Tiers & Benefits

Make the most out of each stay and receive in-hotel benefits when you pay an eligible rate or redeem an award night. Achieve status for qualifying activity each calendar year.

Earning Elite Status in 2021

To provide even more flexibility, we are lowering the requirements by 50% for earning all elite tiers in 2021. This means that members will be able to qualify or requalify for elite status with half the Tier-Qualifying Nights or Base Points. With the 50% reduction in requirements:

 
Discoverist status will require 5 Tier-Qualifying Nights or 12,500 Base Points
 
Explorist status will require 15 Tier-Qualifying Nights or 25,000 Base Points
 
Globalist status will require 30 Tier-Qualifying Nights or 50,000 Base Points

In-Hotel Benefits

Certain World of Hyatt benefits are only experienced once the member has arrived at a participating property (e.g., complimentary internet). These “in-hotel benefits” are provided for the member on a night when he/she (a) has paid an eligible rate or (b) has redeemed certain stay-based awards (e.g., a free night award). In-hotel benefits vary by membership tier and by participating hotel, resort, or other property.

For complete details, please see the World of Hyatt program terms.
Eligible Rates

An “eligible rate” is any room rate for a participating hotel, resort, or other property that is published by Hyatt (including rates found on hyatt.com without the application of a discount code, and Hyatt’s “Standard Rate,” “Volume Account Rates,” “Senior Citizen Rate,” and the monetary portion of any Points + Cash award), or, for Miraval properties, published by Miraval, respectively.

Eligible rates exclude free night awards, complimentary nights awarded in connection with Miraval’s Authentic Circle Program, rooms booked on third-party online retailers, traditional wholesale rates (e.g., GOGO Worldwide Vacations, Pleasant Holidays, Tourico, and Hotelbeds), airline crew rates, airline employee rates, travel agency employee rates, media rates, Club at the Hyatt discount stays, Hyatt employee or employee family or friends-and-family discount rates, airline interrupted-trip vouchers, or contracted rooms.
