One thing you will quickly notice is that there is no fixed discount amount for each code. They vary wildly between Hyatt brands and destinations. What we’ve done is do our best to calculate averages to give you a sense of how good one code is compared to another to give you a starting point.
There’s wild variability between brands, cities, and countries.
To try to do as deep of an analysis as possible, I selected 5 cities this time: Toronto, New York City, Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.
Within each city, I worked with either 3 or 4 hotels spread across different Hyatt brands.
For a specific date across the board, I compared non-discounted rack rates with the corporate code to calculate the discount percentage.
The codes
Hyatt corporate codes are don’t seem to have a fixed number of digits. Some are 4, others are 5, and some even have leading letters.
The below is a list of codes sorted by the ones that provide the best total average of discounts. You’ll also see the average discounts for each city which demonstrates how differently they work.
We’ve also removed all codes that no longer work or at least provide any discount for the cities and hotels selected.
