How are World of Hyatt Points Calculated?
Here is the background on how the number of points you earn per stay is calculated.
Base Rate & Eligible Charges:
The first thing you need to know is that you don’t earn points on the total amount of your folio (invoice). Things like fees, taxes and possibly other charges you bill to your room, like a round of golf or an excursion, do not earn points (That is, unless you use a Hyatt Credit Card… more on that later).
You’ll earn 5 points per dollar spent on the Base Room Rate at any Hyatt property.
You may also earn Base Points for payment of Eligible Incidental Charges and Eligible Non-Stay Charges. These vary by property and generally include resort/destination fees, additional-cleaning fees (where applicable), spa, food, beverage and lounge expenditures (except at outlets not operated by the hotel or resort) and other charges, such as laundry, dry cleaning, and telephone.
Bonus Points from Elite Status
If you have elite status with the World of Hyatt program you will earn extra bonus points.
- Discoverist: 10% bonus points on eligible purchases.
- Explorist: 20% bonus points on eligible purchases.
- Globalist: 30% bonus points on eligible purchases.

Paying with a Hyatt Co-Branded Credit Card
Here is where the total cost of your stay comes into play. If you use a World of Hyatt Co-Branded credit card to pay your bill, you earn Bonus Hyatt points for the entire cost of your bill, not just the base room rate.
So while you don’t earn base points for things like taxes, fees and anything else you charge to your room, you will earn points for those items when you pay with a Hyatt credit card.
If I am staying at a Hyatt and plan to pay with my credit card, I always make sure to charge everything I can to my room, so I can get the extra bonus points for those charges.
