Hyatt Hotels Corporation and American Airlines are expected to launch an enhanced loyalty collaboration later this year.
The expanded relationship will give elite members from both AAdvantage and World of Hyatt loyalty programmes more opportunities to earn points and miles on qualifying American flights and Hyatt hotel stays.
American Airlines
As well as World of Hyatt points earned through hotel stays, AAdvantage Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro, Executive Platinum, and ConciergeKey members will be able to earn one AAdvantage bonus mile for every eligible dollar spent at qualifying Hyatt properties.
ConciergeKey members will also receive World of Hyatt Globalist status.
Hyatt
World of Hyatt Discoverist, Explorist and Globalist members will be able to earn one World of Hyatt bonus point for every eligible dollar spent on qualify American flights, in addition to AAdvantage miles earned by flying on the airline.
Collaboration
AAdvantage Platinum, Platinum Pro, and Executive Platinum members, and Explorist and Globalist World of Hyatt members will also be able to take part in limited time status challenges. Upon registration, these members will immediately be able to access loyalty benefits in the reciprocal programme, while working to maintain their elite tier status.
AAdvantage elite members will have access to World of Hyatt status benefits, including a dedicated check-in area, late check-out upon request, room upgrades and free premium Internet.
World of Hyatt elite members will gain access to AAdvantage elite status benefits, which include priority boarding, free checked bags, free preferred seats, and more.
