Hyatt Bingo= 1 Free Night Stay!
Have you heard of Hyatt Bingo!? It’s the term used in the points travel world for Hyatt’s Brand Explorer promotion.
What is Hyatt Bingo/Brand Explorer?
World of Hyatt has many brands that fall under the Hyatt umbrella. There are 4 collections that encompass the Hyatt Brand: Timeless Collection, Boundless Collection, Independent Collection, and Inclusive Collection. Hyatt would like you to explore their different collections and brands so they have a promotion if you are a “Brand Explorer.”
You will need to stay at 5 different Hyatt brands. There is no time-table on this, so you could do all 5 stays within a year, or you could do all 5 stays within 5 years, it doesn’t matter!
Remember, these are 5 different Hyatt brands, not 5 different Hyatt hotels. Our family has stayed at several Hyatt Places, but this is only considered 1 brand.
Once you stay at 5 different Hyatt hotel brands, you have completed the Brand Explorer Challenge. After completing this challenge, you will be given 1 FREE night stay! This stay is for a Category 1-4 hotel. There are a lot of really nice Hyatt Category 4 hotels, such as: Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort (near Disney World), Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, and when I booked our stay, Thompson Chicago was a category 4, but unfortunately it is now a category 5.
Thoughts
Should you stay at 5 different hotel brands just to get 1 free night certificate…probably not. But, if you have 4 different hotel brand stays with Hyatt and just need 1 more to get a free night….Why Not?! It can definitely save you quite a bit of money and/or points.
KC Tip
The Elms Hotel and Spa falls under the “Destination” brand. Hotel Kansas City falls under the “Unbound” brand. These are both hotel brands that are not as common and would make for a fun/easy stay around the KC area. If you have a trip planned outside of KC and one or two of these places would earn you a free night at a hotel you would plan to use on a vacation, you might as well take advantage!
