Quick Thoughts

If you’re able to stack this with triple bonus from the current Bonus Journeys promotion and you have your accounts linked to also earn 1 American Airlines mile per dollar spent at Hyatt and/or you have very recently (since 8/16) opened the World of Hyatt credit card to earn double elite nights, the return on certain paid stays can be excellent.

To illustrate that point, imagine you have registered for triple points on stays of 2 or more nights (registration is now closed) and you made a qualifying 2-night stay at $100 per night. You would earn:

• 3,000 World of Hyatt points based on triple points (15 x $200)
• 200 American Airlines miles (1 mile per dollar spent)
• 1,000 bonus American Airlines miles
• At least 2 elite nights (4 if you have recently opened the credit card)
• As many as 300 bonus points from status (if you’re a Globalist)
• 800 points if paying with the World of Hyatt credit card (at 4x)

That would be a total of 4,100 Hyatt points and 1,200 American Airlines miles on a 2-night stay at $100 per night. That’s a heck of a rebate on a $200 stay.

The geographic restriction here will be disappointing for those without plans in the included regions. I find the marketing a bit odd in that they are offering American Airlines miles to folks who are either located in areas where those miles are probably hard to accumulate or a pretty narrow crowd of folks traveling to places that mostly aren’t served by American Airlines. I guess they must want some of that data for some reason, but it’s too bad that this isn’t easier to access for most members.
