World of Hyatt offers 500 bonus points per night on qualifying stays at new hotels. Although 500 bonus points might not sound like a lot, they are worth $8 based on TPG’s September 2026 valuations.
Hyatt doesn’t require members to register for this promotion, so you may have forgotten (or never known) about it. Here’s a quick look at the World of Hyatt promotion that allows you to earn 500 bonus points per night at new hotels.
Earn 500 points per night at new Hyatt hotels
The promotion is simple: World of Hyatt members receive 500 bonus points per night for qualifying stays at select hotels new to the Hyatt portfolio. You must stay within a set time frame to earn the bonus points, typically in the first few months after the property opens. Specifically, you’ll earn bonus points only if your checkout date falls within your hotel’s offer period.
To earn bonus points, you must provide your World of Hyatt number when checking in. You must also pay an eligible rate or redeem a Hyatt free night certificate (including Hyatt points), but groups, conventions, other promotional offers, tour packages and special rate programs aren’t eligible. You’ll only earn bonus points for one room per night.
The terms of this promotion state 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 with the other points you earned during your stay.

Bottom line
On top of earning 500 extra points per night, staying at a new Hyatt hotel can also be fun since you’ll likely get to be in a room with new furnishings. However, new hotels may still be resolving some issues, and not all on-site facilities may be fully operational.
The current list includes seven Category 1 hotels and 12 Category 2 hotels. So, if you want to redeem World of Hyatt points for your stay, you can find several low-category options on this list.
