Below, I outline the main ways in which to earn and accumulate World Of Hyatt points.
1. Visit a Hyatt and spend $
World Of Hyatt members earn five World Of Hyatt points for every eligible dollar spent at Hyatt (see below for all of the Hyatt Resorts) and M Life Resorts. These dollars can be spent on hotel stays, and even on spa and restaurant charges even if you are not staying at the hotel. (Some exceptions apply). World Of Hyatt Elite Status members earn even more on stays. Discoverist members earn a 10% bonus, Explorist members earn a 20% bonus, and Globalist members receive a 30% bonus on base points earned on stays. Note that these bonus points do not count towards the Member’s elite status qualification.
Note, Hyatt has been adding a lot of different properties to their portfolio and Hyatt Resorts now include the following: Park Hyatt, Miraval, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt, Andaz, Hyatt Centric, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Thompson Hotels, Alila (some locations only and only when each location begins participating), Joie de Vivre (some locations only), Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, or Hyatt Residence Club property. In addition, Small Luxury Hotels of the World, was added back in 2018.
