I stayed at the Hyatt House Johannesburg Sandton in South Africa shortly after it opened in 2021. When I checked my account activity after my stay, I noticed a “opening bonus” of 2,000 points. Then I remembered that Hyatt offers 500 bonus points per night on qualifying stays at new hotels.
I received the benefit without knowing it since Hyatt does not require members to register for this promotion. Maybe you too have forgotten about this promotion or never found out about it. In any case, here’s what you should know Hyatt WorldNew hotel promotion, allowing you to earn 500 bonus points per night.
How to earn 500 extra Hyatt points per night
This promotion is simple: World of Hyatt members receive 500 bonus points per night for qualifying stays at select new hotels in the Hyatt portfolio. You must stay within a set time period to earn bonus points, usually in the first few months after the property opens. Specifically, you’ll only earn bonus points if your checkout date falls within your hotel’s offer period.
To earn bonus points, you must provide your World of Hyatt number when you register. You must also pay an eligible fare or redeem a Hyatt Free Night Award (including Hyatt points redemption). You will only earn bonus points for one room per night.
The terms of this promotion note that it may take three to four weeks for bonus points to appear in your account. However, in practice, Hyatt typically posts the new hotel bonus with the other points you earned during your stay.
