World of Hyatt has just opened registration for its latest Bonus Journeys promotion, which is the first we’ve seen since November 2023.
This offer is valid for stays between 1 March and 30 April 2024, and offers registered members up to 21,000 bonus points in total.

Here’s the key details of World of Hyatt’s latest Bonus Journeys promotion:
- Registration is required prior to your first eligible stay, and must be done by 15 April 2024
- 3,000 bonus points will be awarded for every three nights completed from the first stay onwards
- There is no need for the three nights to be consecutive
- Award stays are eligible to earn the bonus
- This promotion is valid for stays at all Hyatt properties, participating MGM resorts, selected SLH locations, and Lindblad Expedition experiences
- Check-out dates must fall within the promotion period to qualify, i.e. between 1 March to 30 April 2024
The bonus is capped at 21 eligible nights, which mean a maximum of 21,000 bonus points. While World of Hyatt members can earn points for multiple rooms, only one room will qualify towards this promotion.
I value World of Hyatt at about 1.7 US cents each, so you effectively earn an incremental return of US$51 per three nights stayed. This is identical to the previous promotion that ended in November 2023.
I don’t think it’s a particularly strong offer, so it wouldn’t necessarily cause me to shift my stay plans. However, the rebate is relatively higher if you plan to stay at low cost properties, and at least award stays are also eligible to earn the bonus.
How many World of Hyatt points do I earn?
Here’s a quick recap of how many World of Hyatt points you earn per US$1 spent, depending on tier.

World of Hyatt fast track offer
 |
| Check your eligibility |
As a reminder, World of Hyatt is running a year-long fast track offer for employees of selected MNCs, which grants them instant World of Hyatt Explorist status for a 90-day period, bypassing the usual 30 night requirement.
During this period:
- members who stay 10 qualifying nights will retain Explorist status until February 2026
- members who stay 20 qualifying nights will be upgraded to Globalist status until February 2026
Qualifying nights include both points and cash stays, at Hyatt hotels and resorts worldwide of Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties.
You’ll need to register by 31 December 2024, but the sooner you complete the challenge the better, since the status expiry date is fixed at February 2026 regardless.
This offer is open to employees of an unspecified list of companies. You can always try your luck by entering your membership number and company email. Known successes include Apple, Ernst & Young, Google, IBM, PWC, Linkedin, Microsoft and Netflix.
Conclusion
World of Hyatt’s latest Bonus Journeys promotion kicks off in March 2024, and awards 3,000 bonus points per three nights. Like the previous offer, there’s no “hurdle stay”; you’ll earn the bonus from the first stay onwards.
Even if you have no plans to stay at a Hyatt property just yet, you should probably take a moment to register, just in case.
DBS Staff is eligible for the fast track as well.
Hyatt actually made a tweak to this year’s promotion compared to the previous years’.
You wrote “Check-out dates must fall within the promotion period to qualify, i.e. between 1 March to 30 April 2024”. I believe this is inaccurate.
