World of Hyatt has just launched a promotion on purchased points, which is the program’s second such offer of the year. World of Hyatt is a valuable points currency, and there’s definitely value to be had here for some, especially if you don’t have access to World of Hyatt points via transferable points currencies.

I often get better than 2.5cpp on my stays, but the rumours of Hyatt introducing spend/base point requirements for status make me slightly wary of buying more points at this time. At least there's no rush to get stuck in.

I guess I was meaning the potential above-globalist tier, which a certain Ben Schlappig suggested would have a revenue requirement.

Tbf, I'd have no chance of meeting a top tier revenue requirement even if I did 365 nights in Hyatts each year, so I guess I shouldn't worry too much about it!

Getting the maximum "cash value" per point isn't necessarily the smartest way to decide which hotels to stay at using points. I will happily accept a lower "cents per point" outcome to get a property that is more suited to my needs.

Of course. I merely meant that, if better than 2.5cpp is available at your chosen hotel, you definitely don't want to be paying cash instead.

This is clearer than equivalent values at other chains, because most Hyatt promotions are valid for points stays, not just cash stays.

I was just booking a hotel for 2 nights at 220EUR/night (approx $493 USD total), but noticed that it was only 7,500 points/night, and purchasing 15,000 points is only US$312 total (before Canadian sales tax that unfortunately gets charged on my points purchases).
