If your World of Hyatt balance is low and you lack sufficient Bilt Rewards Points or Chase Ultimate Rewards points to transfer, Hyatt's latest promotion might be of interest. Until April 14, a 25% discount is available when purchasing 5,000 or more Hyatt points.

Hyatt recently announced its 2025 category changes, effective March 25. This may provide an incentive to purchase points now if planning a stay at one of the 118 properties set to increase in price.

Normally, Hyatt sells points for 2.6 cents each. With the current discount, the rate drops to 1.95 cents per point. The Points Guy (TPG) values Hyatt points at 1.7 cents each as of February 2025; however, there are instances where greater value can be obtained from these points.

Hyatt remains one of the few hotel loyalty programs with a fixed award chart, allowing for predictable rates regardless of cash prices during holidays or high-demand periods. Nevertheless, their peak and off-peak pricing means that award charts have varying prices based on predicted travel demand.

The upcoming category changes could justify buying additional points now. For example, if you have \54,000 Hyatt points saved for a three-night stay at Thompson Palm Springs—a Category \5 property requiring \20,000 points per night on standard dates—the price will rise to \25,000 points per night starting March \25.

Instead of needing an extra \15,000 points after March \25 for your stay, you could purchase \6,000 points for \$117 and secure your reservation today.

The Hyatt award chart begins at \3,500 points per night for Category \1 properties on off-peak nights. This translates into award nights starting under \$69 with the discounted rate. There are notable Category \1 options like Hyatt Place Krakow in Poland available.

For those traveling during high-demand events such as college football games in Gainesville each fall—a two-night stay that might cost nearly \$1,\500 cash—would require just \30,\000 points which can be purchased for \$585 under this promotion.

Additionally great value can be found using points to book suites without incurring hotel taxes or fees on award stays while combining cash and free night awards through Pay My Way feature is also possible
