New Hyatt Hotel where you can get 500 extra points per night

I stayed at the Hyatt House Johannesburg Sandton in South Africa shortly after it opened. I noticed the “introductory bonus” of 2,000 points when I checked my account activity after my stay. Then I remembered that Hyatt offers 500 bonus points per night to eligible guests staying at new hotels.

I accidentally received the benefit because Hyatt does not require members to sign up for this promotion. Perhaps you also forgot or never knew about this promotion. In either case, here’s what you should know about it World of Hyatt promotions, including the newest properties where you can earn 500 bonus points every night.

How to earn 500 Hyatt Rewards points every night

This promotion is simple: World of Hyatt members receive 500 bonus points per night on qualifying stays at select new hotels in the Hyatt portfolio. You must stay within the specified time frame to earn bonus points, which is usually within the first few months after the hotel opens. Specifically, you will only earn bonus points if your payment date falls within the promotional period for your hotel.

To receive bonus points, you must provide your World of Hyatt number when registering. You must also pay the qualifying price or exchange one Hyatt Free Night Award (including Hyatt points redemption). You will only earn bonus points for one room per night.

The terms of this promotion note that it may take three to four weeks for bonus points to appear in your account. In reality, however, Hyatt often posts new hotel rewards at the same time as other points for your stay.
