Hyatt Offers 'Great 10K' for Fall Stays

    Hyatt's recent promotions have been among the industry's most generous. So it was with considerable anticipation that we pored over the details of its new fall/winter offer.



    Offer Details



    With Hyatt's Great 10K promotion, Gold Passport members who stay five nights at Hyatt family hotels between September 15 and December 15 will earn 10,000 bonus points. The bonus may be earned an unlimited number of times during the promotion period.

    Registration is required, but the

    online registration form

    won't be available until September 15. Until then, members can register by calling 800-228-3360 (in the U.S.) or a local Hyatt reservations center (outside the U.S.).



    Deal or No Deal



    This is a bit of a downgrade, compared to recent Hyatt offers—which have, in fairness to Hyatt, been standouts.

    The last

    Gold Passport promotion

    , in effect between March 26 and June 30, offered a free night or 5,000 bonus points after every two qualifying stays. Assuming the qualifying stays were single nights, that's both more generous and easier to qualify for than the current promotion.

    Still, five nights isn't an impossible hurdle, and 10,000 bonus points is a worthwhile incentive.



    Reader Reality Check



    The roster of fall hotel promotions is long and getting longer. Is the new Hyatt offer on your list?
