Until October 5, 2026, you can get a discount of 20% when you buy at least 5,000 Hyatt points.
The normal annual cap for purchasing points is 55,000 points per account per calendar year. In addition, there is a minimum purchase of 5,000 points per transaction to qualify for the discount.
Thus, if you buy the annual cap of 55,000 Hyatt points, you pay $1,144 US instead of the regular rate of $1,430 US, without additional bonus points.
Each Hyatt point will then cost you 2.08 US cents.
Canadian sales taxes (depending on your province) apply to this transaction.
The points purchase transaction is in US dollars.
We recommend using a credit card that does not charge foreign currency conversion fees, such as:
This way, you will save 2.5% in fees on this points purchase!
The answer to that question is… yes and no.
In Canada, we do not have the benefit of credit cards that allow you to earn World of Hyatt points directly or indirectly (unlike the many credit card options for earning Marriott Bonvoy points).
Therefore, buying Hyatt points can be an interesting option ONLY when you have a very specific goal in mind.
We value World of Hyatt points at approximately 2 US cents, although they can be used for much greater value on certain redemptions. Also note that Hyatt usually offers a 25% to 30% discount during its points purchase promotions; this one, at 20%, is therefore slightly less generous than usual.
It is therefore worth targeting places where the points rates are advantageous compared to the cash rate!
Especially since when you use World of Hyatt points to book hotel nights, you do not have to pay taxes or service fees, unlike cash rates!
Buying Hyatt points can therefore be worthwhile for some, whether for a very specific travel goal and/or to top up a World of Hyatt points balance in order to get a free night/free stay.
However, if you are not in one of these situations, we recommend against buying points and suggest choosing other programs such as Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors, for which it is much easier to earn points thanks to credit cards!
