Hyatt’s promos

Hyatt Bonus Journeys usually happens a couple of times per year and is a great time to pivot stays to Hyatt because bonus points can be earned, and I’ve often used it to mattress run in the past. This Bonus Journeys is officially live for registration, but doesn’t start until 3/1/24.  Don’t forget, there is also a Etihad 1000 mile promo running too

How can you mattress run this?

If you’re short on nights… you could effectively earn 21 Elite nights for 52,500 points.

  • Cheapest Category 1 = 3500 points off peak
    • Every 3 nights you’d earn 3000 points back, or roughly 1000 points per night
    • Net 2500 points per night.

If you’re point rich and don’t think you’ll stay enough nights to hit Globalist status later this year…this is an opportune time to make a run for it for a very cheap nightly rate

What are some of my favorite Hyatt stays?

I have used points to stay at the following properties

Don’t forget that Chase Ultimate Rewards are a transfer part of Hyatt

You can instantly move Chase Ultimate Rewards 1:1 into World of Hyatt. I have done this countless times and it provides a great way to shore up a Hyatt account.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.

    Just curious about strategy on cards and points. If you were to have 1 night at Hyatt Place and 2 nights at Hyatt during this period but for 17 rooms – what strategy would you use to get the most points (including signing up for new cards). All rooms paid by one card and all points to one account.

    Second, would you book say 3 rooms at normal rate and the other 14 as a group booking – does that make sure you get the most points?

    Another tips/advice/help will be appreciated

    hayat hotel chain is best in the world

    Why are you surprised that Hyatt status is extended, and do you mean into 2024? Did they mention extension of status?

    • Miles December 9, 2021

      It was a typo…surprised it ‘isn’t” extended. Marriott, Hilton, IHG have all extended but Hyatt hasn’t.

  • Christian July 8, 2021

    IIRC you’re the one who tuned me in to Hyatt Prive, which has served me well. Do Prive bookings count?

    • Miles July 8, 2021

      I believe Prive is an eligible rate and happy to hear you’re getting good value out of it!

  • Shawn February 23, 2021

    You’re the man, Zach! 4 nights away from Globalist. Where’s the merch link?!
