Thoughts
Well, no one can justifiably claim that this is a great promotion, but it’s better than nothing.
Based on our valuation of Hyatt points (which is currently 1.4 cents/point) and the fact that a maximum 28,000 bonus points can be earned in this latest Bonus Journeys promotion, we can say that the maximum effective rebate on offer here is $392.
If you look at this in terms of 3-night stays, the effective rebate is $56 if the 3-night stay takes place at a Hyatt Place/Hyatt Select property and $42 if the stay takes place at any other participating property.
Given how expensive a lot of hotel stays currently are, that’s not really much of a rebate is it?
Still, if you have some Hyatt stays planned, a few bonus points are better than none, and with free night awards qualifying for this deal, you could view the latest Bonus Journeys promotion as a way of saving a few points on your next award stay.
Important: Keep in mind that only stays that take place after registration will earn the bonus points so make sure you sign up as soon as possible to avoid finding yourself in a situation where you you’ve enjoyed a Hyatt stay, got home and suddenly remembered that you never got around to registering (it happens more often than you may think!)
Bottom line
Hyatt has launched its first Bonus Journeys promotion for 2026 and it covers stays which take place between 2 February and 15 April 2026.
The promotion is offering registered World of Hyatt members up to 4,000 points per 3-night stay at Hyatt Place and Hyatt Select properties stays and up to 3,000 points per 3-night stay at all other participating World of Hyatt properties.
The maximum number of points you can earn from this promotion is capped at 28,000 bonus points.
