Last updated: October 22, 2026
World of Hyatt is selling points at 20% off from 12:00 a.m. ET on October 20, 2026 through 11:59 p.m. ET on December 21, 2026. Frequent Miler quotes those clocks in the promotion terms. InsideFlyer (October 21), AwardWallet (October 20), and One Mile at a Time use the same end.
The unsold price One Mile at a Time states is 2.6¢ a point, taxes and fees included. Twenty percent off 2.6¢ is 2.08¢. Buying the promo maximum of 110,000 points is $2,288. AwardWallet and One Mile at a Time both print that total.
That price is a top-off. The point sales row for this offer uses 1.65¢ as the typical value of a Hyatt point, the same figure The Points Guy’s October 2026 valuations give the program and the figure every MaxPoints tool uses. 2.08¢ is above 1.65¢. A purchase clears when a specific award night is already on the screen and the cash rate loses to the receipt. A balance you hope to use later does not clear it.
Before you buy points: Run your spending through the credit card rewards calculator. A buy-points sale does not fix a wallet that should be earning a transferable currency. Sapphire Reserve still moves Ultimate Rewards to Hyatt at 1:1. Bilt does too, through December 31, 2026. Transfer points you already hold for a night you will book. Pay cash for the gap those transfers should not cover.
The promo, without the fluff
Log in and open the Hyatt purchase page. The total on that screen is the offer.
| Detail | What the sources say |
|---|---|
| Window | Purchases from 12:00 a.m. ET on October 20, 2026 through 11:59 p.m. ET on December 21, 2026, in the terms Frequent Miler quotes. InsideFlyer uses the same clocks. One Mile at a Time ends the sale at 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday, December 21. AwardWallet’s key terms say 11:59 p.m. EST that night, which is the same clock: the United States is on standard time in December |
| Price | 2.6¢ unsold, per One Mile at a Time, inclusive of taxes and fees. 20% off is 2.08¢. MileLion notes that Hyatt raised the unsold price from 2.4¢ to 2.6¢ in 2025 |
| Who gets 2.08¢ | Disputed. Frequent Miler’s quoted terms, One Mile at a Time, AwardWallet, InsideFlyer, and MileLion put the discount on 3,000 or more points in one transaction. Upgraded Points, updated October 20, puts it on 5,000 or more. See the next section |
| Steps | 1,000 points. Frequent Miler, One Mile at a Time, InsideFlyer, and Upgraded Points all say so |
| Cap | The usual cap is 55,000 points per calendar year. During this promotion the purchase cap is 110,000. Frequent Miler’s quoted terms, One Mile at a Time, InsideFlyer, and MileLion all draw that distinction. 110,000 × 2.08¢ = $2,288 |
| Account age | At least 60 days, to purchase or to receive points, in the terms Frequent Miler quotes |
| Where | Online purchases only, in those same terms. InsideFlyer says the same |
| Who sells them | Points.com. Frequent Miler, AwardWallet, One Mile at a Time, Upgraded Points, and InsideFlyer all say the charge is not a Hyatt or travel purchase. MileLion adds MCC 7399 |
| Posting | AwardWallet says the terms allow 48 hours, and that purchased points often show sooner in its Balance Watch data. MileLion says usually within 48 hours, and that a first purchase can take longer |
| Status | AwardWallet’s key terms call purchased points “base points” that do not count toward elite status |
| Refunds | AwardWallet says purchased points are not refundable and the transaction is not reversible |
| Validity | MileLion says a purchase extends the entire balance by 24 months. One Mile at a Time states the general rule: points expire after 24 months with no activity, and earning or redeeming resets that clock. The two sentences are not the same claim |
This sale is listed with the other active sales on the point sales page. There is no transfer-bonus row for a points purchase.
What you pay per point
Every figure below is 2.08¢ when the 20% discount applies, and 2.6¢ when it does not. 2.6¢ × 0.8 = 2.08¢. $2,288 / 110,000 = 2.08¢.
The sources do not agree on a purchase under 5,000 points.
- Frequent Miler, October 21, quoting the promotion terms: buy 3,000 or more in one transaction and the price is 20% off. Purchases move in steps of 1,000.
- One Mile at a Time: the discount unlocks at 3,000. A purchase of 1,000 or 2,000 gets no discount.
- AwardWallet, InsideFlyer, and MileLion: the discount requires 3,000 points.
- Upgraded Points, updated October 20: two tiers. 2,000 to 4,000 with no discount. 5,000 or more at 2.08¢. The same post then prices a 3,000-point Category 1 night at $62.40, which is the discounted rate.
Read the total on the signed-in page. The table uses both readings under 5,000. From 5,000 up, the readings are the same.
| Points you buy | Cash if 20% applies | Cash at the published 2.6¢ | Cents per point |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | The reports that name this amount say the discount does not apply | $26 | 2.6¢ |
| 2,000 | Upgraded Points: no discount. One Mile at a Time: no discount | $52 | 2.6¢ |
| 3,000 (Frequent Miler’s quoted minimum) | $62.40 | $78 | 2.08¢, or 2.6¢ if the screen follows Upgraded Points |
| 5,000 (where every report has the discount) | $104 | $130 | 2.08¢ |
| 15,000 (Category 5, Lowest, on the chart below) | $312 | $390 | 2.08¢ |
| 45,000 (the Park Hyatt Tokyo night below) | $936 | $1,170 | 2.08¢ |
| 55,000 (the usual calendar-year cap) | $1,144 | $1,430 | 2.08¢ |
| 110,000 (the promo maximum) | $2,288 | $2,860 | 2.08¢ |
110,000 × 2.6¢ = $2,860. The 20% cut on that purchase is $572. Buying 110,000 points does not get a better rate than buying 5,000. It gets more points at 2.08¢, and it uses the promo cap.
A 3,000-point top-off is the awkward case. If your screen follows Frequent Miler, One Mile at a Time, AwardWallet, InsideFlyer, and MileLion, those 3,000 points cost $62.40. If it follows Upgraded Points’ tier list, they cost $78, and stepping to 5,000 to catch the discount means buying 2,000 points the night does not need, for $104. The page you are signed into decides it.
Price the night, then buy the gap
Search the award before a dollar goes to Points.com. Hyatt still publishes a chart. One Mile at a Time prints the current standard-room chart in the same post as this sale: eight categories, and five levels (Lowest, Low, Moderate, Upper, Top). Frequent Miler, writing on October 21, uses the same edges: Lowest awards start at 3,000 points as of May 20, 2026, and Category 8 runs from 35,000 on Lowest dates to 75,000 at Top. These rows are that chart, repriced at 2.08¢. They are the price when your search says so.
| Category | Lowest | At 2.08¢ | Top | At 2.08¢ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3,000 | $62.40 | 9,000 | $187.20 |
| 4 | 12,000 | $249.60 | 25,000 | $520 |
| 5 | 15,000 | $312 | 35,000 | $728 |
| 7 | 25,000 | $520 | 55,000 | $1,144 |
| 8 | 35,000 | $728 | 75,000 | $1,560 |
A peak-night gap is a small purchase when you already hold the Lowest price. On this chart, Category 4 Lowest is 12,000 and Category 4 Low is 15,000. The 3,000-point difference is $62.40 at 2.08¢, which is the smallest buy Frequent Miler’s quoted terms attach the discount to. Category 4 Top is 25,000. A balance of 12,000 against that night is a 13,000-point gap, which is $270.40. The cash rate on your dates is the comparison. The chart is the points price.
Three searches the reports actually priced:
| Stay the report priced | Points | Cash they cite | Points at 2.08¢ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyatt Place Los Cabos, Category 1 Lowest, one night. One Mile at a Time | 3,000 | $146.60, taxes and fees included | $62.40 |
| Hyatt Place New York / Chelsea or Hyatt Herald Square, Category 5 Lowest, two nights in December 2026. AwardWallet | 30,000 (2 × 15,000) | $1,193.34 | $624 |
| Park Hyatt Tokyo, one night One Mile at a Time prices at 45,000. That is the Low column on the Category 8 row of the chart in that post. He calls it medium-tier pricing | 45,000 | $1,398.50 | $936 |
$62.40 against $146.60 is a difference of $84.20. $624 against $1,193.34 is $569.34. $936 against $1,398.50 is $462.50. Those are the two numbers each report printed, subtracted. They are that day’s search. AwardWallet also priced two Lowest nights at the Category 7 Park Hyatt St. Kitts, 50,000 points, at $1,040, against member cash rates that “hover close to $1,500,” and put the savings at “about $443.” Use the rate on your screen. A cheaper cash night is a reason to pay cash.
Frequent Miler adds two facts that change the cash side of that comparison: an award stay waives resort and destination fees, and most hotel taxes are not charged on an award. The same post says you generally do not earn points on an award night unless a promotion pays on both paid and award stays. Read the rate you would actually buy, fees included, and then read the points price.
The 3,000-point Los Cabos line only costs $62.40 if your purchase page discounts 3,000. Upgraded Points’ tier list still has that buy at 2.6¢, which is $78, even while its Category 1 example uses $62.40. Confirm the line before you treat $62.40 as the receipt.
If you hold the World of Hyatt Card’s Category 1–4 free-night award, check whether that certificate already covers the night. The certificate is a different instrument from this checkout. Our World of Hyatt Card worth-it page is the fee math. It is not a promise that the certificate prices a Top-level night.
The points have to be in the account before you can book. AwardWallet’s reading of the terms allows 48 hours. Buy while the night is on the screen, with enough slack to book after the points show up. AwardWallet says the purchase is not refundable if the night disappears.
Purchased points do not move you toward status, on AwardWallet’s reading of the terms. A status plan does not run through this checkout.
Transfer Chase and Bilt before you buy
Two currencies on this site transfer to Hyatt. Neither transfer is improved by this sale. Buying is the cash gap after those transfers.
| How you get Hyatt points | What you give up |
|---|---|
| Buy them at 2.08¢ | 2.08¢ cash, when the page shows the discount |
| Sapphire Reserve, and Sapphire Reserve for Business, at 1:1 | A Chase point. The Points Guy’s October 2026 valuations put Ultimate Rewards at 2.05¢. One Hyatt point costs 2.05¢ of that planning figure |
| Bilt at 1:1, through December 31, 2026 | A Bilt point, valued at 2.2¢ in that same table. On January 1, 2027 the ratio becomes 4:3 |
| Sapphire Preferred or Ink Business Preferred at 4:3, since October 1, 2026 | 4⁄3 of a Chase point per Hyatt point. 2.05¢ × 4⁄3 is about 2.73¢ |
| Bilt at 4:3, from January 1, 2027 | 2.2¢ × 4⁄3 is about 2.93¢ |
A Category 5 Lowest night is 15,000 Hyatt points. At 2.08¢ that is $312 if you buy the points. The same 15,000 points from a Reserve is 15,000 Ultimate Rewards, about $307.50 at 2.05¢, and it spends points you already hold. From Bilt, through December 31, it is 15,000 Bilt points, about $330 at 2.2¢. From a Preferred or an Ink Preferred it is 20,000 Ultimate Rewards, because 20,000 × 3⁄4 = 15,000, about $410 at 2.05¢. From Bilt after January 1 it is 20,000 Bilt points, about $440.
Transfer the 1:1 balances first, for a night you will book.
- Sapphire Reserve, and Sapphire Reserve for Business, still transfer at 1:1. That ratio did not change on October 1. The planning figure, 2.05¢, is a hair under the 2.08¢ cash price, and the points are already yours. Our Reserve Hyatt piece is the longer version of who should hold the card for this partner.
- Bilt transfers at 1:1 through December 31, 2026, then 4:3 on January 1, 2027, for every member and every Bilt card. On the 2.2¢ planning figure, buying at 2.08¢ is slightly cheaper than moving Bilt. The reason to move Bilt anyway is a stay you have already priced and a ratio that dies on January 1. A stash is the wrong use: a 2.2¢ transferable point becomes a Hyatt point whose typical value on this site is 1.65¢. The Bilt ratio piece has the calendar.
- Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred have been 4:3 since October 1, 2026. 1,000 Ultimate Rewards become 750 Hyatt points. At about 2.73¢ of Chase value per Hyatt point, that transfer costs more, on the planning figure, than buying at 2.08¢. If Preferred is the only path you have, a cash top-off can be the cheaper way to cover a gap the award already needs. It is still a gap. The Chase 4:3 piece has the card-by-card table.
A 3,000-point gap, the Category 1 night or the Category 4 step from Lowest to Low, is the same comparison in miniature. Buying it at 2.08¢ is $62.40. A Reserve transfer is 3,000 Ultimate Rewards, about $61.50. A Bilt transfer is about $66. A Preferred transfer is 4,000 Ultimate Rewards, about $82. If the purchase page withholds the discount and 3,000 points cost the published $78, the Reserve transfer and the Bilt transfer both beat the receipt, and the Preferred transfer is close.
If another World of Hyatt member already holds the points, the free online gift is the move that spends no cash. It has been available since October 15, 2026. The rules, the 1,000-point minimum, the 500-point steps, and the 525,000-point yearly caps in each direction are in our member-transfer guide. One Mile at a Time notes that the gift can move points between accounts around the per-account purchase cap. AwardWallet’s buy-points page still describes a PDF form and a transfer once every 30 days. That section does not match the October 15 rule. Use the guide, then the screen.
Live card transfer bonuses, for an airline partner or for anything else you already hold, are a separate list. See all active transfer bonuses →. This purchase does not improve those transfers.
When to buy
Pay Points.com only when all of these are true:
- The night is already in your Hyatt search. A specific property, room, dates, points price, and cash rate you would actually pay. The 3,000, 30,000, and 45,000 figures above are the searches One Mile at a Time and AwardWallet priced. They are the price when your search says so.
- The screen shows 2.08¢ on the number of points you still need. From 5,000 points up, the reports agree. At 3,000 and 4,000, Frequent Miler’s quoted terms say yes and Upgraded Points’ tier list says no. A 2.6¢ checkout is the published price with the sale missing.
- The cash rate loses. The cash price of the room you would book, including the taxes and fees that rate charges, is greater than the purchase total. Frequent Miler’s point about waived resort and destination fees belongs in that comparison only when your rate actually charges them.
- You already moved the 1:1 points that fit this night. Reserve at 1:1, and Bilt at 1:1 through December 31, for a stay you will book. Preferred and Ink Preferred at 4:3 are the transfer that loses to 2.08¢ on the planning figure.
- The purchase is the gap, in 1,000-point steps, inside the cap. 110,000 points is $2,288. Points you already bought in 2026 may already sit on the counter. The section below is the part of that cap the sources do not settle.
- The award can survive the posting delay. AwardWallet allows 48 hours. The discount follows a purchase completed by 11:59 p.m. ET on December 21. The room does not have to wait with you.
- The card you use is one you would want for a non-travel charge. Points.com processes the sale. A Hyatt card’s hotel multiplier, and a travel-category bonus, are the wrong thing to expect. MileLion classifies the charge as MCC 7399. Which card earns on the rest of your spending is the calculator’s question.
The clean yes: you are short a known number of points for an award night you have already priced, the purchase page shows 2.08¢ on a buy you will actually redeem, a 1:1 Chase or Bilt transfer does not already cover it, and the cash rate is higher than the receipt.
When to leave the cash alone
Skip the sale if any of these are true:
- Nothing is bookable. Buying 110,000 points because a headline says 20% off, then searching an empty calendar, is $2,288 for points you hope a future award will price kindly. At the 1.65¢ typical value, that stash is worth $1,815. The receipt is $473 above that figure.
- The cash rate is the ordinary one. A Category 1 night whose cash price is near $62, or a night whose points price times 2.08¢ meets the flexible cash rate, is a night to pay for in dollars.
- Your screen does not show 20% off. A 1,000-point or 2,000-point purchase is 2.6¢ on One Mile at a Time’s reading. A 3,000-point purchase is 2.6¢ on Upgraded Points’ tier list. That is $26, $52, or $78, with the sale missing.
- You still hold Reserve points, or Bilt points, and the night is real. Transfer those at 1:1 before you pay cash. Bilt’s 1:1 window closes December 31, 2026.
- You would be buying status. AwardWallet says purchased points do not count toward elite status.
- The cap is already used. A checkout that will not sell you the points is a different offer from the headline. AwardWallet says a completed purchase is not refundable.
- The night is fragile and the points have not posted. Forty-eight hours is the window AwardWallet cites. A second purchase is a second non-refundable charge.
- You are buying a pile for someone else. The free gift moves points you already hold. Our member-transfer guide is the rule set. A purchase in a second account is still a purchase, with its own 60-day clock and its own cap.
What we could not confirm
Five places where the public reports do not say the same thing. The signed-in purchase page is the price, the cap, and the clock.
- The discount floor. Frequent Miler’s quoted terms, One Mile at a Time, AwardWallet, InsideFlyer, and MileLion say 3,000. Upgraded Points says 5,000, and then prices 3,000 points at the discounted $62.40. We did not have a logged-in purchase page for this check.
- What 110,000 counts against. The terms Frequent Miler quotes still include the 55,000-point calendar-year sentences, and then a sentence that members can purchase up to 110,000 during the promotion. One Mile at a Time, InsideFlyer, and MileLion describe that as the usual cap doubled for this sale. AwardWallet’s key-terms bullet and Upgraded Points say 110,000 per calendar year and do not restate 55,000. The same Frequent Miler quote says additional bonus points from the offer do not count toward the maximums. This offer is a discount, so that sentence does not describe a second pile of points. We could not confirm how many points a member who already bought in 2026, including the sale that ended October 5, can still buy.
- The last hour. Frequent Miler, InsideFlyer, One Mile at a Time, and Upgraded Points end the sale at 11:59 p.m. ET on December 21. AwardWallet says 11:59 p.m. EST, which matches, because daylight saving time ends on November 1, 2026 and December 21 is standard time. MileLion’s buy-points page, bylined August 9 and rewritten over the earlier sale, says 11:59 a.m. Singapore time on December 22. That instant is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on December 21, one hour earlier than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. 11:59 p.m. EST is 12:59 p.m. in Singapore on December 22.
- Whether a purchase, by itself, extends the balance. MileLion says it extends the entire balance by 24 months. One Mile at a Time says any earning or redemption activity resets a 24-month inactivity clock, and does not say a purchase is that activity. We did not find the sentence on a Hyatt terms page in this check.
- How fast the points post. AwardWallet says the terms allow 48 hours, and that its users often see points in about 14 hours. It also says those users open Balance Watch when points do not post immediately, so the average is likely shorter than 14 hours. MileLion says a first purchase can take longer than the usual 48 hours.
The verdict
Buy Hyatt points in this window only for an award night you can already price, at 2.08¢ on your own purchase page, after a 1:1 transfer from Sapphire Reserve or from Bilt has covered what those points can cover.
The clock is 12:00 a.m. ET on October 20, 2026 through 11:59 p.m. ET on December 21, 2026. The unsold price is 2.6¢. The sale price the reports agree on, from 5,000 points up, is 2.08¢. A Category 1 Lowest night is 3,000 points, $62.40 when the discount applies, against the $146.60 cash rate One Mile at a Time found at Hyatt Place Los Cabos. A Category 5 Lowest pair of nights is $624, against the $1,193.34 AwardWallet found in New York for December 2026. The promo cap is 110,000 points, which is $2,288, against a usual cap of 55,000. Under 5,000 points, confirm the screen. Upgraded Points still has the discount starting at 5,000.
The typical value on the point-sales row is 1.65¢, so 2.08¢ does not clear a valuation by itself. It clears a night whose cash price is higher than the receipt. This 2.08¢ price is the one Hyatt has been repeating: AwardWallet’s table shows the same 20% discount ending October 5, 2026, April 7, 2026, and December 20, 2025. The better recent prices in that table are a 25% discount at 1.95¢ that ended April 14, 2025, and a 25% bonus at 1.92¢ that ended January 4, 2025. This round is the standard price, not a rare low.
Find the night. Read the cash rate. Read the total on your purchase page. Then buy exactly the points that award requires.

This article reflects the World of Hyatt buy-points promotion reported for October through December 2026. Checked October 22, 2026. A logged-in purchase page was not available for this check. Confirm the discount, the cap, and the award on your own account before you pay.
- Frequent Miler, Buy Hyatt points for 2.08 cents each, Stephen Pepper, October 21, 2026: 20% off through December 21, 2026, which is 2.08¢, on a purchase of 3,000 or more. The key terms quoted there: purchases from 12:00 a.m. ET on October 20, 2026 through 11:59 p.m. ET on December 21, 2026; 3,000 or more in a single transaction; the account must be at least 60 days old to purchase or receive points; increments of 1,000, up to 55,000 points per calendar year, and up to 110,000 during the promotion; additional bonus points awarded under the offer do not count toward those maximums; online purchases only; Points.com processes the payment, so it does not earn a Hyatt or travel bonus. Best uses he names, from the May 20, 2026 chart: Lowest awards from 3,000 points, which is $62.40 at 2.08¢, and Category 8 from 35,000 on Lowest dates to 75,000 at Top, which is $728 to $1,560. Award stays waive resort and destination fees, most hotel taxes are not charged, and an award night generally does not earn points. Past 2.08¢ discounts he lists: August 6 to October 5, 2026; February 17 to April 7, 2026; October 20 to December 20, 2025. He says a Sapphire Reserve transfer at 1:1 will likely beat buying.
- InsideFlyer, World of Hyatt cuts points purchase price through December, edited by Randy Petersen, October 21, 2026, citing Frequent Miler: 2.08¢ through December 21; online purchases of at least 3,000 points; 12:00 a.m. ET October 20 through 11:59 p.m. ET December 21; 60 days of membership; 1,000-point increments; the usual cap is 55,000 per calendar year and the promotion allows up to 110,000; Category 1 awards from 3,000 points at $62.40, and Category 8 from 35,000 Lowest to 75,000 Top; Points.com, so a Hyatt or travel bonus does not apply; a 1:1 Chase transfer can be the better path.
- AwardWallet, Buy Hyatt Points With a 20% Discount (2.08 Cents Each), Harrison Pierce, October 20, 2026, reviewed by JT Genter: 20% off when you buy at least 3,000, at 2.08¢, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 21, 2026. Key terms: 11:59 p.m. EST that night; 60 days of membership; up to 110,000 points per calendar year in that bullet; points post within 48 hours; not refundable; “base points” that do not count toward elite status; processed by Points.com, so the charge is not a hotel or travel purchase. The body also says the maximum during this promotion is 110,000 points for $2,288. Standard-room awards run from 3,000 to 75,000 across five levels, and the all-inclusive chart runs from 12,000 to 85,000. Searches he priced: Park Hyatt St. Kitts, Category 7 Lowest, 25,000 a night, two nights for $1,040 against member cash rates close to $1,500 and savings of about $443; Hyatt Place Charlotte Airport/Lake Pointe at 3,000 points, $62.40, against a cash rate regularly over $150 after taxes; Hyatt Place New York / Chelsea and Hyatt Herald Square, Category 5 Lowest at 15,000, two nights for $624 against $1,193.34 cash in December 2026. The history table on that page is the one cited above, including the 25% discount at 1.95¢ that ended April 14, 2025, the 25% bonus at 1.92¢ that ended January 4, 2025, and the 20% discounts at 2.08¢ that ended October 5, 2026, April 7, 2026, and December 20, 2025. Its “two-player” section still describes a PDF transfer form and one transfer every 30 days. That is not the rule in our October 15 member-transfer guide.
- One Mile at a Time, Buy World Of Hyatt Points For 20% Off (2.08 Cents Each): through 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday, December 21, 2026; the discount unlocks at 3,000 points in one transaction; 1,000 or 2,000 gets no discount; the unsold price is 2.6¢ inclusive of taxes and fees; 110,000 points cost $2,288; the usual cap is 55,000 per calendar year before bonuses, doubled to 110,000 during this promotion; the account must be 60 days old; Points.com, so the charge is not Hyatt spending; free online member transfers of up to 525,000 points a year, which he notes can move points around the per-account purchase cap. The standard-room chart in that post is the one in the table above. Worked examples: Hyatt Place Los Cabos, Category 1 Lowest, 3,000 points, $62.40, against $146.60 cash; Park Hyatt Tokyo at 45,000 points, which he calls medium tier and which is the Low column on his Category 8 row, $936, against $1,398.50 cash. Points expire after 24 months without activity, and earning or redeeming resets the clock. He values a Hyatt point at about 1.4¢, which is his figure, not the 1.65¢ this site uses. Chase: 1:1 from Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business, 4:3 from Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred. Bilt: 1:1 now, 4:3 for every Bilt card from January 1, 2027. Recent sales he lists before this one match Frequent Miler’s: August 6 to October 5, 2026 at 2.08¢; May 14 to July 27, 2026, a 20% bonus at 2.17¢; February 17 to April 7, 2026 at 2.08¢; October 20 to December 20, 2025 at 2.08¢.
- Upgraded Points, Buy World of Hyatt Points With a 20% Discount, Jarrod West, updated October 20, 2026: 20% off through December 21, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET; the discount on a purchase of 5,000 or more, at 2.08¢; 2,000 to 4,000 with no discount; maximum 110,000; increments of 1,000, up to 110,000 per calendar year; 60 days of membership; Points.com, so a World of Hyatt card does not earn a category bonus. The post values a Hyatt point at 1.4¢. It also says a Category 1 Lowest night is 3,000 points and $62.40, which is the discounted price, and that Chase Ultimate Rewards and Bilt both transfer at 1:1. It does not mention the October 1 Preferred and Ink change or the January 1 Bilt change.
- The MileLion, World of Hyatt offering 20% discount on points purchases, Aaron Wong. The byline is August 9, 2026. The body now describes a 20% discount through 11:59 a.m. Singapore time on December 22, 2026, a 3,000-point minimum, a usual cap of 55,000 doubled to 110,000, posting usually within 48 hours with a first purchase possibly slower, and a purchase that extends the entire balance by 24 months. It also describes the online member transfer (up to 525,000 sent and 525,000 received, both accounts at least 60 days old) and says a purchase is processed in U.S. dollars by Points.com under MCC 7399, so it does not code as a hotel transaction. The category index for the same post still summarizes the earlier sale that ran until October 6, 2026. Treat the page as a rewritten standing post, and treat the clock note above as the reason its end time is an hour off the Eastern Standard Time deadline.
