64 new Hyatt hotels where you can get 500 extra points per night

Editor’s note: We’ve updated this post with new hotels where you can earn 500 extra points per night.

I stayed at the Hyatt House Johannesburg Sandton in South Africa shortly after it opened in early 2022. However, when I checked my account activity after my stay, I earned far more points than expected.

Looking at the details, I noticed an “opening bonus” of 2,000 points. Then, I remembered that Hyatt offers 500 bonus points per night on qualifying stays at new hotels. Since Hyatt doesn’t require its members to register for this promotion, I unknowingly received the benefit.

Perhaps you, too, have forgotten about this promotion. Or, maybe you never knew about it. In either case, here’s what you should know about this World of Hyatt promotion, including the newest properties where you can earn 500 bonus points per night.

How to earn 500 bonus Hyatt points per night

This promotion is simple: World of Hyatt members receive 500 bonus points per night for qualifying stays at select hotels new to the Hyatt portfolio. To earn the bonus points, you must stay within a set time frame, typically in the first few months after the hotel opens. Specifically, you’ll only earn bonus points if your checkout date is during the offer period for your hotel.

To get the bonus points, you must provide your World of Hyatt number when you check in; you must also pay an eligible rate or redeem a free night award or World of Hyatt points. You’ll only earn bonus points for one room if you book multiple rooms during a stay.

The terms of this promotion note that it may take three to four weeks for the bonus points to appear in your account. In practice, though, Hyatt typically posts the new hotel bonus simultaneously with the other points for your stay.

If you enrolled in the Bilt Rewards Hyatt status trial and challenge, you can earn bonus points on stays that count toward this challenge.

The 500 Hyatt points per night you’ll get when booking an eligible rate or free night are worth about $8.50, based on TPG’s valuations. So, this promotion may be the tiebreaker when considering where to stay the next time you travel to a location with a new Hyatt hotel.

Bottom line

On top of earning 500 extra points per night, staying at a new Hyatt hotel can also be fun. After all, you’ll often get to stay in a new room with fresh furnishings. However, new hotels may still be working through some issues and may not have everything on-site completely functional.

I enjoy staying at new hotels, so I periodically check the list of new Hyatt properties. When planning trips, a glance at this list could help you earn an extra 500 points per night.

Best of all, the current list includes three Category 1 hotels, five Category 2 hotels, two Category A all-inclusive hotels and three Category B all-inclusive hotels. So, if you want to redeem World of Hyatt points for your stay, you can find several low-category options on the current list of new hotels that start at 3,500 points per night.
