(EXPIRED) New Hyatt Bonus Journeys Promo: Earn 2,022 Points Per 2 Nights + Bonus Points For Hyatt Cardholders

Hyatt is launching a new promotion which is once again called Bonus Journeys. While it’s not as generous as the Bonus Journeys promo that kicked off 2021 with the ability to quickly and easily earn Globalist status, the bonus points you can earn are still nice – especially seeing as it’s valid on both paid and award stays.

There’s also an additional promotion for Hyatt cardholders that’ll earn you even more bonus points when staying at eligible properties in 10 US cities.

The Deal

• Earn 2,022 bonus points for every two nights you stay at Hyatt during the promotion period.
• Hyatt cardholders earn 1,000 bonus points per stay at 180+ properties in the following cities:
  • Boston
  • Chicago
  • Dallas
  • Denver
  • Los Angeles
  • Nashville
  • New York City
  • San Francisco
  • Seattle
  • Washington D.C.
• Direct link to registration

Quick Thoughts

As mentioned at the start of the post, this promotion isn’t as rewarding as the Bonus Journeys promotion that started in 2020 and ran through the first couple of months of 2021, thereby kicking off the year with the ability to earn Globalist status easily due to the double elite nights on offer on top of the 3x/4x point earning ability.

This new Bonus Journeys promotion doesn’t offer double elite nights or an enhanced earning ratio on paid stays, but it’s still a fairly good offer seeing as you’ll earn 2,022 bonus points for every two nights you stay. That doesn’t have to be consecutive nights and it’s not based on a per-stay basis either, so you could book a three night stay and a one night stay to wind up with 4,044 bonus points as an example. You can earn up to 20,220 bonus points during the promo period which means you’ll max out this part of the promotion when staying a total of 20 nights.

If you’re a Hyatt cardholder and you stay at one of the eligible properties in the ten cities listed above, you’ll also earn 1,000 bonus points per stay. If you’re booking one night stays at those properties, you’ll be earning a total of 4,022 bonus points for every two nights when taking into account the bonus points from both promotions. With a limit of 10,000 bonus points on offer, you’ll max that out after ten stays at eligible properties.

One of the best features of this promotion is that award nights are eligible too. If you happen to be staying at category 1 properties that cost 5,000 points per night, you’ll be getting back 2,022 points for every 10,000 you redeem – a 20.22% rebate on your redemption. The bonus point ratio isn’t as good on higher category stays, but most hotel promotions don’t offer you anything at all for award nights, so I’ll gratefully accept any points they want to throw my way when redeeming points.
