Hyatt loyalists, get ready to pack your bags (and your binoculars)! Hyatt just announced a partnership with Mr & Mrs Smith to add 15 amazing Asilia Africa properties to its portfolio. We're talking ultra-luxe lodges and campsites smack-dab in the middle of East Africa's best national parks and reserves.
Why should you care? Because you can now EARN and REDEEM your precious Hyatt points for unforgettable safari experiences. Imagine racking up points while spotting lions, elephants, and giraffes, or finally using that stash of points for the adventure of a lifetime. This is a HUGE win for anyone who loves wildlife and wants to travel in style (and with points!).
These aren't your average hotels – we're talking bucket-list-worthy destinations. So, if a luxury safari has always been a dream, now's the time to start planning! This new partnership opens up a whole new world of travel possibilities for Hyatt members, allowing you to leverage your World of Hyatt points in some of the most incredible places on Earth.
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
