This post is a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to purchase points under current promotion – Hyatt 40% bonus is available for purchases until May 23, 2018.
Hyatt 40% Bonus
As per usual, bonus is tiered – Purchase between 5,000 and 9,000 Bonus Points in a single transaction receive 30% additional Bonus Points and purchase of 10,000+ in a single transaction receive 40% additional Bonus Points. Note that the yearly limit on purchased points per account is 55,000.
You can maximize the promotion by buying 55K (+22K Bonus) for $1320 USD, at 1.71 cpp. This is good value to top up your accounts for an upcoming stay or buy up to 77K points for a high end redemption.
Redemption Options: There is great value in redeeming for lower category Hyatt properties, and in Points+Cash redemption. Quick Tip: When redeeming use Corp Code 51440 to search for Points+Cash rates
Btw, if you are a Hyatt Elite member, up to 4 free nights in Atlantic City are up for grabs!
Take Away
Hyatt 40% bonus on points purchase is as good a public offering I have seen, I would recommend buying with a specific use in mind. Since the purchase is processed by points.com , use a credit card that gives you best return on everyday spend. This transaction will not code as travel or hotel spend. If you want to redeem at lower category properties, there are some hidden gems in Cat 1-3 groups. Some categories have changed in recent past, but here are some good resources for the hidden gems;
