Some promotions favor extended stays and some favor one nighters.
This is not a deal like FNF where 10 one-nighters earn 5 free nights anywhere.
Hyatt might have shelved that promotion for good now that they are playing in the big league of bank card points.
This promotion is certainly a good value offer for a person with extended stays.
Assume 3 or 4 hotel stays of 3 or 4 nights each at $200 per night during the three month promotion period. This is the typical business conference stay.
11 nights earns 25,000 bonus points.
25,000 points buys:
1 night at any category 6 hotel in the world (22,000)
2 nights at category 3 hotels (2 x 12,000)
3 nights at category 2 hotels (3 x 8,000)
5 nights at category 1 hotels (5 x 5,000)
Looking at the low end where a Hyatt category 1 hotel (19% of all Hyatts) requires 5,000 points for a free night, the value of 25,000 bonus points after 11 nights is equivalent to:
I use category 2 rather than category 1 to compare Marriott, Starwood and Hilton to Hyatt category 1 due to the low percentage of category 1 hotels in the respective chains compared to Hyatt. Marriott is about 6% hotels in category 1, SPG is 2%; Hilton is 1% while Hyatt is 19% in category 1.
At the high end of hotel rewards this 25,000 points offer after 11 nights is equal to 1 Marriott night at 40,000 to 50,000 points for a Marriott category 8 or Ritz-Carlton tier 3. Hilton HHonors 50,000 points for a category 7 or Waldorf Astoria 60,000 points high season award, or Starwood 20,000 points or 25,000 points peak season category 6 or even 30,000 for some category 7 hotels.
Are you going to earn that many points with Marriott, Hilton or SPG with 11 nights during this Hyatt promotion time period?
Not unless these other programs step up their promotions from the current offers!
