Most people think of Costco as simply a big box store offering discounts on massive amounts of consumer goods, but the chain also offers its members lots of other deals and discounts that can end up saving money on everything from gas to travel.Case in point, the chain has launched a promotion in partnership with Hyatt where Costco members can save 25% on hotel reservations at 17 participating properties in Arizona, California and Colorado. Reservations must be made by September 20 for stays through December 30, 2013, using the promo code COSSW.There are seventeen participating Hyatt Hotels including:Park Hyatt Aviara ResortPark Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and SpaManchester Grand Hyatt San DiegoGrand Hyatt DenverAndaz West HollywoodAndaz San DiegoHyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and MarinaHyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and SpaHyatt Regency PhoenixHyatt Regency La Jolla at AventineHyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & SpaHyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey RanchHyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention CenterHyatt Regency Long BeachHyatt Regency IrvineHyatt Westlake PlazaHyatt The Pike Long BeachThough availability for the special rate is not open every day at every property, you can search for your dates and destinations at this landing page. While 25% isn’t a huge amount, over a few days, the amounts can really add up.At the Grand Hyatt Denver, for example, rooms in October are going for $194 a night with this promo. That’s $42 less than the regular Costco discounted rate or $233 per night, and $67 per night less than the Daily Rate for non-Costco travelers.So on a 3-night stay, you’re already looking at savings of $201 - more than enough to cover a whole additional night at the hotel with the special rate.Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.
