Hyatt points expire after 24 months of account inactivity, or if your account is closed. You can keep your points active by earning or redeeming points at least once every 24 months, and you should use any remaining rewards before closing your account to avoid losing them.
When Hyatt Points Expire
- After 24 months of account inactivity, meaning no earning or redemption.
- When you close your account without redeeming any unused points.
- When Hyatt closes your account due to program rule violations or fraudulent activity.
Keep your Hyatt account active and in good standing to avoid closure and the loss of your points. Review the program’s terms and conditions for updates that could affect your account status.
