Hyatt Announces Up To 10% DiscountÂ
Today, Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announces the launch of an exclusive discount for Hyatt Gold Passport members, rewarding loyal guests with an up-to-10-percent discount for bookings made through Hyatt.com or the Hyatt mobile app.
The Hyatt Gold Passport member discount, available beginning today at Hyatt hotels in the U.S., Canada and Australia, strengthens the value for travelers who book directly with Hyatt and builds guest engagement. Additional direct-booking benefits include Hyatt Gold Passport points, Online Check-In and Express Checkout, mobile reservation management, and around-the-clock customer care, including through social channels.
Via Hyatt’s press release, the Hyatt Gold Passport member discount joins a suite of benefits enjoyed by travelers who book direct, including:
- Best value: Hyatt.com has long offered the lowest prices. With Hyatt’s Best Rate Guarantee, if a guest finds a qualifying lower rate published on another site within 24 hours of booking, Hyatt will match it and discount it by 20 percent for the entire stay. See Hyatt.com for more details.
- Loyalty program benefits:Â Hyatt Gold Passport members who make direct bookings can earn loyalty points and credit toward elite tier status, which provides members additional benefits such as free premium Wi-Fi and complimentary suite upgrades.
- On-the-go access and support:Â Hyatt.com and the mobile app make it easy to manage reservations on-the-go, including reservation changes without surprise fees and around-the-clock support by phone or the social channels travelers prefer.
- Personalized experiences:Â Not only can travelers select the right room type and amenities that fit their needs when they book direct, but Hyatt can also better get to know guests and tailor experiences accordingly.
Bottom Line
Obviously, one of the biggest benefits of booking direct with hotels is that you earn loyalty points, as well as credit towards elite status. So, in my mind booking direct is always my first choice. I think that hotel chains are making a big push towards getting people to book direct and avoid going through 3rd party sites. I will gladly accept the up to 10% off as I almost always book direct with Hyatt already.

What about existing reservations – Do you think I can contact them and request a 10% credit? Or even a price match getting 20% back ? I know, so greedy. I love Hyatt.
10% applies to paying in cash only? or does the 10% also apply for using Hyatt points, too?
