World of Hyatt has just launched its newest global promotion, after opening registration a bit over a week ago. The program hasn’t had a global promotion since fall 2023, so I’m sure many people are happy to see the return of an offer. While this promotion is better than nothing, it’s also not the most exciting promotion we’ve seen from the program.

World of Hyatt spring 2024 global promotion details

Registration is open for World of Hyatt’s Bonus Journeys promotion, which is now live. This offer is valid for stays globally between March 1 and April 30, 2024. With this offer:

  • Earn 3,000 bonus points for every three qualifying nights, up to a total of 21,000 bonus points, at all properties globally
  • Those with the World of Hyatt Credit Card (review) or World of Hyatt Business Credit Card (review) can earn an additional 1,000 bonus points for every three nights at properties in 18 participating destinations — Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mainland China, Macau, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and Vietnam
World of Hyatt’s Bonus Journeys promotion is back

That means between those two aspects of the offer, you could earn up to 28,000 bonus points. There are some details to be aware of with this promotion:

  • Registration is required prior to your first eligible stay, and between February 22 and April 15, 2024
  • The promotion kicks in starting with your first stay; the nights requirements are cumulative, so you’re rewarded the same whether you make one stay of three nights or three stays of one night
  • The main promotion is valid for stays at all Hyatt properties, plus Small Luxury Hotels of the World locations; meanwhile the credit card promotion only applies at properties in select destinations
  • Any stay booked directly with Hyatt qualifies toward the promotion, including stays booked prior to the start of the promotion, as well as award stays
  • The check-out dates must fall within the promotion period, so in order for a stay to be eligible, you must check-out between March 1 and April 30, 2024
  • You can earn up to 28,000 World of Hyatt bonus points with this promotion, and you’d accrue that after spending 21 nights at eligible hotels
  • Only one room can qualify toward this promotion; so while you can earn points for multiple rooms, you would only earn the bonus based on one room
World of Hyatt members can be rewarded with Bonus Journeys

Crunching the numbers on Hyatt’s promotion

How lucrative is World of Hyatt’s Bonus Journeys promotion? For context, I value World of Hyatt points at ~1.5 cents each:

  • With the main part of this promotion, you’re earning 1,000 bonus points per night in the right increments, which is a ~$15 return per night
  • With the credit card portion of the promotion, you’re earning 333 bonus points per night in the right increments (but only at some properties), which is ~$5 per night

So for your first 21 nights, you’d earn anywhere from 1,000 to 1,333 bonus points per night. I’d say that’s not bad if you’re staying at an inexpensive property (especially if redeeming points), while it’s not going to move the needle much for a stay at an expensive property.

Just to recap World of Hyatt’s regular points earning rates:

As a Globalist member paying with a co-branded credit card, I’m ordinarily earning 10.5x points per dollar spent, which is a 15.75% return. Then eligible stays with this promotion would earn me 1,000-1,333 bonus points per night.

Earn 1,000-1,333 bonus points per night

Other World of Hyatt offers to take advantage of

In addition to the new World of Hyatt promotion, keep in mind the other ongoing offers from World of Hyatt:

There are rewards for staying at different brands, like Alila

Other ways to earn World of Hyatt points

If you’re looking to earn more World of Hyatt points, the good news is that Hyatt points are pretty easy to come by. In addition to being able to earn World of Hyatt points with the World of Hyatt Credit Card (review) or World of Hyatt Business Credit Card (review), you can also transfer over points from Ultimate Rewards. This is one of my favorite uses of Chase points.

    So, promotions exist to modify customer actions. (e.g. - I would spend money on Hyatt that I wouldn't have otherwise, because I feel points are valuable.)

    Given Hyatt's annual devaluation of categories and plummeting value of their points currency, this will modify 0 of my behavioral patterns.

    What is the math on even bothering with this? Why do they have promotions?

  2. Ann Guest

    Does the 3 nights have to be at the same Hyatt property or can it be 1 night x 3 at different Hyatt hotels?

  3. leslie Guest

    One of the worst hotel cards; more and more, it is impossible to find a decent category 4 hotels; cancelling my card this year.

    1. Andrew Diamond

      Agreed, their annual category nerfs are getting tiresome. I'm also cheesed about "oh you want a category 8 certificate? Spend 150 nights with us!"

      Hard no. I don't professionally live in hotels.

  4. Jayce Guest

    Tried to register & it tells me that i am ineligible. I bought points during the error sale a few days ago, I wonder if the two are related.

    1. yoloswag420 Guest

      No, the support said there is an issue w/ registering online right now and to try again later.

  5. Matt Guest

    Tried to sign up and got a response "Sorry, you are not eligible for this promotion".

    Huh? What eligibility criteria are there other than being a WOH member?

    Hopefully it is a glitch that will clear itself up in the next few days

  6. Guy B Guest

    Hyatt just discriminates non-US members who have no way of getting the Chase card or can transfer points from any other credit card to WOH. Even for us in Canada. The only way for us to earn points is thru stays. Points for stays have not budged for years. Still 30% for Globalist since Gold Passport days, and we lost the 1000 welcome bonus points for elite members after programme changed to WOH.

    1. yoloswag420 Guest

      The level of entitlement and delusion has gone through the roof these days.

      This is not discrimination. Discrimination is when you are denied rights to something you are entitled to have, like the right to free speech, etc.

      A hotel rewards program is not discrimination. Not everything is equal in life. Suck it up and move on.

  7. Jason Guest

    If I check in on 22 Feb to 10 Mar, do I get 10 qualifying nights or 17 qualifying nights?

    1. Guy B Guest

      You get 3K points for every night of your stay. How are coming up with 10 nights? The promo is to the end of April.

    2. Guy B Guest

      Sorry I couldn't edit my previous comment. After I reread your question.

      Your stay counts only from 1st March.

    3. Eric Wu Guest

      No that is incorrect. Jason will earn all 17 qualifying nights.

  8. LP Guest

    How did the last (Fall 2023) promotion work? Anyone have a link to it or story about it?

  9. NateAU Guest

    If my stay begins Feb 28th and my checkout is on March 4th (5 nights), will any or all of this stay be counted towards the promotion?

    1. Guy B Guest

      The promo will start counting from 1st March.

    2. NateAU Guest

      Thank you for the follow-up and helpful answer!

    3. Patty Guest

      Not to beat a dead horse, but the verbiage is a little confusing. The exact verbiage of the promotion says “Only Eligible Nights completed after registration and between March 1 and April 30, 2024, (“Promotion Period”) will count towards this promotion.”
      I have a stay booked from 2/29-3/3. I would be “completing” the 2/29 night on 3/1 (would still be in the hotel even if I was checking out that day).
      But if...

      But if I understand what you are saying the 2/29 night would not count because it goes by the night stayed (vs completed)? Bummer…. Thanks

    4. Patty Guest

      Ok they added more FAQs to address my exact question. Doesn’t count 2/29. :(
      9. I have registered for the promotion and have a stay on February 29 with a checkout on March 1, 2024. Will the night count towards the promotion?
      No, only Eligible Nights completed between March 1 and April 30, 2024, count toward the promotion.

  10. Regis Guest

    Do you know if award stays qualify?

    1. Powerball Winner Guest

      They typically do

  11. Gray Guest

    Okay, so most US-based folks can safely just ignore the cardmember bonus part of this. Functionally, it's a 21k point bonus (still not bad), not 28k point, for us.

    1. Regis Guest

      Exacly, especially given that their international footprint is even smaller than their already small presence here in the US.
