World of Hyatt has just launched its newest promotion on purchased points, which is the program’s first such offer of 2024. This has the potential to be quite a good deal, so let’s go over the details.

Promotion on purchased World of Hyatt points

Through Tuesday, April 9, 2024, World of Hyatt is offering a 20% discount on purchased points. You can unlock this offer as long as you purchase at least 5,000 points in one transaction.

World of Hyatt is selling points with a 20% discount

How much does it cost to buy World of Hyatt points?

Ordinarily you can buy World of Hyatt points for 2.4 cents each, before any discounts or bonuses. If you maxed out the promotion you could purchase 55,000 World of Hyatt points for $1,056, which is a rate of 1.92 cents per World of Hyatt point.

Ordinarily, when Hyatt offers a promotion on purchased points, the program offers either a 25-30% bonus or a 20-30% discount. So as you can tell, this is a weaker promotion than World of Hyatt has offered in the past, but it could still be a good deal, if you have an immediate use in mind.

How many World of Hyatt points can you buy?

World of Hyatt lets you buy up to 55,000 points per account per calendar year, before any bonuses.

While World of Hyatt limits how many points you can buy per year, the program also lets you combine points across accounts for the purposes of redemptions, which could be a good deal. There are two major restrictions to be aware of:

  • You can only transfer points to another member “in order to have a sufficient number of points to redeem a particular award”
  • You can only combine points (regardless of whether you’re sending or receiving) once every 30 days

In order to combine points, you’ll need to complete Hyatt’s point combining request form.

Which credit card should you buy World of Hyatt points with?

World of Hyatt points purchases are processed by points.com, meaning they don’t count as a hotel purchase for the purposes of credit card spending.

I’d recommend using a card with which you’re trying to reach a minimum spending requirement, or a credit card that maximizes your return on everyday spending, like the Chase Freedom Unlimited® (review), Citi Double Cash® Card (review), Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card (review) (Rates & Fees), or Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card (review) (Rates & Fees).

When in doubt, review which credit cards are best for buying points and miles.

Is buying World of Hyatt points worth it?

While I wouldn’t buy World of Hyatt points without a specific use in mind, there’s tons of value to be had if buying points strategically.

I’m a huge fan of the World of Hyatt program, thanks to the excellent hotel brands Hyatt has, and the general value of World of Hyatt Globalist status, including the ability to use suite upgrade awards when redeeming points.

I’ve had so many amazing award stays with Hyatt over the years, and you could instantly buy points and redeem them at a property and save over 50% in the process. I’ll get into that in a bit more detail below.

What are good uses of World of Hyatt points?

There are truly endless amazing redemptions, so let me give some examples of some of my favorite World of Hyatt redemptions in the past few years.

I’ve redeemed World of Hyatt points for a stay at the Category 8 Alila Ventana Big Sur. Stays here include meals, and cash rates are regularly $2,000+ per night.

I’ve also redeemed World of Hyatt points for a stay at the Category 7 Park Hyatt Maldives, where cash rates are regularly $1,000+ per night.

I’ve redeemed World of Hyatt points for a stay at the Category 8 Calala Island Nicaragua, which is bookable through World of Hyatt’s Small Luxury Hotels of the World partnership. This amazing private island has just four villas, and stays here include all food, drinks, and activities. Paid rates here would be $3,000+ per night.

Continuing with the Small Luxury Hotels of the World partnership, I’ve redeemed points for a stay at the Category 8 Canaves Oia Epitome Santorini, which is bookable through World of Hyatt’s Small Luxury Hotels of the World partnership. This is one of my favorite hotels in Greece, and paid rates here would are $1,500+ per night.

While some of my favorite uses of World of Hyatt points are for super-aspirational redemptions, there are also lots of good values to be had at more reasonably priced properties. However, I think it’s the luxury properties that are most worth highlighting, since that’s where you’ll generally find the most outsized value.

Do World of Hyatt points expire?

World of Hyatt points can expire if your account doesn’t have any activity for 24 consecutive months. However, any points earning or redemption activity would reset the expiration of your points.

How much are World of Hyatt points worth?

Everyone will value points differently, but personally I value World of Hyatt points at ~1.5 cents each, and I tend to value points pretty conservatively. So the purchase price is only a bit higher than what I value the points, though like I said, there are ways to get much more value.

Does World of Hyatt have blackout dates?

World of Hyatt doesn’t have blackout dates on award nights, and all standard rooms are supposed to be available for points redemptions at the published costs. This applies at all Hyatt managed properties, though note that there are capacity controls when redeeming at Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties.

How else can you earn World of Hyatt points?

There are lots of circumstances under which it could make sense to buy World of Hyatt points. However, if you want to acquire World of Hyatt points at a lower out of pocket cost, there are some other options involving credit cards.

In addition to being able to earn World of Hyatt points with the World of Hyatt Credit Card (review) and World of Hyatt Business Credit Card (review), you can also transfer over points from Chase Ultimate Rewards.

See this post for everything you need to know about earning Hyatt points with credit cards.

Bottom line

Through April 9, 2024, World of Hyatt is offering a 20% discount on the purchase of points, and that could represent a great deal. This is an opportunity to buy points for 1.92 cents each.

I know many people find it worthwhile to buy World of Hyatt points, especially those outside the United States, who don’t have access to lucrative credit cards. As always, you’ll want to crunch the numbers for yourself, based on the potential stays you’d make.

Do you plan on buying Hyatt points with this promotion?

    Looking at your chart at the beginning of the article, there is a trend downward for the special, from 30% in 2022 to 20% in 2024. Wonder if this will continue.

  2. Pippa Guest

    I've been trying to find Hyatt hotels that will honor point use through 2024 and many will not, despite having a no blackout policy, hotels seem to be using the 'no standard rooms rate available' rule! I used the points calendar and tried various months/dates in specific hotels I wanted to use points at and was not successful.

    1. jessie Guest

      Strange, I checked Hyatt hotels in Cairo (Egypt) and Izmir (Turkey), very much available to redeem for most of dates. :)

  3. AJ Guest

    is it dead now? not seeing any discount in my account.

    1. ezdougez New Member

      Yes, I'm getting same result. This is regular rate, not even the 20% off.

    2. Steffi Guest

      Seems that it is over now..

  4. Trix Guest

    I think this is dead?

  5. MF Guest

    I am trying to use the promotion, either at the 1.92 cents per point or at the 1.54 cents per point, but I am not seeing the discount at either discount level. Does it normally show the bonus points when you move the slider? Do you have to register in some way for this offer?
    thanks in advance!

    1. yoloswag420 Guest

      They're not bonus points, they're sold at a discount, so you get exactly 55k points.

    2. ezdougez New Member

      I'm not receiving the discount either using this page link???

  6. Steven Guest

    I’m not seeing any discounts. Deal might be dead.

  7. Alex Fedoseyev Guest

    Just bought 55000 points for $845 as of 1pm ET, but points DID NOT post instantly this time

    1. jessie Guest

      same situation here, credit card successfully charged (pending), but points not instantly deposited, still waiting ....

  8. beachfan Guest

    Working as of 9:58 AM Pacific time

    Normally don't buy points as I'm too close to lifetime globalist, just short on spend. But this price is too good to pass up.

  9. JV Guest

    Thanks! Points posted instantly and already booked 5 nights @ 3.4cpp. Thanks for the heads-up!

  10. Dustin Guest

    points posted instantly!

  11. yoloswag420 Guest

    Hey Ben! Thanks for sharing the deal, but please disclose whether or not you're using affiliate links. I see in the shared url there is affiliate data embedded into the URL. Even if you are not receiving a kickback, I think it would be good to pro-actively state that in these posts. Or if you are otherwise.

  12. Bobo Guest

    Offer still live as of 11:40 Eastern time.

  13. Oswald Guest

    Seems to be a glitch

    Hope Hyatt will honour the deal

    Just bought 55k, its a steal, with a double discount

    1. Patrick Guest

      My points posted instantly - would they claw back points potentially?

    2. Andrew M Guest

      I don't think so. Once your card has been charged and the points delivered its a lot harder to unwind everything. And while 36% of (20% of 20%) is a good deal, it's not an all timer, screaming good deal or anything. As Ben showed in his historical chart of Hyatt point sales, they have offered 30% sales before.

    3. Oswald Guest

      Mine not posted yet after 30 mins; just an instant confirmation email

  14. Mandy Guest

    Anyone else wondering if this is actually a glitch or if they lowered the base price on pts?

  15. Jamal Guest

    Thanks for the heads up! Scored 55,000 points for me and another 55,000 my wife at the price of $844.80 each.

    You can also add to your excellent article that Bilt is a transfer partner to Hyatt as well.

  16. Patrick Guest

    Thank you - also got in on the $844 price!

  17. Mr Smith Guest

    Did they lower the base price? I also bought for 1.53 cents per point.

  18. Eyeinspector Guest

    Thanks for the tip, Ben! I just purchased 55,000 points for $844.80!

    1. Mr Smith Guest

      Thanks for flagging this!

  19. Andrew M Guest

    Might not want to use SLH redemptions as an example any more!
