Hyatt's giving away free points! Well, almost. They're offering 500 bonus points per night when you stay at their newest hotels. This is a super easy way to pad your World of Hyatt account, especially if you were already planning a trip to a city with a new Hyatt. It's basically free money (in the form of points, of course) for trying out a fresh property.
Right now, there are 39 hotels participating in this bonus offer. That includes 18 new properties that were just added in December 2025! To snag the bonus, you have to stay within the first few months after the hotel opens, so timing is key.
Why should you care? Five hundred points per night adds up quickly! Think of it this way: those bonus points can help you earn free nights faster or bump you up to a nicer room on your next vacation. Plus, who doesn't love being one of the first guests at a brand-new hotel? Clean sheets, fresh paint, and bonus points – what's not to love?
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.
