Any comment or explanation? Thank you.
Hyatt does not offer a 4th or 5th night free with points. However, since June they’ve been running a points rebate effectively making every 4th night free for World of Hyatt Credit Card Holders. It’d be about every 7th Night Free for non-Cardholders.

So far that’s slated to end on 2/28.

I’m personally hoping they do a tiered rebate promotion as follows -

10% Back for Discoverists

15% Back for Explorists

20% Back for Globalists

Which would effectively make every 5th Night Free for Globalists, every 7th Night free for Explorists and every 10th Night Free for Discoverists.

The only thing that’s sort of better about the current offer or my proposal is that it doesn’t all have to be in one stay.

You could stay 3 Nights then a week later stay 2 more Nights and that 5th night would still be effectively free!

I value Hilton points at 0.4 cents per point per point and Hyatt points at 1.5 cents per point so almost a 300% difference in valuation.
