Arizona is hot in August, but so is this deal.

Hyatt is running a few different promotions, 2 of which, result in booking one of the most exclusive wellness centers in the country for just 18k points a night. The first promo is the 10% rebate on points used for award stays that is currently offered to Hyatt credit cardholders. The 2nd, a 50% bonus awarded to World of Hyatt members who use their points to stay at Miraval in Arizona. Let’s take a look at the promos and how they can stack together.

The First: 10% refund for Hyatt Credit Cardholders

The 2nd: 50% bonus at Miraval on award stays.

The Math:

With Single Occupancy:

  • Per night…45,000 Points
  • 10% Refund 4,500
  • 50% Bonus 22,500
  • Net Cost 18,000 points

Double Occupancy:

  • Per night 65,000
  • 10% Refund 6,500
  • 50% Bonus: 32,500
  • Net Cost: 26,000

Don’t Forget this is all inclusive resort and when you use points you get a $175 per night, per person resort credit.

  •  Redeem points on eligible Miraval stays and enjoy a $175 resort credit per person, per day along with unlimited meals, snacks and over 120 wellness activities and classes each week

This pretty much sums up what you could expect at Miraval.

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.

    Thomas – it’s a great deal, but yeah…downside is you need all the points in your account to book

  • Thomas July 18, 2018

    So I’m guess if you wanna stay 3 nights, you would need 3x65k=195k points in your WOH account, but you would only end up using 78k?

    This seems like a good bday present for the wife but I don’t want to have to commit 195k to WoH…
