Since the beginning of July, Hyatt has been running a number of excellent promotions covering award night bookings, spending at restaurants within Hyatt properties, and on parking at Hyatt properties worldwide. These promotions were all set to end on 8 October but Hyatt has just announced that it has extended the end date for all of these promotions to 4 January 2021.

Hyatt’s free nights on sale

In this fantastic promotion, all World of Hyatt members receive a rebate of 15% of any points they use for free night stays (and more) through 4 January 2021. Holders of card_name receive a further 10% back for a total rebate of 25%.

• Registration has been extended through 1 December 2020
  • World of Hyatt members register here
  • Holders of card_name register here
• The rebates of between 15% and 25% are being offered on:
  • Free night awards
  • Points & Cash bookings
  • Room upgrades
  • Dining and Spa services
  • Exhale classes and Spa therapies
• All of the above must be completed by 4 January 2021
• Rebates will post to member accounts 6-8 weeks after they are earned

This offer is valid at all properties participating in the World of Hyatt program (includes SLH and MGM properties) and will stack with Hyatt’s current 3x points promotion which runs through 15 September 2020 and with the new Hyatt promotion launching on 1 October.

Hyatt’s free parking promotion

Since 8 July, all World of Hyatt members have been getting free parking when redeeming points for free night bookings or for Points & Cash bookings at properties where parking can be charged to the hotel. This promotion has now been extended to 4 January 2021.

This promotion is valid for self-park and valet parking options but is not valid at Hyatt Residence Club resorts, M life Rewards destinations, or Small Luxury Hotels of the World hotels.

Top-tier World of Hyatt elites already receive free parking on award bookings so, as an added bonus, Hyatt is now offering its Globalist tier guests free parking on paid stays made through 4 January 2021. Considering the increasing number of people who are choosing to vacation closer to home or to take road trips in the place of air travel, this is a promotion that could save guests a significant amount of money (a lot of properties charge in excess of $40/night for parking).

Hyatt’s dining promotion

Ordinarily, World of Hyatt members earn 5 points/dollar for spending at eateries located within a variety of Hyatt properties worldwide but, since 8 July, Hyatt has been offering 3 times the number of points usually awarded (15 points per dollar). As an added bonus, when guests pay with card_name, they’ll earn 2 further points per dollar taking their earnings up to 17 points per dollar.

I value World of Hyatt points at 1.4 cents each so this promotion translates to an effective rebate of up to 23.8%.

The promotion relates to dining in, take-out orders, and spending made while booking a food delivery from a participating outlet but it’s not open to guests spending the night at the property or for charges made to a room.

Also, be aware that a maximum of 100,000 bonus points can be earned per transaction and that this promotion is not valid at Hyatt Residence Club, Hyatt Ziva, or Hyatt Zilara properties.

Per Hyatt:

“For the purpose of this offer, a participating outlet is defined as any food and beverage outlet participating in the Dining, Spa and More program. Outlet participation is limited and this offer may not be available at all properties or at certain brands. Please ask outlet associates about participation or visit hyatt.com/dinelocal“

Note: Not all properties are participating in this promotion so make sure you check which eateries are included in this deal (here) before you hand over your credit card.

Bottom line

Award night bookings and Points & Cash bookings completed by 4 January 2021 offer World of Hyatt members free parking and a points rebate of up to 25%. In addition (and during the same timeframe), World of Hyatt members can earn up to 17 points/dollar for dining, take-out, and food delivery purchases made at participating eateries within Hyatt properties.
