Understanding Hyatt Free Night Awards
Hyatt Free Night Awards are rewards offered by Hyatt that allow for a free night's stay at eligible properties. They can cover the entire cost of a night's stay, allowing travelers to stay at high-end properties they might not otherwise consider. Please note that it is always a good idea to read the full terms and conditions of your awards.
There is an ever expanding footprint of Hyatt properties across the globe ranging from luxury boutique properties to budget-friendly airport hotels. World of Hyatt properties are each assigned a category number from one through eight, with Category 8 properties generally being the most expensive. Hyatt Free Night Awards can be redeemed for a night at any Category 1-4 property.
Let's breakdown how you earn a free night award and what properties it may cover based on how it’s earned.
Earning Hyatt Free Night Awards with the World of Hyatt Credit Card
The World of Hyatt Credit Card is a Chase co-branded card. Cardmembers can earn World of Hyatt points with eligible purchases that can then be redeemed for rewards including free nights at Hyatt hotels. In addition, cardmembers get one Hyatt Free Night Award every year after their cardmember anniversary. Free Night Awards earned with the World of Hyatt Credit Card are valid for one night at a Category 1–4 property.
On top of that free night after your cardmember anniversary (that you receive just for being a cardmember), you can also earn a free night by shopping with your World of Hyatt Credit Card. You can earn a Free Night Award when you spend at least $15,000 in purchases on your card in a year.
