Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt is Hyatt’s vacation rental platform. The idea is that you can rent a vacation home while still being able to earn and redeem points. Well, if there are any upcoming vacation rentals you’re considering, this might be an ideal time to give Hyatt’s platform a try.

Earn 3x World of Hyatt points on vacation rentals
World of Hyatt is offering 3x points on Homes & Hideaways vacation rentals. There are surprisingly few terms associated with this, as it’s valid for stays that are booked and consumed between August 21 and November 3, 2024. Bonus points will post two to four weeks after an eligible stay.
It’s surprising how few restrictions there are otherwise. No registration is required, there’s no limit on how many bonus points you can earn, and all eligible stays qualify.
As a reminder, if you’re booking a stay with Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt, you can expect to receive the following number of points as a member (not factoring in the current promotion):
- World of Hyatt members earn 5x points per dollar spent
- World of Hyatt elite members receive their usual points bonuses for these stays as well — Discoverist members receive a 10% bonus, Explorist members receive a 20% bonus, and Globalist members receive a 30% bonus
Since this promotion offers 3x the standard number of points, that means you would earn an additional 10x World of Hyatt points per dollar spent. For example, a Globalist member would be looking at earning 16.5x points per dollar spent. I value World of Hyatt points at 1.5 cents each, so to me, that’s like a return of nearly 25%. That doesn’t even include credit card rewards.
Is booking through Homes & Hideaways worth it?
Hyatt isn’t alone in offering a vacation rental platform. For example, there’s also Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy. The business model here is that the hotel group gets a commission when you book a vacation rental through the company, and you’re offered some perks in exchange for that.
Under normal circumstances, the value proposition of these hotel home rental platforms is a bit questionable. Most properties bookable through the platform are also bookable through other vacation rental platforms. In my experience, these platforms are often priced a bit higher than other websites with the same rental options. So the hotel group takes a commission on an inflated rate, but members can also receive perks.
It’s always worth crunching the numbers on the value of booking through Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt, as there are situations where it will represent a good deal. Honestly, this promotion is exceptional, because you’re earning 15x World of Hyatt points per dollar spent, before even factoring in elite bonuses or credit card rewards.
Now, of course you shouldn’t rent a vacation home just to take advantage of this promotion. However, if you were going to anyway, or if you were at least considering doing so, this would be the ideal time to do so. This is the best offer we’ve seen so far from Hyatt’s platform.
Bottom line
Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt is offering its best promotion since launch, as members can earn 3x points for rentals through November 3, 2024. With this, you earn an incremental 10x points per dollar spent, since you ordinarily earn 5x base points per dollar spent.
This could definitely be a reason to give Hyatt’s vacation rental platform a look…
