World of Hyatt las launched a new promotion where you can earn double points on international stays during Fall 2024. You need to register before your first stay in order for it to qualify and you only get double points starting with your second stay.

Quick Thoughts
It always makes sense to register for promotions like these just in case you end up being able to take advantage, but this will likely be of limited use to most readers. You only begin earning double points on your second stay and then only on stays outside the Americas. It’s also a bummer that Mr & Mrs Smith isn’t included, given how much of Hyatt’s international footprint it represents.
Double base points probably won’t most folks to shift any plans to Hyatt, but it can’t hurt to toss your World of Hyatt number just in case you end up with an unexpectedly expensive stay during the promo window.

“International” stays? It seems as a reader living outside the big ol’ US of A, I’m not a target of this blog, so I’ll unsubscribe.
No complaints here. I have two nights in the U.S. but 16 in Kuwait, Qatar, India, Kenya, and the Philippines before 12/20. I’ll gladly take the extra earnings.
Tim – you might want to correct this: “All points awarded under this promotion are Bonus Points. Only base points are doubled.”
Why is that? It’s in the terms of the promo.
I get that Hyatt analytics have improved to the point where they can specifically target where they want to incentivize business, but man, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen one that worked for me. I miss the days of 18,000 points for a three day stay in DC.
