I have been Globalist with the World of Hyatt program since it launched in 2016. The status requires staying 60 nights (paid, award, or a mix of both) or that a member earn 100,000 base points annually (five base points equal $1, so this method requires spending $20,000 each year). I’m happy to report that I’ll be enjoying another year and all of the benefits in 2023.
Here is how I qualified in 2022:
- Chase World of Hyatt Card (5 Nights | Annual Bonus)
- Park Hyatt St. Kitts (6 Nights | Paid)
- Chicago Athletic Association (1 Night | Paid)
- Chase World of Hyatt Card (2 Nights | $5K Spend)
- Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay (3 Nights | Paid)
- Hyatt Place St. Petersburg/Downtown (2 Nights | Award)
- Hyatt Place Warwick Providence Airport (2 Nights | Paid)
- Hyatt Union Square New York (3 Nights | Paid)
- Bellagio (1 Night | Paid)
- Hyatt House Chicago/West Loop-Fulton Market (2 Nights | Award)
- Hyatt Regency Houston Intercontinental Airport (1 Night | Paid)
- Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson (2 Nights | Paid)
- Grand Hotel Cocumella (3 Nights | Paid)
- Grand Hotel Angiolieri (2 Nights | Paid)
- Hyatt Regency Zurich Airport The Circle (1 Night | Paid)
- Hyatt Regency New Brunswick (1 Night | Paid)
- Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki (3 Nights | Paid)
- The Excelsior (2 Nights | Paid)
- Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport (1 Night | Paid)
- Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay (2 Nights | Award)
- Andaz 5th Avenue (2 Nights | Award)
- Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay (2 Nights | Paid)
- Chase World of Hyatt Card (2 Nights | $5K Spend)
- Hyatt Place Secaucus/Meadowlands (1 Night | Award)
- Hyatt House Bridgewater (1 Night | Paid)
- Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay (1 Night | Award)
- Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson (1 Night | Paid)
- Hyatt Regency Cologne (2 Nights | Paid)
- Park Hyatt Zurich (2 Nights | Award)
- Delano Las Vegas (2 Nights | Paid)
My last stay put me over the 60-night threshold. Here is the breakdown, paid versus award:
- Nine nights were earned with my Chase World of Hyatt card (five for being a cardmember annually and four that came from spending over $10,000 on the card. The card awards two for every $5,000 spent).
- 40 nights were paid.
- 12 nights were from points and free night certificate redemptions.
This means that I spent 52 nights in hotels across Hyatt properties as well as its partners MGM Resorts and Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH).
Breakdown by Brand:
Hyatt Regency is not usually the brand where I stay most, but this year found me staying under this flag in Houston, Jersey City, Zurich, New Brunswick, Thessaloniki, Orlando, and Cologne in a mix of city, airport, and resort locations.
Globalist Benefits
Globalist benefits have netted me some amazing upgrades (like the Presidential Suite at the Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki; check it out here), delicious breakfasts, and stellar treatment worldwide. I’m working my way to Lifetime Globalist and should hit that in the next five years.
Anthony’s Take: I’m looking forward to another year as a World of Hyatt Globalist. Overall, I find the program to be great. I just wish that Hyatt could rival Marriott in sheer numbers. They’re working on this deficiency with acquisitions and great partnerships, but there are still a lot of places without adequate coverage.
