World Of Hyatt Bonus Journeys Promo: Earn Up To 28K Bonus Points

World of Hyatt has just opened registration for its next major global promotion, which will be launching soon. The program hasn’t had a global promotion since fall 2023, so I’m sure many people are happy to see the return of an offer. While this promotion is better than nothing, it’s also not the most exciting offer we’ve seen from the program.

Registration has opened for World of Hyatt’s upcoming Bonus Journeys promotion. This offer is valid for stays globally between March 1 and April 30, 2024. With this offer:

• Earn 3,000 bonus points for every three qualifying nights, up to a total of 21,000 bonus points, at all properties globally
• Those with the World of Hyatt Credit Card (review) or World of Hyatt Business Credit Card (review) can earn an additional 1,000 bonus points for every three nights at properties in 18 participating destinations — Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mainland China, Macau, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and Vietnam

That means between those two aspects of the offer, you could earn up to 28,000 bonus points. There are some details to be aware of with this promotion:

• Registration is required prior to your first eligible stay, and between February 22 and April 15, 2024
• The promotion kicks in starting with your first stay; the nights requirements are cumulative, so you’re rewarded the same whether you make one stay of three nights or three stays of one night
• The main promotion is valid for stays at all Hyatt properties, plus Small Luxury Hotels of the World locations; meanwhile the credit card promotion only applies at properties in select destinations
• Any stay booked directly with Hyatt qualifies toward the promotion, including stays booked prior to the start of the promotion, as well as award stays
• The check-out dates must fall within the promotion period, so in order for a stay to be eligible, you must check-out between March 1 and April 30, 2024
• You can earn up to 28,000 World of Hyatt bonus points with this promotion, and you’d accrue that after spending 21 nights at eligible hotels
• Only one room can qualify toward this promotion; so while you can earn points for multiple rooms, you would only earn the bonus based on one room

How lucrative is World of Hyatt’s Bonus Journeys promotion? For context, I value World of Hyatt points at ~1.5 cents each:

• With the main part of this promotion, you’re earning 1,000 bonus points per night in the right increments, which is a ~$15 return per night
• With the credit card portion of the promotion, you’re earning 333 bonus points per night in the right increments (but only at some properties), which is ~$5 per night

So for your first 21 nights, you’d earn anywhere from 1,000 to 1,333 bonus points per night. I’d say that’s not bad if you’re staying at an inexpensive property (especially if redeeming points), while it’s not going to move the needly much for a stay at an expensive property.

Just to recap World of Hyatt’s regular points earning rates:

As a Globalist member paying with a co-branded credit card, I’m ordinarily earning 10.5x points per dollar spent, which is a 15.75% return. Then eligible stays with this promotion would earn me 1,000-1,333 bonus points per night.

Other ways to earn World of Hyatt points

If you’re looking to earn more World of Hyatt points, the good news is that Hyatt points are pretty easy to come by. In addition to being able to earn World of Hyatt points with the World of Hyatt Credit Card (review) or World of Hyatt Business Credit Card (review), you can also transfer over points from Ultimate Rewards. This is one of my favorite uses of Chase points.

Bottom line

World of Hyatt has opened registration for its first Bonus Journeys promotion of 2024. Between March 1 and April 30, members can earn 3,000 bonus points after every three nights at all properties globally, and those with a co-branded Hyatt card can earn 1,000 bonus points after every three nights at select properties. Between the two offers, you can earn a total of up to 28,000 bonus points.
