World of Hyatt Launches 2026 edition of “Bonus Journeys”: Up to 28,000 Points are up for grabs

World of Hyatt has launched its first global promotion for 2026. While it might not be the most exciting bonus recently offered by a hotel loyalty programme, it’s still worth examining if you have upcoming stays.  Dubbed Bonus Journeys, this new offer allows World of Hyatt members to earn extra points on top of the regular points from hotel nights.

A couple is standing on the edge of an infinity pool, holding hands and looking at a scenic view of a canyon. The woman is wearing a flowing red dress, and the man is in a blue jacket and white pants. There are lounge chairs and umbrellas nearby. The text on the image reads "Limited Time Only Bonus Journeys Are Here."

World of Hyatt Bonus Journeys 2026 Promotion

The new World of Hyatt Bonus Journeys promotion offers the following:

  • 3,000 bonus points for every three eligible nights at any Hyatt property worldwide, up to 21,000 bonus points.
  • 1,000 bonus points for every three eligible nights at Hyatt Place or Hyatt Select hotels, up to 7,000 bonus points.

That means a total of up to 28,000 bonus points — which isn’t jaw-dropping, but if you’re already planning a string of stays, this could significantly boost your balance without much extra effort.

The image contains promotional text for a bonus points offer. It states that you can earn "3K Bonus Points for every 3 eligible nights, up to 21K Bonus Points, at participating hotels worldwide" and "1K Bonus Points for every 3 eligible nights, up to 7K Bonus Points, at Hyatt Place and Hyatt Select hotels." The text is centered and framed by a thin blue border.

To participate in the promotion, you need to register before your first eligible stay and complete nights between February 2 and April 15, 2026, for them to count toward this promotion. An important nuance: it’s your checkout date that determines eligibility, and nights don’t need to be consecutive – meaning you can spread stays across trips so long as all checkouts land in the promo window. Award stays count towards the promotion as well. 

Is It Worth Chasing?

World of Hyatt members already earn base points on eligible rates and award stays, 5 points per dollar, plus additional elite and card-linked bonuses.  This promotion effectively adds about 1,000 extra points per night, and 1,333 points per night at Hyatt Place/Select properties. 

If your travel plans already include Hyatt stays in the first quarter of the year, this is a nice little kicker. If you’d be booking solely to chase these points, the math starts getting fuzzier — especially compared with some promos in years past.

Where It Fits With Other World of Hyatt Offers

World of Hyatt often has other earning opportunities running year-round — think bonus points for stays at new hotels, seasonal offers on Vacation Club nights, and more.  Pairing Bonus Journeys with other ongoing deals can sometimes turn a modest promotion into meaningful value.

Additionally, if you choose a Hyatt Prive or a Virtuoso participating property, you can also get some VIP Benefits on your stay. You can reach out to us here to book a hotel.

Bottomline

World of Hyatt has just launched its first Bonus Journeys promotion of 2026. For stays between February 2 and April 15, members can earn 3,000 bonus points for every three nights stayed (up to 21,000 bonus points), plus an additional 1,000 bonus points for every three nights stayed at select limited-service brands (up to 7,000 bonus points). This is an opportunity to earn an incremental 1,000-1,333 bonus points per night, depending on the brand and how many nights you complete. Just keep in mind the cap of 28,000 bonus points.
