World of Hyatt Milestone Rewards: Earn Perks with Every 10 Nights

One of the ways that World of Hyatt rewards its members is through Milestone Rewards, which can be remarkably valuable.

In addition to Hyatt’s published status tiers of Discoverist, Explorist, and Globalist, the program’s Milestone Rewards also encourage incremental loyalty by offering perks in-between  status-earning levels. 

Let’s take a closer look at World of Hyatt Milestone Rewards, including what’s offered at each tier and which reward(s) you should choose.

What Are World of Hyatt Milestone Rewards?

While separate from Hyatt’s elite status program, Milestone Rewards offer Hyatt members more reasons to keep staying at hotels that fall under Hyatt’s umbrella.

Recall that members earn Hyatt Discoverist, Explorist, and Globalist status by staying 10, 30, and 60 nights in a calendar year, respectively. As you accumulate stays throughout the year, you can further reap benefits from Milestone Rewards along the way.

Beginning at 20 nights, and up to a maximum of 100 nights, you’ll earn Milestone Rewards for each 10 nights that you stay. That means that you can earn up to nine Milestone Rewards if you were to stay 100 nights in a year.

In this way, Hyatt members are incentivized to keep staying with Hyatt, even if they don’t make it all the way to the next elite status tier.

For example, if you’ve already reached the Explorist status level after staying 30 nights, but won’t quite make it all the way to Globalist at 60 nights, you’ll still earn rewards at 40 and 50 nights.

Similarly, if you’ve already reached the top-tier Globalist status but still complete stays, you’ll further receive recognition at 70, 80, 90, and 100 nights with Milestone Rewards.

How to Earn Milestone Rewards

Hyatt members can earn a qualifying night towards Milestone Rewards by staying at Hyatt properties, earning base points for paid stays at Hyatt hotels, or by spending money on either of the World of Hyatt Credit Cards by Chase.

With the World of Hyatt Credit Card by Chase, you earn two qualifying nights for every $5,000 (USD) spent on eligible purchases. Meanwhile, if you have the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card by Chase, you’ll earn five qualifying nights for every $10,000 (USD) spent on eligible purchases.

Hyatt’s Milestone Rewards are not just earned for reaching a certain number of nights…
