Leading Hotels of the World is offering up to a 100% bonus on Leaders Club point purchases through June 12, 2026. Members receive a 50% bonus when purchasing 2,000-11,000 points, a 75% bonus on 12,000-29,000 points, and a 100% bonus on purchases between 30,000-70,000 points. Leaders Club normally sells points for 12¢ each, which sounds expensive compared to most hotel programs, but these are luxury properties that differ significantly from a typical Hilton or Hyatt stay. We value Leaders Club points at roughly 8¢ each, meaning the 100% bonus lets you buy points for 6¢ apiece, while the 75% bonus drops the price to about 6.86¢ each. Either tier can provide strong value with the right redemption. We generally wouldn’t recommend speculatively buying hotel points, but Leaders Club can offer outsized value at expensive luxury properties.

Earn 3x Flying Blue Miles on Rent Through Bilt
Bilt has announced a new partnership allowing Air France/KLM World Elite Mastercard cardholders to earn 3x Flying Blue miles on rent payments. After linking your card to your Bilt Rewards account, you can earn 3x on up to $50,000 in rent payments annually. Since Bilt charges a 3% fee when paying rent with the card, you’re effectively buying Flying Blue miles for 1¢ each. We value Flying Blue miles at roughly 1.3¢ apiece, so this could be a solid option for those who consistently get strong value from Flying Blue redemptions.

20% Bonus on World of Hyatt Points Purchases
World of Hyatt is offering a 20% bonus when purchasing at least 7,000 points through July 27, 2026, allowing members to buy points for 2.17¢ each. We value Hyatt points at roughly 1.7¢ apiece, so this is not an especially compelling sale despite Hyatt’s strong redemption opportunities. While some high-end stays can still provide outsized value above 2.17¢ per point, we generally would not recommend buying speculatively at this price. With Hyatt’s new award chart and category changes taking effect tomorrow, it may make sense to wait until pricing settles before considering this promotion.

Hyatt Category Changes, New Award Chart Begins May 20
Today is the last day to book Hyatt properties before the new award chart and category changes go into effect. We wouldn't wait until the very last minute, as many of the most popular properties already have limited award availability over the next 12-13 months.
World of Hyatt has announced its annual category changes, with 112 properties increasing and just 24 decreasing. This includes 14 hotels moving from Category 4 to 5 and 5 moving from 7 to 8, impacting free night certificates. Hyatt also confirmed that May 20, 2026 will be the effective date for both these category updates and its previously announced new award pricing structure. That new structure introduces five pricing levels within each category, bringing pricing closer to dynamic. Any bookings made before May 20 will still honor current rates, so now may be the time to lock in any planned or aspirational stays.
