World of Hyatt and American Airlines AAdvantage Launch Reciprocal Status Offers

World of Hyatt and American Airlines AAdvantage have launched reciprocal status offers for elite members, with fast-track opportunities available.

With the offers, World of Hyatt members may receive an AAdvantage status fast track offer, and elite AAdvantage members can fast track to elite status within the World of Hyatt program.

World of Hyatt Status Offer for American Airlines AAdvantage Elite Members

Until November 30, 2023, American Airlines AAdvantage Gold elite members and above can link their AAdvantage and World of Hyatt accounts and enjoy World of Hyatt Explorist status for 90 days.

After linking the accounts, you can then register for the promotion on the World of Hyatt website. If you don’t have a qualifying status with American Airlines, you won’t be able to register.

During the 90-day period, eligible members can retain Explorist status, and possibly upgrade to the top-tier Globalist status, by completing a status challenge activity.

To retain Explorist status, you’ll have to earn 10 Tier-Qualifying Nights within a 90-day stretch, which begins immediately after registering for the offer. Therefore, you’ll want to time your registration strategically, to give yourself the largest window of time to complete the challenge.

However, AAdvantage Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum elite members can also fast track to top-tier World of Hyatt Globalist status by earning 20 Tier-Qualifying Nights within the same 90-day period after registration.

If you complete the 10- or 20-nights within the 90-day trial period, you’ll retain Explorist or Globalist status, as applicable, through to the end of February 2025.

Fortunately, stays booked with World of Hyatt points and Free Night Awards count towards the Tier-Qualifying Nights total, as do standard cash rates and stays booked through Hyatt Privé.
