It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a World of Hyatt global promotion, with the last one ending in April 2024. While there have been a handful of regional and brand-focused promotions since then, it’s been a very quiet 2024 otherwise.
But World of Hyatt is kicking off 2025 by launching a new edition of Bonus Journeys, which is valid for stays between 27 January to 28 March 2025. Registered members will earn 2X or 3X points depending on brand, which is fairly decent if you ask me.
New World of Hyatt Bonus Journeys promotion

| Register Here |
World of Hyatt’s latest Bonus Journeys promotion offers:
- 3X points for stays at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties
- 2X points for stays at all other World of Hyatt brands
Here’s the key details of the promotion:
- Registration is required prior to your first eligible stay, and must be done by 10 March 2025
- Stays booked prior to the start of the promotion are eligible; all that matters is that your check-out dates fall within 27 January to 28 March 2025
- Award stays are eligible to earn the bonus, though you’ll only earn points on incidentals and not the room rate
- While World of Hyatt members can earn points for multiple rooms, only one room will qualify towards this promotion
-
You must book your stays directly with Hyatt to be eligible for this offer
A member is capped at earning up to 30,000 bonus points under this promotion, split into 10,000 bonus points for the 3X points promotion, and 20,000 bonus points for the 2X points promotion.
Given these caps, you’d max out the promotion after spending US$1,000 with the 3X points promotion, and spending US$4,000 with the 2X points promotion.
How many World of Hyatt points do I earn?
Here’s how many points World of Hyatt members will earn with this promotion. Remember, only the base points are doubled, not the elite points, so the incremental is a flat 5/10 points per US$1 across all tiers.

5 | 5 (2X) 10 (3X) |
10 (2X) 15 (3X) |

11.5 (2X) 16.5 (3X) |
I value World of Hyatt points at about 1.7 US cents each, so all members can earn an incremental return of 8.5-17% under this promotion. For a base tier member, your overall rebate could be 25.5%, which is rather generous.
World of Hyatt fast track offer
 |
| Check your eligibility |
World of Hyatt has extended its fast track offer for 2025, which offers employees of selected MNCs 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 2027
- Members who stay 20 qualifying nights will be upgraded to Globalist status until February 2027
Qualifying nights include both points and cash stays, at Hyatt hotels and resorts worldwide.
You’ll need to register by 31 December 2025, but the sooner you complete the challenge the better, since the status expiry date is fixed at February 2027 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 participants include Apple, Ernst & Young, Google, IBM, PwC, LinkedIn, Microsoft and Netflix.
Conclusion
After a very long hiatus, we’re finally seeing another World of Hyatt Bonus Journeys promotion, which offers an extra 3X points at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties, and 2X points at all other World of Hyatt brands.
I particularly like that there’s no “hurdle stay” nor minimum stay requirement; you’ll earn the bonus from the first stay onwards, even if it’s just a single night.
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.
