I stayed at the Hyatt House Johannesburg Sandton in South Africa shortly after it opened. When I checked my account activity after my stay, I noticed an unexpected "opening bonus" of 2,000 points. Then, I remembered that World of Hyatt offers 500 bonus points per night on qualifying stays at new hotels.
I unknowingly received the benefit, since Hyatt doesn't require members to register for this promotion. Perhaps you, too, have forgotten this promotion — or never even knew about it. In either case, here's what you should know about the World of Hyatt promotion that allows you to earn 500 bonus points per night at new hotels.
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 Hyatt free night certificate (including redeeming Hyatt points). You'll only earn bonus points for one room per night.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
