Hyatt Bonus Journeys: Details and How to Register
World of Hyatt’s Bonus Journeys promotion comes around every so often, and taking advantage of it when it comes around is a great way to pad your Hyatt points balance.
This time, you’ll need to register first, which will make your stays eligible to earn bonus points from the date you register (as early as February 2) through April 15, 2026.
Here’s what you can earn:
- 3,000 bonus points for every 3 eligible nights (up to 21,000 bonus points) at any participating World of Hyatt property, including Hyatt hotels and resorts, Mr & Mrs Smith, The Venetian Resort, and Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt.
- An additional 1,000 bonus points for every 3 eligible nights at Hyatt Place and Hyatt Select hotels (up to 7,000 bonus points).
All told, you can earn up to 28,000 bonus points, which are worth just north of $600 based on recent AwardWallet user redemptions. These bonus points come on top of the base points you’ll earn from the stay itself.
Also keep in mind that an eligible night includes both paid stays and nights booked with points.
