How many Hyatt points do you need for a free night?

You need 3,500 to 90,000 Hyatt points for a free night in a standard room. The exact number of Hyatt points you will need to cover a one-night stay depends on the type of room you select, the hotel location, and the date of your stay.

It’s also important to note that the Hyatt program does allow you to pay with a combination of points and cash when booking a stay. Keep that in mind when planning how to spend your rewards.

Hyatt Points Needed for a Free Night

You can use your points at a wide range of properties, as Hyatt has a diverse portfolio of brands, from budget-friendly options like Hyatt Place and Hyatt House to more upscale choices such as Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, and Andaz.

How to Book a Room Using Points

1. Log in to Your Account: Visit the Hyatt website and sign in to your account.
2. Search for a Hotel: Enter your destination, travel dates, number of guests, and select the "Use Points" option before you search to view the points rates. Then, click the search button.
3. Select and Book: Choose your preferred room or rate, review the points cost, and complete the booking by following the on-screen prompts. Be sure to check the cancellation policy before finalizing.

Hyatt points are worth around 2.1 cents each, on average. You can earn Hyatt rewards points by becoming a member of the hotel’s loyalty program, which is free to join, and booking your travel directly through the Hyatt website or at participating hotels. Using a co-branded Hyatt credit card for purchases is another way to earn extra points.

Hyatt Credit Cards

Hyatt rewards points do expire after 24 months if you don't use your account, and delaying redemption can put you at risk for rewards devaluation. So, you should use your Hyatt points as often as possible.
