World of Hyatt has unveiled the latest step in integrating Mr & Mrs Smith Hotels into its portfolio. Starting today, World of Hyatt credit cardholders will earn a total of 9 points per dollar spent on Mr & Mrs Smith hotels booked through Hyatt.
This bonus is available to members with both a personal World of Hyatt Credit Card and The World of Hyatt Business Credit Card.
Earn 9X points at Mr & Mrs Smith hotels
If you’re planning on staying at Mr & Mrs Smith hotels, this bonus can help you earn substantial rewards. Here’s how the 9x points at Mr & Mrs Smith hotels breaks down:
- World of Hyatt members earn 5 Base Points per $1 spent on room rates at participating Mr & Mrs Smith hotels booked through Hyatt channels.
- Cardmembers will now earn an additional 4 Bonus Points per $1 USD spent on room rates when paid with their World of Hyatt Credit Card.
To earn 9X points at Mr & Mrs Smith hotels, simply book your stay via the Hyatt website and pay for it with your Hyatt credit card. The bonus is available to both personal and business Hyatt cardholders.
This is the same bonus Hyatt credit cardholders earn on other Hyatt stays. So why is this relevant? Since Mr & Mrs Smith joined World of Hyatt in April 2024, its participation in the program has been limited. Because of the dynamic pricing structure, using points at Mr & Mrs Smith properties isn’t always a good value proposition.
However, being able to earn points is the main benefit because it allows Hyatt members access to a vast portfolio of unique properties where they otherwise wouldn’t earn points. Which brings me to my next point:
