Buy World of Hyatt Points with a 25% Discount

World of Hyatt is fast emerging as an interesting alternative hotel loyalty program to Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors.

They’ve recently announced their latest promotion on purchased points, a valuable way for members to top up their points balances and book hotel stays. This could be a great deal, especially if you’re looking to enjoy your Globalist status as often as possible.

Buy World of Hyatt Points with a 25% Discount

World of Hyatt is offering a discount on points purchases until January 19, 2023. You’ll get a 25% discount when you buy at least 3,000 points.

Normally, Hyatt charges 2.4 cents per point (USD) to buy points. With this 25% discount, the rate is reduced to 1.8 cents per point (USD).

This isn’t necessarily the most competitive price for buying World of Hyatt points, as it’s above our current valuation of 1.5 cents per point (USD) and also more than some of the most recent offers of a 30% discount on purchased points.

How many World of Hyatt points can you buy?

World of Hyatt imposes a limit of 55,000 points purchased per calendar year before any bonuses are accounted for. For this promotion, the limit has been doubled to 110,000 points, and you’ll get a 25% discount on purchases of between 3,000–110,000 points in increments of 1,000.

Note that World of Hyatt refers to all purchased points as Bonus Points.

If you max out this promotion, it’ll cost $1,980 (USD) for 110,000 Hyatt points.

Purchased points will appear in your account within 48 hours.

Which credit card should you use to buy World of Hyatt points?

World of Hyatt sells points through an external vendor, Points.com. They don’t count as a travel purchase, and there’s no extra benefit to using, say, Chase’s US-issued personal or business World of Hyatt credit cards.

Instead, I’d suggest any card with a high base earn rate, or one where you’re working on meeting the minimum spend requirement.

In particular, any US credit card will do. That’s because you’ll be charged Canadian sales tax if your billing address is in Canada.

Therefore, even a Canadian-issued credit card with no foreign transaction fees would be a worse choice – although it’s still your best option if you don’t have any US credit cards yet.
