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.

In my experience with the Caribbean, Saint Lucia is one of the most captivating destinations, both aesthetically and culturally.  It’s also one of the most prohibitively expensive islands for miles & points enthusiasts, as there are next to no hotel chains in the country you can book with points.

I wrote a quick trip report of my visit to Saint Lucia last year.  And some commenters pointed out that while it’s easy to reach the island for free by using miles & points you earn from cards like the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Mastercard® or the Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card, you won’t find many hotel chains once you land.

The information for the CitiBusiness AAdvantage Platinum card and Ink Business Preferred card has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

But that’s about to change thanks to Hyatt!

You’ll Be Able to Use Hyatt Points for Catching This Stunning Sunset (STUNset?) in Soufriere, Saint Lucia

Invest Saint Lucia has purchased land at Choc Beach in the island’s northern region.  And they’re building a 400-room Hyatt hotel!

The hotel will offer both regular and all-inclusive rates.  And if it’s anything like Hyatt’s current all-inclusive resorts, such as the Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara in Cancun, it will be very affordable with points!  You can reserve a free night at those hotels for just 25,000 Hyatt points per night.

You can earn Hyatt points directly by opening The World Of Hyatt Credit Card.  Or you can earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points with cards like the Ink Business Preferred (our #1 small business card pick) or the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, (our #1 card for beginners) and transfer them to Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio!

Construction on this Hyatt hotel is scheduled to begin late 2019.

Note:   If you have cards like the Barclaycard Arrival Plus® World Elite Mastercard®, you can use your miles to pay for just about ANY travel purchase.  Including hotels that don’t have a loyalty program, like the ones you find in Saint Lucia.
