Anytime the TPG newsroom gets to talking about which hotel loyalty program is best, hard-core defenders of World of Hyatt usually appear. Sure, it’s smaller than some rival programs, but that also means less competition for a suite upgrade, my friends! And that’s not even the best part.
While many of my colleagues with higher-tier Marriott and Hilton status note that room and suite upgrades can be few and far between, those of us with Hyatt Globalist status are regularly treated to upgrades (I nabbed a one-bedroom corner suite with my status last week at the Grand Hyatt Nashville even though I had only paid for an entry-level room).
Plus, you’ll earn a generous number of free night certificates on your way up the loyalty ranks and — lest we forget — it’s the last major loyalty program with a largely intact award chart for points redemptions, which I’d argue is the strongest selling point of the program. (Though waived resort fees on award stays and the fantastic Hyatt Globalist breakfast benefits are close seconds.)
Ready to start your own path to top-tier Hyatt status? With a World of Hyatt cobranded credit card you get complimentary Discoverist status as well as qualifying night credits toward your next status tier.
And from now until Sept. 26, the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card is offering new cardholders up to 75,000 World of Hyatt points: 60,000 points after you spend $5,000 within the first three months from account opening, plus 15,000 points after you spend $12,000 within the first six months from account opening. This bonus is worth up to $1,275 based on TPG’s August 2024 valuations, matching the best offer we’ve ever seen on this card!
That’s all from me for today. I’ll catch y’all tomorrow!
