Hyatt Double Points
To kick off their new branding, World of Hyatt has launched the Double Points for Being You promotion.
You can earn double points at Hyatt for stays through April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.
Every Hyatt stay earns 5 points per dollar. With this promotion, you’ll 10 points per dollar after your second stay.
Hyatt double points earned with this promotion are bonus points vs base points. Meaning the points you’ll earn do not count towards your World of Hyatt lifetime points. Nor do they count towards earning tier status like Globalist. But they are redeemable for free hotel stays.
Pro-tip: Make sure your World of Hyatt profile shows earn Base points vs earn miles. Or you will not get the double points.
3 Easy Steps to Get Hyatt Double Points
1. Register at Double Points for Being You.
2. Earn Hyatt double points after your second stay from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.
3. Include your World of Hyatt number on your reservation and at check-in
Only World of Hyatt Members can earn Hyatt double points. You can join World of Hyatt for free.
Mlife stays will earn Hyatt double points. If booked through MGM Resorts, Hyatt.com, or by phone with Hyatt.
Pro-tip: Stays booked through online travel agencies like Expedia will not earn double points.
Why You Should Register for the Hyatt Double Points Promotion
You should register for the promotion even if you only have 2 stays from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.
Because you’ll earn double points after the second stay, it makes sense to register. Otherwise, you’re throwing away points.
Unlike previous Hyatt promotions, you had to stay 5 times before you earned bonus points. With the Double Points for Being You offer you get bonus points after 2 stays.
How to Maximize the Hyatt Double Points Promotion
Because travel hacking is my middle name, I’m always looking for the angle and how to increase my points. Here’s how you can maximize the Hyatt double points promotion. More points = more free hotel stays!
Throwaway Hotel
A throwaway hotel is a cheap hotel that you book so you can take advantage of a great deal.Book an inexpensive Hyatt hotel for your first stay. Remember bonus points begin with your second stay.
Book an inexpensive Hyatt hotel for your first stay. Remember bonus points begin with your second stay.
So it can be worth spending a little bit of money so that you can start earning double points on an expensive stay. Especially if you’re staying at for several days or have an expensive hotel booked during the promo period.
3X Points
The Hyatt Double Points offer is combinable with other promotions.
You can earn 3x points (triple points) when you book a double your points rate. So look for the Double Your Points rate offer when you book your room. But do the math to see if booking a double point stay is worth the extra cost.
Bounce Hotels
Not every hotel offers a Double Your Points rate. So consider bouncing hotels each night.
Pro-tip: You earn 1 free night at any Category 1 to 4 Hyatt hotel for every 5 Hyatt stays. You have to stay at five different Hyatt brand hotels to earn a free night. You can earn 2 free night per year.
Invite Friends and Family
You can earn Hyatt double points on up to 3 rooms. If traveling with friends or family, put their rooms in your name and pay their bill. Make arrangements for them to pay you back if you aren’t treating them to a free stay.
Stay Often
There is no limit to the number of Hyatt double points you can earn. So the more you stay, the more bonus points you’ll earn.
Get a Spa Treatment or Order Room Service
You can earn double points on all eligible incidental spending. So you’ll earn Hyatt double points on things like spa treatments and room service.
Pro-tip: You will not earn double points on dining and spa purchases if you are not staying at a Hyatt hotel.

So can your first (qualifying) stay be on a Cash and Points rate?
Hi Steven,
Yep, your first (qualifying) stay can be on a Cash and Points rate. 🙂
Have you confirmed the Double Your Points & Double Points Promotion = 4x Points ?
Ex: $100 room on a double your points rate during the double points promotion = 2000 points (
or
$100 room on a double your points rate during the double points promotion = 1500 points
Hi C.Mac,
I just checked my account and it looks like you earn 3x with a double points rate during the double points promo. I’ve corrected the post to reflect 3x not 4x.
You earn 5 points per dollar on Hyatt stays.
Here’s how it breaks down:
$100 room booked at a double your points rate during the double points promo earns 1,500 points
$100 room booked during the double points promo earns 1,000 points
If you’re a Discoverist, Explorist or Globalist you’ll earn an additional 10 to 30% bonus on the base (promos not included).
