Loyalty Traveler Analysis
Unfortunately, this promotion, like so many promotions offering hotel credit, charges higher rates for the WELGP rate code compared to the Hyatt Daily Rate (BAR). That directly eliminates 30EUR value of the 50EUR credit for the Hyatt Regency Mainz, Germany on dates I checked for two night stays.
Hyatt Regency Mainz, Germany
Friday July 22 – Sunday, July 24, 2011
- 150 EUR per night for WELGP rate with 50EUR credit for 2-night stay.
- 135 EUR per night for Hyatt Daily Rate.
Actual WELGP credit is only 20EUR for this stay based on higher rate for WELGP compared to paying Hyatt Daily Rate.
- 121.50 AARP rate (persons 50 years of age and older may join AARP)
US travelers over 50 can get an AARP rate of just 121.50EUR per night making the promotion valueless unless you pay with an American Express card to get 2,500 bonus Hyatt Gold Passport points.
Hey AARP!
AARP is $16 per year for persons at least 50 years of age. Annual membership is less than $13 per year with a 5-year membership. International residents can also join AARP for $17 to 28USD per year.
Hyatt Hotels has one of the greatest senior member discounts of hotel chains in my rate checks over the years in my informal observations. This is actually a good research topic.
Hey AARP! Do you have comparative research on AARP discount rates across major hotel chains?
Loyalty Traveler 3-key promotion
There is some value to this promotion, although you should compare rate types carefully to avoid overpaying for the Welcome Credit. This is probably a good deal for someone planning to eat at the hotel and use the full hotel stay welcome credit.
American Express card payment bonus of 2,500 points per hotel stay is probably the better value credit for this offer. Loyalty Traveler values 2,500 Hyatt Gold Passport points at $25 to $60 depending on how they are redeemed. My hotel stay redemptions are closer to 2,500 points is equivalent to $60. But I have seen many Hyatt Hotels lately, particularly in the US, where redeeming Gold Passport points for free nights compared to the low hotel rates gives less than $10 per 1,000 points cash equivalent value to Hyatt points. In this case, 2,500 Hyatt Gold Passport points have less than $25 value.
Buyer beware: Compare the different Hyatt rate options before jumping on the WELGP promotion for 2,500 points and hotel stay credit. You may find a lower rate that completely negates the value of the Welcome credit and bonus points.
