Last Updated 2023-05-28 By R.Flowers III

Hyatt points are calculated based on base points, elite status points, and Hyatt credit card points. As a World of Hyatt member, you can earn anywhere from 5 to 10.5 Hyatt points per $1 spent at Hyatt brand hotels around the world.

Method Points Earned Per $1 Spent
Base points 5
Elite status 0.5 - 1.5
Hyatt credit cards 4

Base points per dollar

World of Hyatt members earn 5 Hyatt points per $1 spent on the base rate at participating hotels. Here are the Hyatt hotel brands that will earn you points on your stays:

So a hotel that costs you $152 per night would earn you 760 Hyatt Points per night. Base points are not earned on the taxes and fees portion of your bill.

Elite status points per dollar

You can earn elite status with Hyatt by staying at Hyatt brand hotels during the calendar year. You can qualify for elite status with Hyatt based on either nights or base points earned.

For example, you can earn Hyatt Discoverist status by staying 10 nights at Hyatt properties during the calendar year or you can earn Hyatt Discoverist status by earning 25,000 base points during the calendar year.

Based on your status within the World of Hyatt program, you'll earn a certain percentage of bonus points per $1 spent which is based on the base rate. The table below breaks down the Hyatt Elite Status requirements.

Level Bonus Points Earned
Member No Bonus 0
Discoverist 10% 0.5
Explorist 20% 1
Globalist 30% 1.5

Bonus points earned from Hyatt Elite status are in addition to the points that you earn at the base rate. So if the base cost of your stay costs $152 and you're a Hyatt Explorist, you'll earn 760 base points plus an additional 152 points from the 20% bonus for a total of 912 Hyatt points.

Hyatt credit card points per dollar

Hyatt offers two credit cards that will earn you Hyatt points per $1 spent at Hyatt brand hotels:

Using Hyatt credit cards to pay for you stay will earn you 4 additional Hyatt Points per $1 spent. Unlike base points and elite status points, Hyatt credit cards will earn you points on the full cost of the stay including taxes and fees.

Taxes aside, a $152 stay as a Hyatt Explorist using a Hyatt credit card to pay for the stay will earn you 760 base points, 152 elite status points, and 608 credit card points for a total of 1,520 points.

Since taxes and fees are included, you'll actually earn slightly more than that due to earning points on the taxes and fees using a Hyatt credit card.

Here are the credit cards you can use to earn 4X Hyatt's points on your stays:
