UPDATE – APRIL 2025:  This article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above.

In an interesting move, World of Hyatt has launched a new promotion which is restricted to its 320 hotels in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

It could be simpler, unfortunately:

  • you will receive double base points (so 10 per $1 equivalent) on stays between 7th October and 20th December 2024
Hyatt launches a double points promotion
  • you only receive your bonus from the 2nd qualifying stay during the promotional period
  • you must register before your stay via this link although you do not need to rebook existing stays
  • registration is open now and closes early on 4th November 2024
  • you are limited to 20,000 bonus points which would represent $4,000 of pre-tax spending
  • Mr & Mrs Smith hotels and hotels in Greater China are not participating

For clarify, your first ‘qualifying stay’ must also be at one of the 320 participating hotels in EMEA and Asia Pacific. You can’t stay at a US hotel and then expect double points the following week from an EMEA stay.

I actively dislike rules like this. In this case I have good reason – I have a €1,000 Hyatt stay booked from 8th October. I’m not going to earn the bonus unless I do a cheap mattress run on 7th October, the first day of the offer, which isn’t realistic.

This will double up with the Lufthansa offer

For stays between 7th October and 31st October, this offer will double-up with the Lufthansa offer we covered in this article.

You will earn 1,000 Miles & More miles on top of (not instead of) your World of Hyatt points during this period.

Don’t forget to register for the ‘double points’ offer here before your next stay.

    Didn’t British Midland do a tie-up with Eurostar years ago?

  • Rendy says:

    Is anyone getting both AA and LH miles on Hyatt stays? I set my account to AA so am getting bonus AA miles on top of regular Hyatt points earnings. Worried that activating the LH promo will disable the AA bonus (albeit earlier this year in a similar situation I was getting AA and Etihad miles, alongside Hyatt points – not sure if that was a glitch).

  • Max says:

    Air France already offer this on certain routes. Flight to CDG, then a TGV for the last leg. I assume if your flight is delayed, your train connection is protected.

  • Robert says:

    Pre-pandemic, I used Air France to travel from Brussel to Paris CDG by TGV and onwards with AirFrance. I remember checking-in luggage at an AirFrance desk at Brussel Midi Train station. You would receive boarding cards for train and airplane at Brussels Midi, but you had to take the baggage yourself (economy) to CDG to the bagage drop off counter. Not sure if this still is in operation, but the system was there. And yes, if the plane is delayed on your return, you will just get a seat on the next TGV.
