The rate, the window and the minimum
World of Hyatt sells points at 2.08 cents each through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on 21 December 2026. The discount applies to a purchase of 3,000 points or more in one transaction, and it takes 20 percent off Hyatt's standard 2.60 cents. Points sell in 1,000-point increments.
The window opened at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time on 20 October 2026. Hyatt takes orders online only.
The ceiling
Hyatt's standing limit is 55,000 points bought per calendar year and 55,000 points received per calendar year. This promotion raises the purchase ceiling to 110,000 points. A full 110,000-point purchase costs $2,288, which divides to 2.08 cents a point.
AwardWallet reads the ceiling as 110,000 points per calendar year. Hyatt's own buy-points page returned a 403 to a direct request on 21 October 2026, so the standing figure rests on the terms the publishers reproduce.
What each tier costs at this rate
World of Hyatt prices standard rooms across eight categories and five tiers: Lowest, Low, Moderate, Upper and Top. Award nights run from 3,000 points at Category 1 Lowest to 75,000 at Category 8 Top. All-inclusive resorts use six categories labelled A to F, with standard rooms from 12,000 to 85,000 points.
At 2.08 cents, a Category 1 night on a Lowest date costs $62.40 in bought points. Category 5 Lowest costs $312.00. Category 7 Lowest costs $520.00. Category 8 Lowest costs $728.00, and Category 8 Top costs $1,560.00. The full 110,000-point purchase covers 36 nights at the Category 1 rate, or three Category 8 Lowest nights with 5,000 points left.
The terms that bind the member
Hyatt requires 60 days of membership before a member can buy points. Points.com processes the purchase, and points post within 48 hours. The purchase is non-refundable and the transaction is non-reversible. Bought points count as base points, so they do not advance elite status.
The sale record
AwardWallet keeps a table of past Hyatt points sales. It carries 36 rows from 29 July 2020 to this edition. Four rows fall in 2026: three close at 2.08 cents on a 20 percent discount and one closes at 2.17 cents on a 20 percent bonus. This sale matches the lowest 2026 price.
The lowest rate in the table is 1.68 cents, on a 30 percent discount that ended on 30 December 2021. A 20 percent discount ran at 1.54 cents in March 2024, and the page calls that rate a short-lived pricing mistake. The most recent row below 2.00 cents is 1.95 cents on a 25 percent discount that ended on 14 April 2025. The page's prose puts recent best offers around 1.8 cents, and its own table dates those to 2020 through 2023.
Transfers between two accounts
Hyatt moved member-to-member transfers online on 15 October 2026. The terms cap transfers at 525,000 points a calendar year, sent or received. Transfers go in 500-point multiples with a 1,000-point minimum, and Points.com processes them.
A member can make six transfers a calendar year and no more than one in a calendar month. Both accounts must be open for at least 60 days. AwardWallet's page still describes the paper combining form and the once-every-30-days rule that applied before the change.
What the rate means at the desk
An operator reading this sale sees the cash cost of an award night. At 2.08 cents, the Category 1 Lowest night is $62.40 of points and the Category 8 Top night is $1,560.00. Both figures sit on the award chart the guest uses when they weigh an award stay against a paid one.
Two terms shape that conversation. Bought points do not count toward elite status. The purchase is non-refundable, so the member carries the whole amount once the transaction clears.
