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.

Not every points sale needs an article.
Especially when the points sale is as bad as this one.
This price is about 40% over fair value for Hyatt points post devaluation. And it’s at least 20% over an aggressive value for the points.
There isn’t value to be had here
As always the only person that should buy points at bad prices is someone very close to a redemption or with a clear arbitrage already identified when they were going to spend cash instead.

Yeah, for real, this is tone deaf, especially with the pending massive devaluation. Unless you have a specific award booking and need to top-off ASAP, this is a huge NOPE.
The Rakutan-BILT promotion ends soon, like, today, so what are you even talking about?
I don’t mind Ben posting anything he wants to; we can ignore the posts we don’t like or use; that said, yeah, this promotion is poo-poo, mainly because of the major Hyatt devaluation inbound.
This could make sense if you can lock in a few bookings before the devaluation.
Worth it? Almost never no. With the devaluation this isn't much of a deal at all. Only people this works for are people who are REQURIRED to buy points to top off an upcoming award AND they have no time to earn the points for any of the other much better means. The points game is becoming less and less valuable with every passing day.
Oh come all ye faithful clients, buy our points now and then we will devalue them.
Could we call it a scam?
