Another reason we love the World of Hyatt rewards program: the opportunity to earn a free night by playing “Hyatt Bingo,” also known as Hyatt Brand Explorer. You can earn a Free Night Award for every five different Hyatt brands you stay at, and then redeem it at a Category 1-4 hotel. Now this is in addition to the annual free night I get every year by holding The World of Hyatt Credit Card. Let’s take a look at my account:
Now for starters, I should tell you that I wasn’t actively trying to stay at different brands….it just happened like so. As a family of 5, I prioritize finding the best deal (in points/night), and/or if a Hyatt property has a family plan rate available.
- In New York, we stayed at Hyatt Place Flushing/LaGuardia Airport (May 2022).
- In Seattle, we stayed in a suite at Motif Seattle, which is part of the Destination By Hyatt hotel collection (July/August 2022).
- My husband had to go to Seattle for work, and I had him book – through my account – Hyatt House Seattle/Redmond (September 2022).
- In the Bahamas, we stayed at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar (October 2022).
- In Toronto, I stayed at Hyatt Regency Toronto (October 2022).
All these stays (except for my husband’s work trip) were on points, but you can earn this Free Night Award by paying an eligible rate, redeeming points, or redeeming an earned Free Night Award at five different Hyatt brands. Keep in mind you can keep playing “Hyatt Bingo,” so for every 5 stays at different brands, you will earn a free night. Now it’s time for me to apply the free night certificates I have towards our European travels next year 😉
