If you are Platinum Pro or higher with American Airlines’ Aadvantage program, you’re up for yet another chance to secure the coveted Hyatt Globalist status with just 20 nights. In fact, you’d earn it through February of 2026 which frankly makes me jealous of you as I work towards 60 nights this year 😉
If you are Platinum or less, you can still participate, but you’ll only be eligible for Explorist status and we all know that the difference between Explorist and Globalist is like night and day.
So…. I hope you are Platinum Pro + 🙂
You’ll also need to have your World of Hyatt and Aadvantage accounts linked. If they aren’t, head here to link them.
Then you’ll head here to register for the offer.
Here are the abbreviated terms:
- Eligible AAdvantage® Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum members can register by October 31, 2024 to immediately start enjoying trial Explorist status for 90 days following registration.
- AAdvantage® Gold and Platinum members must stay 10 Tier-Qualifying Nights to keep Explorist status.
- AAdvantage® Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum members must stay 10 Tier-Qualifying Nights to keep Explorist status or stay 20 Tier-Qualifying Nights to earn Globalist status. If awarded, status will last through February 2026.
Qualifying activity is earned when a World of Hyatt member books an eligible rate or award night through Hyatt channels. Once earned, members can enjoy elite benefits like a dedicated check-in area, late checkout upon request, and room upgrades as well as club lounge access or complimentary breakfast for Globalist members.
