Not too long ago, I rejected most of the hype than other passengers about Hyatta world program. Surely the program was not as valuable as they said.
But I made money Hyatt globalist status 2021, primarily because my promotions and reduced demands that year allowed me to do so by staying with Hyatt for only 10 nights. And honestly, I didn't look back. Now my voice has joined the choir of other passengers singing the praise of the Hyatta world.
The program is not perfect and has made some negative moves in the last few years like Training of guest reservations,, Restricting the donation of rewards And using Dynamic Prizes Prizes for Mr and Mrs. Smith Properties. But whether you have top globalistic status or you are just a member, there are many values to be found through the World of Hyatt. Here's why I peeked at this hotel loyalty program.
Status of Hyatt eliteI found value in World of Hyatt AwardsEspecially since many other loyalty programs have implemented dynamic prizes. The World of Hyatt still shines with its extraordinary, standard and top prizes, and in my opinion, these reward tickets are the main reason why passengers should take care of the World of Hyatt program, no matter how often they remain with the program.
I am actively looking for Hyatt category 1 propertieswhere standard room types cost between 3,500 and 6,500 Hyatt points per night. I stayed ten nights at category 1 properties near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport before and after visiting my family and loved my stay earlier this year at the hotel story in the 1 Storyfabriken category. Later this year, I will stay in Grand Hyatt Amman and Hyatt Regency Cape Town, which are surprising properties of Category 1.
But the value of the Hyatt prize is not only for the properties of category 1. For example, I am thinking of staying on the Hyatt Centric Malti category 2 during the music festival on the island later this year. As a reminder, standard types of rooms in Hyatt category 2 cost 6,500 to 9,500 points per night.
My stay in the category 7 Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa and Alila Kothaifar Maldives Last year, it also provided excellent value. I stayed on mostly dates outside the top, which cost 25,000 points per night for the standard type of room. But even on top dates, you will only need to buy 35,000 Hyatt points per night for the standard type of room on these properties.
It is also useful to buy points at reasonable prices based on the reward if you want to book a club room, standard suite, premium suite or comprehensive property.

Hyatt Milestone Rewards programstarting with only 40 qualifying nights or 65,000 base points in the calendar year. Each apartment upgrade award allows you to confirm the standard apartment in booking up to seven nights. Best of all, you can use these awards when booking acceptable paid or awarding.
For example, at the beginning of this year, I bought 17,500 points and a prize for an apartment upgrade to provide a standard five -legged apartment at the Storyfabriken Hotel with a story 1. Standard rooms at this hotel are very small, so confirming the reservation apartment, I feel sure that I will have enough room for a living and work.
The Hyatt Suite upgrade awards are much more generous than what other hotel loyalty programs are offered. For example, Marriott's Nightly Award upgrades require you to use one prize by night and are confirmed only a few days before your stay. Especially now that members can Use Hyatt Suite Awards for upgrade when booking onlineThese awards have become extremely valuable.

Hyatt guest awards Are the strike that really stands out the World of Hyatt from other hotel loyalty programs. Like the Suite upgrade awards, you can earn awards for Honor Honor through the Hyatt Milestone Rewards program starting with 40 qualifying nights or 65,000 base points in the calendar year.
Each honor rewards unlocks a globalistic experience for someone (or yourself) at an acceptable paid or award at up to seven nights. When staying at the Honorary Guest Award, the guest is treated as a globalist, so he will get all the perquets on the spot, making free access to breakfast or salon and upgrades of the room-scientifically reserved for globalist members.
So even if you can't do it earn globalistic statusYou can earn an honorary guest award each year by staying 40 qualifying nights or raising 65,000 base points. Then you could use the Honor Honor Award you earn to enjoy globalist perkets on a particular stay.
However, if you already have a globalistic status, the guests for honoring guests are still useful because they allow you to share your perquets with others. For example, I used my guests for honoring a special stay for friends, associates and family members. Best of all, now I get an elite qualifying night laid on my account whenever someone else remains to use one of my guests awards.
Gift many types of Hyatt awards other members online. They include awards for the Honor of Host, so you can donate a guest award and the other person can book their stay.
You can, too Transmission Hyatt shows to another member reserve the rest of the award. Although the procedure is a bit unpleasant because you have to fill the paper form, the transfer of the points between the account is still great. My husband has recently signed up for Hyatt World Credit Card (see prices and fees), so we will occasionally switch points from his account to mine. After all, we will want to use my booking account because I have globalistic status and he has the status of discovery.
In the end, you can call Hyatt to use your points to book a prize in someone else's name. This can be useful if you do not want to convey points, but you want to book a stay for someone else.

Program conditions.
Especially after you have real estate problems in other hotel loyalty programs that do not want to fully offer elite benefits for breakfast, it is comforting to have Hyatt globalistic benefit breakfast in conditions and provisions. It is also nice that Hyatt includes breakfast for up to two adults and two children staying in the room.

Priority availability of a room and 16 hours of late checkout
Trains and aircraft do not always leave in time suitable for standard delay times. So, I appreciate that the benefit of 16:00 for globalist members is available at a request at most real estate without many exemptions.
The primary exemptions listed in the conditions and provisions of the program are that “late check -out is subject to availability at Kasino hotels, Hyatt resorts and destination by Hyatt Residences” and “Late Definity is not offered on Hyatt Club Club Properties.”
Likewise, refreshment when you arrive after a red eye flight in the new city is really nice. However, the application time is usually about 15 or 4pm, so I appreciate that globalist members can sign into the first available room in the category they have booked (or an acceptable upgraded type of room if available) as early as 9 hours in most properties (without Hyatt Club Club Properties).

My Hyatt Concierge
Finally, although technically is not a globalistic benefit, my Hyatt Concierge (which you earn as a Hyatt Milestone Award) offers me convenience and confidence that the problems I face during the Hyatt stay will be repaired.
Although I often did not use my dedicated Concierge, I got a good service from my Hyatt Concierge Phone line. I have had problems with the wrong expenses in the account after a stay or a hotel who do not want to offer guaranteed globalistic benefits, the phone agents quickly solved my problem.
However, since Hyatt fired many American telephone agents in June, Some reports show The quality may not be so good now if you call my Hyatt Concierge.

Earn Hyatt points. I earn 5 points per dollar spent on staying in Hyatt Properties, plus 30% bonus points as a globalist member. I also earn 4 bonus points per dollar spent on qualified purchases at Hyatt hotels and resorts when I pay my Hyatt World Credit Card. So, I usually earn 10.5 points per dollar spent on purchase at Hyatt hotels and resorts.
But I don't earn many points through staying. Instead, I buy Hyatt points during sales and often Transfer Chase shows on Hyatt. After all, it's easy for me to get more than 2 cents per point when I buy Hyatt points, so it is usually worth buying or transferring points as needed to reserve the residence of rewards.
Fortunately, I can make a lot of chase with Ultimate Rewards cards. Here are some of the welcome bonuses on the Ultimate Rewards cards that allow you to transfer Chase points to Hyatt (and others Ultimate Prize for Transfer Partner):

Bottom line
As you can see, there is a value in the World of Hyatt, whether you are a loyal globalist member or a rare guest. Especially since you can convey the Bilt Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards Points to Hyatt, it's easy to earn Hyatt points even if you don't use the program often.
Although it grows, Hyatt's primary flaw is its small print. But since you can get good value from World of Hyatt, even if it is not your main loyalty program, the print should not be the reason why you do not use Hyatt. This is especially true if you have a friend or family member who occasionally give you an upgrade of apartments or an honorary guest award for a special stay.
