The offer mentioned below for the for the World of Hyatt cards is no longer available.
World of Hyatt has launched a brand new Bonus Journeys promotion and you'll have a chance to earn up to 28,000 bonus points.
The bonus points will be doled out in 3,000-point increments for every three nights you stay between Oct. 6 and Nov. 30, 2023 (up to 21,000 bonus points). Plus, if you have The World of Hyatt Credit Card or World of Hyatt Business Credit Card, you can earn an additional 1,000 bonus points for every three nights at 550+ participating hotels (up to 7,000 bonus points). The registration deadline is Nov. 10, but if you have fall travel plans be sure to register beforehand — your stay only qualifies for the promotion if you're registered in advance.
World of Hyatt points are some of the most valuable hotel points you can earn. Off-peak award nights at category 1 Hyatt hotels cost just 3,500 points. When you add the bonus points from this promotion to the points you could earn from the stay (a minimum of 5 points for every $1 spent on an eligible room rate), you'll almost have enough for a free night after earning a single 3,000-point bonus.
Plus, Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio so anyone with the right Chase credit card can easily top off their Hyatt account to book the award nights they want.
Below, CNBC Select breaks down the new promotion and the additional bonus points Hyatt cardmembers can earn.
World of Hyatt Bonus Journeys Promotion
With the latest iteration of Hyatt's Bonus Journeys promo, you can earn 3,000 bonus points for every three nights you spend at participating hotels, during the promotion period, for up to 21 nights. That means you can earn the 3,000-point bonus a maximum of seven times for 21,000 bonus points.
Hyatt has a generous award chart with excellent points prices for its most luxurious properties. With 45,000 points you can book a free night at a top-tier category 8 hotel, like the Park Hyatt New York, during peak dates when the cash price can easily top $1,000 per night.
You can also stretch your points further at Hyatt's value properties. Standard award nights at category 1 Hyatt hotels cost 5,000 points. If you max out this promo, you could book four nights with the points you earn.
The promotion runs from Oct. 12 to Nov. 30, 2023, and the deadline to register is Nov. 10. The bonus starts with your first stay and you'll need to register before your stay for the nights to count toward the promotion.
Eligible nights include both paid and award stays at all participating World of Hyatt hotels and resorts worldwide (including brands like Andaz, Park Hyatt, Thompson Hotels and more), Lindblad Expeditions and Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) properties.

Cardholders can earn up to 7,000 bonus points with this offer. You can view the full list of participating properties here.
