Hyatt’s World of Hyatt rewards program is the best option out there, according to WalletHub, which reviewed nine popular programs using 21 metrics such as blackout dates, the number of transfer partners and short-notice reservations.
The World of Hyatt program scored 72 out of 100, making it the No. 1 pick for all types of travelers. WalletHub also highlighted its redemption policies and rewards values.
With a score of 65 out of 100, second place went to Wyndham Rewards, which was also noted for being the largest hotel network, with more than 9,000 properties. WalletHub analyst Cassandra Happe said that the program “excels in earning policies and offers broad geographic coverage, providing substantial rewards value across different spending profiles.”
Coming in at No. 3 was Sonestra Travel Pass, which has 1,100 properties across the globe. The program offers up to $14.72 in rewards value per $100 spent, which WalletHub said is the most among major hotel loyalty programs.
