While World of Hyatt’s first Bonus Journeys promotion of 2025 ended in late March 2025, we’ve just seen the program launch a new global summer promotion, though it has greater brand restrictions. Still, it has the potential to be pretty lucrative.
In this post:
World of Hyatt rewarding limited service hotel stays
Registration is open for World of Hyatt’s new promotion, which is valid for stays over the coming weeks and months. This promotion is valid for stays between June 10 and September 7, 2025. With this, you can earn bonus rewards for stays at Hyatt’s limited service brands globally, including Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, and Hyatt Studios. Specifically:
- If you stay three nights, you can earn a total of 3,000 bonus points
- If you stay five nights, you can earn a total of 8,000 bonus points
- If you stay eight nights, you can earn a total of 16,000 bonus points
There are some details to be aware of as, you’d expect:
- Registration is required prior to your first eligible stay, and between June 10 and September 7, 2025
- The date range for the promotion is based on checkout dates, so you must complete a stay by September 7, 2025, for it to be eligible
- You can earn a total of up to 16,000 bonus points with this promotion, which you’d unlock after staying a total of eight nights
- It doesn’t matter whether your nights are consecutive or all for different stays, as eligibility comes down to cumulative nights over the course of the promotion
- Any stay booked directly with Hyatt qualifies toward the promotion, including stays booked prior to the start of the promotion, as well as award stays
- Points will post within two to three weeks of completing an eligible stays
- Only one room can qualify toward this promotion; so while you can earn points for multiple rooms, you would only earn the bonus based on one room
Crunching the numbers on Hyatt’s promotion
How lucrative is World of Hyatt’s new promotion? For context, I value World of Hyatt points at ~1.5 cents each. Just to recap World of Hyatt’s regular points earning rates:
- World of Hyatt members ordinarily earn 5x base points per dollar spent at Hyatt properties
- Elite members receive further bonuses — Discoverists earn an extra 0.5x points per dollar spent, Explorists earn an extra 1.0x points per dollar spent, and Globalists earn an extra 1.5x points per dollar spent
- If you pay with a co-brand Hyatt credit card you earn an extra 4x points per dollar spent
So with this promotion, you’d essentially earn 1,000 bonus points per night if staying exactly three nights, 1,600 bonus points per night if staying exactly five nights, and 2,000 bonus points per night if staying exactly eight nights. Based on my valuation of 1.5 cents per point, that’s like an incremental return of $15 to $30 per night.
That’s actually really lucrative, if you ask me, with the obvious caveat that it’s only so rewarding if you stay exactly that many nights.

- You can earn a free Category 1-4 free night when you stay at new Hyatt brands with the Brand Explorer promotion
- You can maximize value with Hyatt stays by booking through the Hyatt Privé program
Bottom line
World of Hyatt has just launched its latest promotion. For stays between June 10 and September 7, 2025, members can earn up to 16,000 bonus points for stays at Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, and Hyatt Studios properties. This offers a maximum of 2,000 bonus points per night (if staying exactly eight nights), and that’s a good offer.
What do you make of this World of Hyatt promotion?
Perfect, I needed a way to somehow get closer to 60 nights this year. Currently at 30 - booked 8 nights at a Cat 1 Hyatt Place (3.5k/night), + my 20 and 30 night milestone rewards (2K Next Stay Award), I'm all-in for net 8k for 8 nights.
This timing is exactly what I would expect, just finished 5 nights at Hyatt Place hotels in May, and have just one remaining for the rest of the year. Nobody narrowly misses promotion windows like me.
I have 9 Hyatt nights booked during the promo period, but only 3 at Hyatt Place. That's not too exciting, but at least I don't have 4 nights at HP. What would be really exciting is a double qualifying night promotion otherwise I'll need to spend like crazy on the Hyatt card to make globalist. It's looking like 48 nights for me in 2025.
The restriction to three economy sub-brands suggests the same trend is showing up everywhere: luxury travel demand remains fairly robust, but mass travel is weakening a lot. Airline CEOs are saying the same thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjICM9tnsdk
Very easy to get economy award seats to almost anywhere; nearly impossible to find premium cabin seats.
That's true, but Hyatt has also been flogging the heck out of HP/HH for a few years now. I feel like this is /far/ from the first HP/HH-oriented promo they've run in the last year or two.
I only got 1,000 points a night ….3nnights 3,000 5 nights 5,000 8 nights 8,000
Maybe cause I’ve stayed 84 nights this year
@ Cj -- It's the same promotion for everyone, the amounts you mention are just the incremental points earning at each tier, rather than the cumulative points earning.
I sould post on blogs before I’ve had 2 cups of coffee lol. ….thanks
Does one get the bonus if they book on points?
Well that's unfortunate, I had some nights booked for my wedding later this year but the promo ends before that stay.
