Hyatt $25 free dinner compelled me to join AARP

I am going to be 52 in six weeks. I could have joined AARP when I turned 50. Since I still see well enough to drive, I hadn’t made the leap to AARP yet. My hotel discount with AAA motor club generally matches the AARP discount of 10% at most hotels.

Now Hyatt Hotels compelled me to join AARP ($16/year) for this holiday travel season with an offer of 10% off the Hyatt Daily Room Rate plus $25 stay credit per night. That offer calls out to me as a free dinner at the Hyatt hotel restaurant.

Hyatt’s AARP special offer is for stays from November 14, 2011 through February 29, 2012 at Hyatt Hotels & Resorts in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. This offer is not valid for stays at Hyatt Summerfield Suites.

$25 daily credit may be used for dining, spa, golf and other hotel operated activities and services charged to your hotel room. The daily credit may not be applied to room rate, taxes, resort fees or alcohol.

Update: 11/21 See comments for this post where readers reveal almost identical promotion offer exclusive for Costco members and link to potentially free AARP membership for one year.

Participating Hotels for Hyatt AARP promotion

I love the Hyatt offer, but I need to give a loud shout-out that I do not like the way the list of participating properties is shown for this offer. Come on hotel loyalty program promotion designers.

Considering the average American’s geography is a bit weak, is it too much to ask to list hotels by state and country? Just about every hotel program plops down a list of hotels by any random order their database makes easy to print when it comes to showing participating or non-participating hotels in promotion offers.

This is not too consumer-friendly when we need an atlas or a lot of computer searches to figure out where a hotel is located and we need to pore over hundreds of hotels searching for ones in the vicinity of our destination.

    A great reason to join is better rates on home and auto insurance. We cut our auto by 1/3 and home by 1/2. So nice to tell Allstate to take their rate increases and…

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  • danray November 21, 2011

    What happens if you stay at a Hyatt Place? Can you carry the $25 credit over to a future stay where the Hyatt hotel has a bar, restaurant, etc?

  • Ric Garrido November 21, 2011

    @danray – Hyatt Place has food for sale. $25 worth of food at Hyatt Place will go pretty far in sandwiches and salad.

  • jackie November 21, 2011

    There is a special to join AARP for free —

    https://www.aarpmembership.org/o/?o=free

    Enjoy!

  • Ric Garrido November 21, 2011

    @jackie – Now that is the kind of tip I like to see provided to readers of Loyalty Traveler. Thanks.

  • alexander O November 21, 2011

    or you can get exact same offer through costco page:
    https://costcotravel.com/?rc=6&ancillary=hyattHotelsAndResorts#0

    and save $16
    🙂

  • Ric Garrido November 21, 2011

    @Alexander O. – now I am going to have to see what other savings I can find with AARP to justify the membership fee.

    I already was a Costco member.

    Guess I’ll post this offer again for all the kids who shop Costco.

  • danray November 21, 2011

    I don’t see any rate difference at Hyatt Place Portland, OR.

  • wwkennedy January 10, 2012

    Agreed! As a New Yorker, I was not amused to find the listing frenetic. I may know where the Grand Hyatt is in relation to another choice—Lex and 48–but the average tourist may not, or how many of the listings reference NY. Does the listing Long Island reference LI, NY or elsewhere??? If so, where on Long Island??

    The listings should have been minimally organized by states; I do not even know how many refer to NY
    without spending more time.

    Yes, AARP scores a “0” for being customer friendly on this issue.
