Through the World of Hyatt loyalty program, members earn 5 Base Points for every eligible dollar spent at Hyatt hotels and resorts. This includes the room rate as well as other "qualified" incidental charges like dining, spa treatments, and laundry that are charged to your room folio. If you have elite status, you earn a percentage-based "Bonus" on top of those 5 base points: Discoverists get a 10% bonus (5.5 points total per dollar), Cathists get 20% (6 points), and Globalists receive a 30% bonus (6.5 points per dollar). If you use a co-branded World of Hyatt Credit Card for the purchase, you earn an additional 4 Bonus Points per dollar, bringing a Globalist's total to 10.5 points for every dollar spent. In 2026, Hyatt points remain some of the most valuable in the travel industry, often valued at around 1.7 to 2.3 cents per point, meaning you are essentially receiving a 10-15% "rebate" on your spending in the form of future travel rewards.
