Earn Hyatt points on award stays?

[aus_flyer]

I've been a Diamond/Globalist for many years so I'm embarrassed not to know the answer to this question!...

If I'm staying at a Hyatt using points (or a free night certificate), obviously I don't earn points for the stay itself... but what about for other spend? Restaurants, bar, etc?

You should earn points - as always make sure you get an itemised receipt on departure emailed - its almost instantaneous.

Most Hyatts won't award points on alcohol expenditure but everything else that can be charged to your room and is spent at a hotel-owned outlet (e.g. not an outsourced spa or parking facility) should be fine.

I must say I do not purchase much alcohol at Hotels but have to say I cannot recall not earning points when doing so at Hyatt.

I wish I had your experience.

From experience, most Australian Hyatt’s award points on alcoholic beverages, other countries highly variable ..

I've always been credited points for Alcohol, but as mentioned, it can be variable.

I have actually earned Hyatt points for dining and drinking, while not a guest, both in Australia and Japan. Hyatt are the best at this of any major hotel chain in my experience. I had the dining points from the Park Hyatt Tokyo within an hour of lunch.

So if you're charging to your room and settle on checkout, I would definitely expect points.

On my two most recent stays at the Regency in Sydney, I received zero points for spend on alcohol.
