Update: Today is the deadline for Hyatt cardholders to register for 10% of their points back for stays through 9/5.

Originally posted on 5/23:

–Hyatt credit cardholders can register here to get 10% of their points back when they redeem them for stays through 9/5/17.

-If you need more Hyatt points you can buy them with a 30% bonus until 11:59pm CDT tonight.

-Registration will remain open until 6/30.
-Redeem your points for free nights, Points + Cash stays or toward room upgrades, dining and spa services completed between June 1 and September 5, 2017.
-Stays must be completed by 9/5, so if you are staying over that date, you’ll want to split up that award into 2 reservations.
-Points redeemed for Avis car rental certificates or points transferred to airline partners are not eligible for this promotion.
-Officially it states to allow 6-8 weeks after your points redemption has been completed for the points rebate, but based on experience from this promotion in the past, it should post much faster that that.

While the terms indicate that only points redeemed between 6/1-9/5 will qualify, Hyatt has confirmed to me that bookings made before 6/1 will qualify as long as the stay is completed between 6/1-9/5.

Here is the regular Hyatt award chart:

And here is the Hyatt award chart with 10% off award stays:

You can determine the category of every Hyatt hotel via this link.  Just toggle the category number to view other categories and expand the regions on the bottom to include hotels in the Asia/Pacific region or the Europe, Africa & Middle East region.

When booking a points+cash reservation I included a metric in the chart above that shows the rate that you’re effectively buying your points back at.

You’ll notice that points+cash stays are a worse value with the 10% off chart. That’s because you only get 10% of your points back, not the cash used.

The category 6 rate is normally the biggest points+cash bargain. You “buy” back or save 12.5K points per night for $150. Effectively you paid just 1.2 cents per point ($150/12,500) to save those 12.5K points per night. The category 1 and 7 points + cash deals are normally the worst as you are effectively paying 2 cents per point.
With 10% off the category 6 rate falls to 1.33 cents per point and the category 1 and 7 rates fall to 2.22 cents per point.

Note that standard awards have no blackouts or capacity controls on standard rooms and suites. However points+cash reservations are capacity controlled. A nice benefit of points+cash rooms is that they are considered a paid rate, so they qualify for all promotions that apply to paid hotel stays. On the flip side, Hyatt doesn’t charge resort fees on point stays or on free nights from their credit card, but you will pay a resort fee on points+cash stays.

Suite nights require a 3 night minimum stay and can only be booked over the phone.
