Price at 25% off :
The cost of a World of Hyatt point purchased under this offer at 25% off is 1.8 cents each. The lowest price during the usual bonus or discount sales is 1.71 cents each.
Does it make sense to purchase points at this rate?
It only makes sense if you use them at costly Hyatt properties such as the Park Hyatt Maldives, Kyoto, or Paris, although sometimes the lower classed properties can be a good deal when the paid rates are high.
Otherwise, buying at such a high price makes only limited sense, especially since you should be able to get great deals at most hotels in the current travel climate.
Award rooms with Hyatt are available as long as standard rooms are available for sale. This means that points are usually a good value if something is going on in the city, bringing the paid rates throughout the roof.
Keep in mind that revenue rates at hotels are currently crashing in most instances due to lack of demand and that it might make the most sense to first check paid rates before jumping on points sales.
Point redemption rates have remained static (high) while advertised rates in some cases have come down a lot.
Conclusion
Hyatt sells points several times throughout the year, and the bonus usually maxes at 40%. If you don’t need World of Hyatt points right now, you can save and buy more during these frequent sales at a later time.
Not sure why Hyatt caps their points sales at 55,000 points? Their points aren’t exactly cheap, and there are only limited times when it makes sense to buy points to book stays with them.
