Last fall, Hyatt launched a short-term rental booking platform called Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt, similar to Marriott Homes & Villas. Unlike Airbnb, Hyatt sources short-term rentals and markets them for a commission, rebating some of that revenue to customers in the form of points and stay credit. Points can also be redeemed at modest-low value against these stays.
To date, the coverage of this platform has not been particularly impressive. Some users have even forgotten to check their offerings when interested in a short-term rental rather than a hotel.
Hyatt aims to change this perception by offering triple points on stays completed between August 21, 2024, and November 3, 2024. No registration is required for this promotion.
