Hyatt Brand Explorer: Earn free nights for staying at different brands

The Hyatt Brand Explorer program offers rewards for guests who stay at different brands within the Hyatt portfolio. Members can earn free night awards by staying at five unique brands, with a maximum of seven awards available.
Why it matters
It provides practical consumer advice for travelers looking to maximize loyalty program benefits and reduce travel costs.
One of my favourite features of the World of Hyatt programme is the Brand Explorer award, which rewards members with free nights for staying at different brands across the Hyatt portfolio.
This feature tends to fly under the radar, but it’s one of the programme’s most unique and underrated perks, and a great incentive to try a new brand every time you travel.
In this post, I’ll explain how Brand Explorer works, highlight some nearby properties where you can begin your journey — and how you can save up to 20% off your stays, with the ongoing Hyatt sale.
The World of Hyatt Brand Explorer awards members a Category 1-4 free night award for every five unique Hyatt brands they stay at.
World of Hyatt currently has 36 different brands, which means you can earn a maximum of seven free night awards in total.
