Hyatt wedding bonus: 6 points per dollar at $10k, 3.75 at $40k

Hyatt's wedding offer pays up to 150,000 World of Hyatt points on $40,000 of wedding spend, but the yield per dollar is actually best at the lower tiers: $5,000 earns 30,000 points (6 per dollar) and $10,000 earns 60,000 (6 per dollar), while the $40,000 max drops to 3.75 per dollar. You also earn 2 Tier Qualifying Night credits for every $5,000 in eligible revenue. Request offer code HMOON in your contract by December 31, 2027, and hold the ceremony at a participating Hyatt property to lock in the bonus.

the play

Request code HMOON by December 31, 2027, and target the $10,000 spend tier for 60,000 points at 6 per dollar if a $40,000 wedding isn't in the cards.

Bilt-Virgin Atlantic: Sept 1 window tiers 25-75% bonus.

Bilt Rewards members get a one-day transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club on September 1, 2026, with rates from 25% to 75% extra miles depending on Bilt status: Platinum nets 75%, Gold 45%, Silver 35%, and Blue 25%. Virgin Atlantic miles sit in SkyTeam, but partner award availability is inconsistent. If you have a specific redemption in mind and points ready, this 24-hour window is your only shot.

Transfer Bilt Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club on September 1, 2026, but only if you have a confirmed award booking — partner availability is spotty.
