We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Hyatt hotels are a favorite of many of us on the MMS team and lots of readers, too. And it’s no wonder, Hyatt is one of the best loyalty programs for booking luxury hotel stays with points. Plus, Hyatt points are easy to earn with some of the top travel credit cards or hotel credit cards.

    But before you start earning Hyatt points, the first step is to sign up for a Hyatt loyalty account. Luckily, it’s free and easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a Hyatt account. If you want to stay on top of miles & points tips, subscribe to our newsletter.

    How to create a Hyatt account

    Step 1. Go to the Hyatt homepage

    On Hyatt’s website, click “Sign In” at the upper right-hand corner of the homepage.

    A dropdown will appear and you’ll have the option to either sign in or create a new account. Click the “Join” button to register for a new loyalty account.

    Step 2. Complete the registration form

    From there you’ll need to complete Hyatt’s registration form. It’s really straightforward – you’ll just be asked to provide basic information like your name, address, and email and you’ll be required to set up a password.

    Make sure you enter your information correctly because you won’t have a chance to review it prior to confirming your account.

    After completing the form click the “Join Now” button to finish your registration.

    Step 3. Confirmation

    Lastly, you’ll get confirmation of your account along with your member number. You’ll also get an email with your registration information. That’s it, you’re ready to start earning and burning those rewards.

    Want to earn more Hyatt points?

    What makes Hyatt points so valuable is Hyatt’s award chart, with prices from 5,000-40,000 points per night. That means even the top-tier locations that cost $800 or more a night only cost at most, 40,000 points. That’s half of what other chains like Marriott or Hilton might charge. However, starting in March 2020 Hyatt is introducing peak and off-peak pricing. This will expand the price range to 3,500-45,000, which could be good or bad for you, but overall it is a relatively minor change.

    A great way to collect Hyatt points is by opening the World of Hyatt Credit Card, which has a bonus of up to 60,000 Hyatt points after meeting tiered minimum spending requirements:

    If you unlock the full bonus, you’ll have enough Hyatt points for two nights at a category 6 Hyatt resort like the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa. Be sure to read our full review of the World of Hyatt credit card here.
