Points purchase : Get 25% off when you buy World of Hyatt points

Until April 14, 2025, you can get a 25% discount on the purchase of at least 3,000 Hyatt points.

This is a recurring offer: the last promotion, which ended in January 2025, offered a 25% points bonus on the purchase.

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

So if you want to buy 55,000 Hyatt points, the cost will be US$1,072.50, instead of US$1,430.

Each Hyatt point will then cost you 1.95 US cents.

Canadian sales taxes (according to your province) apply to this transaction.

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 this question is… yes and no.

In Canada, we are not fortunate enough to have credit cards that allow us to 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 2.3 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$234 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$234, you could save approximately US$80 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!
