Hyatt 20% Rebate on Award Redemptions
Update: This may be targeted. At least one reader who is a cardmember reports not being eligible.
Update 2: Hyatt has confirmed that all current cardholders are eligible. New cardholders are eligible if they register by 3/31/15. More info here.
Hyatt has released a promotion which makes me sad that I no longer hold their card. Through July 31, 2015, registered members will receive 20% of their points backs on award redemptions. That is amazing.
Before you run over and apply for their credit card (something I considered doing), keep in mind that the terms state this promotion is only valid for “cardmembers in good standing as of 1/31/2015.”
How It Works
- Register for this promotion by clicking here and entering your information before March 31, 2015.
- Book a stay with points and complete your stay before July 31, 2015.
- Get 20% of your points back. Your points will be deposited directly into your Hyatt Gold Passport account 4-6 weeks after your completed stay.
How Much Will Awards Cost at 20% Off
- Category 1 – 4,000 (5,000 normally)
- Category 2 – 6,400 (8,000 normally)
- Category 3 – 9,600 (12,000 normally)
- Category 4 – 12,000 (15,000 normally)
- Category 5 – 16,000 (20,000 normally)
- Category 6 – 20,000 (25,000 normally)
- Category 7 – 24,000 (30,000 normally)
The Hyatt Credit Card Best Offer
While it says this deal will only work for cardholders as of 1/31/15, I wonder if they will know when you got the card. Keep in mind I am not recommending that anyone speculatively apply for the Hyatt credit card, but I thought I would use this opportunity to remind you of how to get the best offer.
The normal public offer for the Hyatt credit card gives 2 free nights at ANY Hyatt property worldwide. My wife and I used the nights from her card last year at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. What an amazing experience.
Anyway, if you are thinking about applying, there is a way to get the 2 free nights plus a $50 statement credit by creating a dummy booking. You can find the step by step instructions along with my full review here. (No affiliate links.)
Conclusion
I am seriously jealous of Hyatt credit cardholders right now. Hyatt is my go to chain and I love my Diamond status, so I am constantly redeeming their points for hotel stays. Hyatt points are very valuable and this is one of the best hotel promotions I have seen in awhile!

If I already have a stay booked. Do I have to cancel it and rebook it to get the 20% back or is registering enough?
No, thankfully you don’t. As long as you are registered by 3/31, then all stays between 2/17 and 7/31 will get the 20% rebate retroactively. You don’t need to do anything else other than register. Hyatt is making this super easy!

Did you cancel the Hyatt CC？Why not keep it for the annual free night？
