Redeeming Heymax Max Miles for World of Hyatt Points
Heymax has changed the process for cash-for-miles redemption which World of Hyatt falls under.
The new process is as follows:
- Customer purchases the miles or points by themselves, using their own credit card
- Customer submits an online form with the number of points purchased, as well as proof of purchase
- Heymax will reimburse in cash via PayNow within five business days.
One plus point of this new process is that you get to use your own credit card to purchase, an opportunity to earn additional cashback or miles. Check out our credit card sign-up deals.
The entire process takes a few business days so act early if you plan to use the points to book a hotel stay for an upcoming trip.
