Hyatt has excellent properties around the world. You can stay at these properties with the World of Hyatt Points. Compared to the US, there are limited opportunities to earn Hyatt points in India. But today, we will tell you about the multiple ways to earn Hyatt Points in India or outside the USA.
Sign up and Become a World of Hyatt Member
Before earning Hyatt points, you must become a World of Hyatt Member. The World of Hyatt is a free-to-join Hotels Loyalty Program from Hyatt.
Earn Points For Stays at Hyatt Hotels & Resorts
Every World of Hyatt member earns five Hyatt points for every $ spent on hotel stays. So, let’s say you Stay at “Grand Hyatt Goa” and pay a room charge of INR 8400 excluding taxes. On these charges, you will receive 500 Hyatt Points. However, stays at Hyatt Studios Hotels earnings are set at 2.5 Hyatt points for every $. Although Hyatt’s points earnings are lower than other hotel chains, it offers one of the best values per point.
If you plan to book multiple rooms, earning points is limited to three rooms only.

Earn Points on Dining & Spa
Even if you’re not staying at any of the Hyatt hotels and just dining or taking a lovely spa, you also earn Hyatt Points. You can earn up to five Hyatt points per $ spent on these spending.
Stay at Mr & Mrs Smith
Hyatt ended a Small Luxury hotel partnership and now partners with Mr & Mrs Smith. For stays at Mr & Mrs Smith, you earn base points and bonus points according to the elite tier.
And, there are a few Mr & Mrs Smith resorts in India. So, you have the opportunity to earn more Hyatt points.
Earn at Homes & Hideaways by WOH [US for Now]
Hyatt has entered property rental, similar to Airbnb or Marriott Homes & Villas. You can earn 5 Base points for every $ spent at Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt. You also earn bonus points as per Elite status. However, at present, only USA properties have been added. We may see more properties coming soon outside the USA.
Also, until 3rd November 2024, you earn 3x points on stays at Homes & Hideaways.
New Hyatt Hotel Stays
Hyatt has been generous to members for Staying at their new hotels. You can earn 500 Hyatt bonus points if you stay at these new properties. Also, you can earn these bonus points even using a “Free Night Award”.
Earn Bonus Points on Offer
From time to time, Hyatt runs both targeted offers and global promotions. These offers allow you to earn bonus points, sometimes at a fixed rate or sometimes at multiples of base points. Few of them require registration, whereas few do not. Hyatt is running a double-point promotion for stays starting on 7th October 2024.
Celebrate Your Wedding Day at Hyatt
Indians are known for their big fat weddings. What if you can earn earned points that have great value? This is where Hyatt comes in. If you celebrate your wedding day at participating hotels, then you will earn Hyatt bonus points with a honeymoon offer. You can earn Hyatt points whenever you celebrate your wedding at Hyatt Hotel with the offer code “HMOON”. These Hyatt points vary based on your spending.

If you host an event at Hyatt with a minimum of 10 hotel room bookings and spend over $5000, you can earn Hyatt Bonus Points. Eaning is set at 1 Hyatt bonus point for every $1. A maximum of 50,000 bonus points can be earned per event.
If several members host these events, bonus points can be split among them. However, the guest won’t receive any points for this stay. Hosting a meeting or event and earning points together is good.
Points on Find Experience
There is limited earning opportunity on earning points on Hyatt Find Experience. You can earn points on Find Experience in West Bengal, Goa & Rajasthan. Other countries in Asia are Indonesia, Japan, Maldives, Oman, Singapore, Saudia, Thailand, Uzbekistan & Vietnam.
You earn ten base points for every $ on Find Experiences as a World of Hyatt member.
Earn Points with American Airlines
In addition to earning AA miles, you can earn 1 World of Hyatt point on a spend of $1 flying with American Airlines. American Airlines has direct flights from India to multiple cities in the USA.
This benefit is only available to Hyatt Elite members.
Buy World of Hyatt Points
You can buy your World of Hyatt points if short on them. In rare cases, you can get more value out of your points than the cost of points. Also, Hyatt runs time-to-time bonus points on purchases or discounts on the purchase price of points. So, it can be worth a try to buy points to get more value out of your Hyatt points.
Combine Points
As per Hyatt policy, two Hyatt members can combine points. However, it can be done only once in 30 days. Both members have to fill out and sign the form. This form has to be sent via post or email. For most of us, sending it via email to “[email protected]” will work. Once Hyatt receives the email, it may take more than 24 hours for points to be credited, and in some cases, it may be late.
Rent a Car with Avis
With every Avis rental, you can earn 500 Bonus Hyatt points. Also, by providing the K817700 number, you can receive discounts. However, 500 Bonus points are too low.
Hyatt Best Rate Guaranteed
So, Hyatt offers a Best Rate Guaranteed for all direct bookings. If you find a lower rate within 24 hours of booking, you can get a 20% discount or a 5K Bonus point. Usually, 20% off would be the best option, and on rare occasions, 5K points would be the best option. If you have a best-rate guaranteed claim, file it here and check the terms and conditions before you do.
Brand Explorer
The brand explorer is not a way to earn Hyatt Points. However, if you are looking to earn points to redeem them for free night stays, then Brand Explorer is another way to get a free night.
For every five Hyatt brands you stay, you get one free night award, usable at any category 1 to 4 hotel. So, instead of using points, use a certified earned with the help of Brand Explorer Promotions.
Bottomline
There are many ways to Earn Hyatt Points in India or outside the USA. These ways can earn you many points for your free award nights. I liked the points on the wedding offer, so there is an opportunity to earn a lot of points. You have to find what you like and want to do. Points will eventually come.
