Earn 500 Bonus World of Hyatt Points For Meditating (Points Posting)

Earn 500 Bonus World of Hyatt Points For Meditating (Points Posting)

38

Update: The points from last week’s promotion seem to be posting to World of Hyatt accounts today, with the description “Day of Gratitude Bonus” on the website, or “Reward Bonus” on the app. Keep an eye out for them. Below is the original post (the promotion is no longer valid — it was only valid on December 9).


Here’s an easy opportunity to earn 500 World of Hyatt bonus points today.

Hyatt has a focus on wellness, and today is Hyatt’s third annual Global Day of Gratitude (okay, to be honest, this is the first time I recall hearing about this, but…). Hyatt has a partnership with Headspace, offering guided meditations through the World of Hyatt app, through in-room TVs at Hyatt properties, and more.

Anyway, today you’re able to earn 500 World of Hyatt bonus points for completing a guided meditation with Headspace.

To take advantage of this today (during CST hours on Wednesday, December 9, 2020):

  • Open the World of Hyatt app (and if you don’t have it already, download it)
  • Complete one of the custom Headspace exercises — either Unwind, Reflect, or Sleep
  • Earn 500 bonus World of Hyatt points; I value World of Hyatt points at 1.5 cents each, so to me that’s worth ~$7.50

These meditations take just 5-10 minutes, so this could be a nice way to relax for a few minutes while also earning some points. I just completed mine, and quite enjoyed it. I might even try another one this evening, just for fun.

Note that there’s no registration or anything required, and there’s nothing in the app that makes it obvious that you earn points. However, World of Hyatt is able to track your activity, and points should automatically post within a few weeks if you complete one of the meditations. So worry not, you’re not missing anything if you don’t see anything in the app making this obvious.

Will you take part in this offer to earn bonus World of Hyatt points for meditating? If you took part in this, what did you think?

    @ Robert D my 500 points are still there.

  2. Robert D Member

    Weird. I checked two days ago and the points had posted. Balance was 500. The points are gone now. Balance 0. Don’t usually stay at Hyatt but I have a big stay coming up so I thought I’d grab those extra 500 points. Anyone else have them deleted? So weird.

  3. Scott Member

    Got mine. US account

  4. DLPTATL Diamond

    The link didn't work well for me, but the points have posted.

  5. Tim Guest

    No bonus here. Not sure what happened.

  6. MDA Diamond

    Mine arrived too. Australian account.

  7. Frank Guest

    Can confirm--mine posted today! An easy 500 points, and because they're Hyatt, they're actually worth something!

  8. Alaska Rick New Member

    Correction: Points posted today

  9. Alaska Rick Guest

    @ Will and @ Ben -- my points posted yesterday. In the app it shows "Reward Bonus" and on the web page it shows "Day of Gratitude Bonus"

  10. Quo Vadis? Diamond

    Thanks for the alert. See 500 points earned under 'Past Activity' dated Dec 15, 2020 and labeled 'Reward Bonus'

  11. Will Guest

    Mine posted this morning as well, but has the more generic description "Reward Bonus".

    1. Ben OMAAT

      @ Will -- In the app it shows "Reward Bonus" while it shows the above on the website. Or is it just me?

  12. Alaska Rick New Member

    Has anyone seen the 500 points post to their account?

  13. steve64 Guest

    Well perhaps the easiest ... yet also the most boring ... 500 points.
    I found the voice to be irritating. Just the opposite of its intention. I'd be sitting here relaxing then be rudely interupted to be told to "feel my inner body" or something like that.

  14. lou Guest

    Thanks for the tip. Quick and easy listening. Any idea when the points will post?

  15. Betsy New Member

    I listened to all 3 of the sessions. Easy to do. Thanks for letting all of us know about this promo and a good way to get the extension on expiring points.

  16. SAPMAN Guest

    I can now see the three Headspace sessions on the Hyatt app - was not there 6 hours ago. Does sound peaceful. There are some 15 second pauses, I guess for one to relax. Need to try it in evening. No indication I will get 500 Hyatt points for listening.

  17. eric Guest

    i only get basic meditation courses ...

  18. Robert D Member

    It doesn’t work. I am unable to open that section of the app.

  19. Luis Diamond

    I completed the 5 min meditation and at the end, there was no mention of the 500 points or anything. The audio file just ended and that was it. I'm skeptical.

  20. DL Guest

    Not bad except whenever the video was silent, I shifted my mind to what should I write here. Also, it asked me to scan through my body and I found my back was pain, my feet was cold and can not focus anymore.
    Will try it later since I have already finished the post and I'll put on socks and find a better sitting position.

  21. tom Guest

    Where is this in the hyatt app?
    I cannot find any link to start a meditation......or do I have to sign up to headspace first ?

  22. Brandon Guest

    I fell asleep during the meditation haha

  23. Mike C Guest

    I am Android. I open app and do not see when i scroll down any “Unwind with a guided meditation” notation. Do I need to go to a different menu in the app.

  24. Nick Member

    Enjoyed it...thanks for the heads up Ben!

  25. DLPTATL Diamond

    If the link is broken and you scroll down in the App to get to the "Unwind with a guided meditation" and select "start listening" will it count?

  26. DLPTATL Diamond

    @Ryan +1, The app opened a browser window where I also got the "Page not Found...Sorry, this page isn't available."

  27. Ryan Member

    I clicked through the app and got "Page not found." Anyone else having trouble?

  28. Yolanda Pacheco-Luna Guest

    OMG.. that was bad. (not your blog, but the mind numbing exercise)

  29. christ Guest

    needs iOs 13 .. bummer

  30. Bill n DC Diamond

    Nice, I'm going to try the sleep one tonight

    In the meantime listening to the other one on my phone while also listening to a Continuing Legal Education seminar on my computer is not relaxing LOL :-)

  31. Stuart Diamond

    As long as they don't notice that I will actually be drinking a martini and screaming on the phone.

  32. Steve_CC Guest

    Remember when SPG had promos where all you had to was type in Cowboys or some random NFL trivia and they gave you 1k points and got to spin a wheel for 10k or free nights. Those were the days.

  33. M Guest

    Absolutely love this, thanks for bringing this to our attention!

  34. Daniel D Guest

    Yes, I too am curious about whether this will extend the points expiration. By the way, did Hyatt extend points expiration due to covid-19?

  35. SubwayNut New Member

    Will this promo also help my Hyatt Points not expire, and extend the window another 24 months?

    I have a suprising number (to me) of Hyatt Points from 2 trips in Spring and Summer 2019, primiarly a bunch of points as compenstation when the hotel's computer network went down and it took us 3 hours to check in, but haven't stayed in a Hyatt since, keep trying to work them into our travel plans pre-COVID but it never quite worked out.

    1. Ben OMAAT

      @ SubwayNut @ Daniel D -- Yes, this should extend the expiration of your World of Hyatt points.

  36. Ryan Member

    Love it! Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Lucky.
