensate”? By trotting out the quoted claim about his “bête noire”, which anyone with an ounce of gray matter between the ears know if utterly bogus. There is no universe in which “Hilton’s base earning is weaker than in competing programs” and I bet @Gary or anyone $10,000 that I can demonstrate with incontrovertible math that the claim is utterly bogus (in the vein of the one about a Hyatt point being the “single most valuable hotel points currency”).

    Keep trying, but the lipstick is coming off fast and your pig is being exposed for the pig that it’s always been despite years of thick lipstick and cosmetic surgery by self-anointed “travel gurus” 😉
