How to Earn World of Hyatt Lifetime Globalist Status

The World of Hyatt program allows loyal members to earn elite status and enjoy benefits and preferential treatment when staying at Hyatt hotels.

The highest status tier, Globalist, is where members receive the most perks, including suite upgrades, free breakfast, and more.

If you remain faithful to Hyatt, there’s also a pathway for the most loyal members to earn Lifetime Globalist status, affording you access to all the perks without needing to re-qualify every year.

What Is World of Hyatt Lifetime Globalist Status?

Globalist elite status is the only World of Hyatt status tier that has a lifetime equivalent.

Unlike all other World of Hyatt elite statuses, Lifetime Globalist status can only be earned through the accumulation of “Base Points”. In other words, it doesn’t matter how many nights you stay at Hyatt hotels, or even how many years you’ve been a World of Hyatt elite member.

In fact, the only way to earn World of Hyatt Lifetime Globalist status is to earn 1,000,000 Base Points throughout your membership period.

It’s important to note that World of Hyatt bonus points and points earned through credit card spending don’t count towards the required Base Points.

Instead, you’ll need to earn 5 Base Points for every US dollar spent at Hyatt hotels on eligible room rates and eligible incidental charges. This means, you’ll have to spend $200,000 (USD) at Hyatt hotels and resorts to reach Lifetime Globalist status.

As a World of Hyatt Lifetime Globalist member, you’ll receive all of the same benefits offered to regular World of Hyatt Globalist members, including the following:

• Free breakfast for up to two adults and two children
• Access to club lounges, where available
• Room upgrades, including standard suites (subject to availability)
• Guaranteed late check-out of 4pm
• Free parking on award stays at participating Hyatt hotels
• Access to a Hyatt Concierge agent

What’s more, Lifetime Globalist members will receive an annual gift of one Category 1–7 Free Night Award and four Suite Upgrade Awards.

Once a World of Hyatt member earns Lifetime Globalist status, they’ll enjoy all of the above benefits for the remainder of the member’s natural life, until the World of Hyatt program is terminated, or the member’s World of Hyatt membership is terminated, whichever occurs first.
