How many free nights? That’s right: 365. Nights. For free.
I know, I can’t really believe it either. It’s a contest, so you’ll have to put in a little work—though the payoff could be spectacular.
Hyatt’s redesigned Gold Passport loyalty program, The Big Welcome, aims to revitalize the hotel stay experience without cutting back on costs and services. Aside from offering extra perks for loyalty members like free night credits and suite upgrades, Hyatt is also promoting The Big Welcome contest. Three people per region (North America, Europe and Asia) will win the golden prize of 365 free nights.
How to Win: Submit an essay answering the question, “How would you spend 365 free nights at Hyatt to create an unforgettable experience?” Points will be awarded in four categories: 40 points for originality; 40 points for creativity; 10 points for Hyatt brand incorporatio; and 10 points for organization, clarity and grammar. Entrants may also submit video, audio, photos or a drawing to earn up to five bonus points.
Winners can use the free nights at any Hyatt hotel around the world (through June 30, 2014). Hyatt will also throw in one million frequent flyer miles. Entries must be submitted by May 13, 2009, and winners will be announced by June 12, 2009. You must sign up (free) for the Gold Passport loyalty program in order to participate. Find out the full details at TheBigWelcome.com.
