TPG values World of Hyatt points at 1.7 cents each, so I effectively paid about $190 for my stay.Īs expected, there were some kinks with my stay since I was there on one of the first nights it was open. More specifically, I booked the upper-tier Executive Suite at the brand-new Hyatt Regency JFK Airport at Resorts World New York for just $89 and 6,000 points. Today, I'm going to share how I took advantage of the upgrades on paid nights feature to book a $1,000+ per night suite for less than the cost of a standard room. Depending on the category of the hotel, it can cost as little as 3,000 additional points to book a standard suite instead of a standard room or just 5,000 points for a premium suite (which sometimes includes presidential suites). What's better is that these bookings can now be made online and the rates are often very reasonable.
You can outright redeem points for standard or premium suites or redeem points for upgrades to suites. One thing that sets World of Hyatt apart is how easy it makes it to book suites with points. Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available.
