• An eligible stay is defined as any stay at a participating hotel where a member is paying an Eligible Rate or redeems a free night award for at least one night of their stay
• A member will only earn Bonus Points for the room he/she occupies during the Promotion Period – if you book two rooms you’ll only get credit for one
• Bonus points do not count towards elite status
• Maximum 100,000 Bonus Points may be earned for the Hyatt and World of Hyatt Credit Card bonus during the promotion period.
