How to Get the Points for a Maui Vacation I would, without a doubt, stay here again! We’ll be back again someday! We transferred 232,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards to Hyatt to make up the difference and then booked directly with Hyatt. We stayed for 6 nights so the grand total was 288,000 Hyatt points. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit which cost us 48,000 points a night. Our hotel stay was zero dollars! Well actually, I think we had a $5 tax, but that is it! We did pay a large chunk of points, but that was earned through signup bonuses and everyday purchases that I had to make.įor our Maui vacation on points, we stayed at the Hyatt Residence Club Maui. In the flight section above I said that our flights were $55. In total, we had to use 136,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards. The cost per roundtrip flight at the time was 34,000 points (I’ve seen them for more and for less). The baby was free since he was under two and mine was free because of the companion pass. We had to purchase 4 flights, one for Mitch (my husband) and three for our older boys. The Southwest Companion Pass is my favorite! Once you earn 135,000 points in one calendar year, you earn the pass which allows someone to fly with you for free for the rest of the year in which you earned the pass and all of the next! Because my husband had earned the pass, my flight to Hawaii cost zero points and just around $11 in taxes and fees. We earned these points when my husband signed up for both the Southwest Plus card and the Southwest Business Performance card. To get started with our family trip to Maui on points, we had to book our flights! We booked our flights to Maui with Southwest Rapid Rewards. Thanks to low expectations (the key to happiness, lol), the perfect resort, and having my parents with us, we had an amazing trip! The best part about it was that we did this Maui vacation on points and paid just $55 total for our flights and hotel. I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous about taking my family of 6 with 4 boys ranging in age from 9 years-8 months. This was a first for us, we have never taken the kids (besides taking my oldest when he was 1 year old) and it went better than I could have expected. We just returned from the best family trip to Maui! Mitch and I have been to Maui twice without the kids so we thought we’d take them this time.
