Welcome to the weekend, friend! Consider this newsletter your boarding pass to big savings.

Here’s what the travel world brought us this past week. 👇

🏆 Our Favorite Pick: Earn thousands of Hyatt points this fall

We love an easy win — and that’s exactly what World of Hyatt is giving us with not one, but two new promos.

Double points abroad

Here’s what you need to know:

You must register for the offer before November 1 (and before your first stay)
You need to book directly with Hyatt
Travel can take place from September 15 to December 1, 2025
It applies to eligible Hyatt hotels (including Mr & Mrs Smith properties) across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East
You’ll earn double points (10x instead of 5x) with a cap of 20,000 bonus points total

I’m already planning on fully taking advantage of this for a Hyatt stay I have planned in Krakow, Poland next month:

I know you all love Europe, and the fall shoulder season is an excellent time to travel, so this promo is definitely one to take advantage of.

It’s just a bummer that this doesn’t apply to domestic Hyatt stays, unless…

Bonus bounty in the U.S.

Well, would you look at that. 😏

Not flying across the pond? Hyatt also just rolled out a stateside special for Hyatt Regency hotels in the U.S.

Here are the deets:

You must register, book (via the World of Hyatt app!), and complete your stay between now and November 23, 2025
Eligible stays at a Hyatt Regency will earn bonus points as follows:
- Stay 3 nights, earn 3,000 bonus points
- Stay 7 nights, earn an additional 7,000 bonus points
- Stay 10 nights, earn an additional 10,000 bonus points
Bonus points earned are also capped at 20,000

‼️ To be extra clear: Any bookings made outside of the World of Hyatt mobile app will not be eligible for this promotion.

Considering I also need a place to stay for a few nights in Denver later this month, I’m now thinking I’ll book this Hyatt Regency because… it’s an easy win with easy bonus points. 💁🏻‍♀️

Why you should care

Think of these promos as your “passport” to more free nights. If you maxed out either one of these offers and walked away with 20,000 points, that’s five free nights at a Hyatt Category 1 property — since award rates can start as low as 3,500 points.

Stack a few stays, and your next vacation could practically check itself in. 🤗

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re paying any portion with cash, make sure you use a card that will accelerate your earnings. I love this popular card for its 2x points earned on travel or Hyatt’s own co-branded card which will earn up to 9x points on Hyatt stays.
