GUIDE
How to use Hyatt hotel brands to earn and redeem points
Facts checked: 18 October 2026
Key takeaways
- Participation is set property by property, not by brand, so not every hotel within a brand participates.
Which Hyatt brands count as Point Properties?
| Brand or property | What applies |
|---|---|
| Hyatt Studios | |
| Destination by Hyatt | |
| The Standard, The StandardX, Bunkhouse | |
| Rio Hotel & Casino | |
| Ventana Campground at Alila Ventana Big Sur |
How does earning work across the brands?
To earn, a member must be a registered guest at a participating Point Property, pay an eligible rate and check in and complete the stay. Points are awarded on eligible room spend, and the rate depends on the property.
| Property | Base Points per whole US dollar |
|---|---|
| All Point Properties other than Hyatt Studios | 5 |
| Hyatt Studios hotels | 2.5 |
Do award stays work at every brand?
Redemption runs through the Point Properties, and Hyatt may add blackout dates or limit the number of rooms available for award redemption. Hyatt also reserves the right to change awards, benefits or the points required.
Which Hyatt hotels sit outside the programme?
Exceptions and limits
- Cancelled or no-show award stays. These do not count as a redemption for the inactivity measure.
- Choosing partner credit instead of points. AAdvantage members can keep choosing 500 AAdvantage miles in lieu of World of Hyatt points on eligible Hyatt stays by giving their AAdvantage number at check-in, even after the wider partnership concludes. [4]
- Linking deadlines. Members who linked their World of Hyatt and AAdvantage accounts by 11:59:59 p.m. CT on 15 November 2026 can keep earning World of Hyatt awards through Loyalty Point Rewards until 28 February 2027, and World of Hyatt members who linked by the same deadline can keep earning AAdvantage awards through Milestone Rewards until 31 December 2026. [4]
- Billing conditions. The bill for qualifying charges must be in the member's name and paid by the member, subject to the programme's billing conditions.
