Hyatt has quietly launched Double Points promo rates at some properties for the summer.

A random example – Hyatt Place Birmingham USA gives three rates.

$119 – Standard Rate
$129 – Movie Rate (movie, popcorn & 2 sodas included)
$131 – Double Points rate

The Double Points rate is applied to all spend during your stay. For this stay (assuming no additional spend):

$131 * 5 points = 655 points

So for $12 you can earn an extra 655 points at least. Pretty good value in my view.

For a Diamond the stay can be quite lucrative:

655 * 1.3 (incl 30% bonus) + 500 amenity bonus + 655 for double points = 2006 points.

Full rate details:
