Buy points : Get a 20% bonus when you purchase World of Hyatt points.

Until December 4, 2023, you can get a 20% bonus on the purchase of at least 3,000 Hyatt points. points.

*The last promotion, which ended on October 10, 2023, offered a 25% discount on the purchase of points.

The normal annual points purchase limit is 55,000 points (before bonus) per account per calendar year. What’s more, the minimum purchase is 3,000 points for a transaction to obtain the bonus.

So if you want to buy 55,000 Hyatt points, you’ll get 11,000 bonus points. That’s 66,000 points for a total of US$1,320.

In Canada, apart from purchasing Hyatt points, the only way to earn World Of Hyatt points is by staying at hotels that are part of the World of Hyatt program.

The answer to that question is… yes and no.

In Canada, we’re not fortunate enough to have credit cards that earn World Of Hyatt points directly or indirectly (unlike the multiple credit card options for earning Marriott Bonvoy points).

So buying Hyatt points can be a good solution ONLY when you have a particular goal in mind.

Personally, I value World Of Hyatt points at 1.7 US cents (or 2.1 Canadian cents), although they can be used at a much higher value.

That’s why it’s a good idea to target locations where the points rate is more attractive than the cash rate!

What’s more, when you use World Of Hyatt points to book hotel nights, you don’t have to pay taxes or service charges, unlike with cash rates!

For example, you can earn 12,000 World Of Hyatt points for US$240 with this promotion.

You could then use them for a night at this splendid hotel in Cambodia, the Park Hyatt Siem Reap.

This hotel is classified as a Category 3 hotel and therefore costs 12,000 points per night.

Its nightly rate is particularly expensive at 315 USD/night (+ fees and taxes), with the same cancellation conditions.

So, if you have 12,000 points for US$240, you could save US$75 at this hotel by purchasing Hyatt points.

Buying Hyatt points can therefore be interesting for some, whether for a specific travel purpose and/or to top up a World Of Hyatt points balance for a free night/stay.

But if you’re not in one of these situations, we don’t recommend buying points, preferring other programs like Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors, where it’s much easier to earn points with credit cards!
