Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A statement billing entry reading HYATT* POINTS PURCHASE indicates a transaction processed by Points.com on behalf of Hyatt Hotels Corporation for the sale of World of Hyatt loyalty reward points. When hotel members purchase points to redeem for complimentary award nights, room upgrades, or transfer balances to fellow loyalty program participants, credit card charges post under this specific merchant descriptor.
Unreviewed registry note: Most transactions of this nature occur intentionally when travelers take advantage of promotional point purchase bonuses, annual buying limits, or secure missing point balances needed for upcoming hotel award reservations. Because these loyalty point sales are processed through a specialized third party rewards clearing partner, the statement descriptor often lists Points.com alongside the hotel brand identifier.
Unreviewed registry note: To verify this reward point transaction, check your email inbox for a purchase confirmation receipt from the partner platform or review your member activity ledger on the official hotel website. If you notice unauthorized activity on your loyalty account, contact hotel customer service immediately to secure your membership credentials and report the issue.
