American Airlines and Hyatt have announced a new promotion that will help you fast-track your way to elite status with World of Hyatt if you hold American Airlines AAdvantage status. You’ll need to have elite status with American in order to take advantage of the promotion, but those who do and complete the promotion requirements can upgrade their elite status with Hyatt all the way through February 2024.
American Airlines Elite Members Can Earn Hyatt Elite Status
Those who have any level of elite status within the AAdvantage program (Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro, or Executive Platinum) are able to register for the new promotion to earn up to Hyatt Globalist status after completing qualifying activity within 3 months of registering.
You will automatically receive a 90-day trial of Hyatt Explorist status, and you can extend that status level, or improve it, by meeting the following criteria within the 90-day window:
- Gold and Platinum members need to stay 10 nights within 90 days of registering to maintain Explorist status through February 2024
- Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum members can stay 20 nights within 90 days of registering to keep and maintain Globalist status through February 2024
Keep in mind that, while you have until November 30, 2022, to register for the promotion, the 3-month qualification window starts as soon as you register. So, unless you have a stay scheduled within the next few days, we recommend you wait to register so that you can fully maximize the 90-day window.
Hot Tip: The number of benefits you’ll receive at each level of elite status with World of Hyatt can vary pretty drastically. Have a look at our guide that breaks down the benefits you receive at each level to help you decide if World of Hyatt elite status is worth it or not.

Those who complete the promotion and earn Globalist status won’t quite receive all of the Globalist benefits, though, as the Milestone benefits of Suite Upgrade Awards still are not earned until the 50-night and 60-night milestones, along with the free Category 7 certificate and access to My Hyatt Concierge Agent — also earned at the 60-night milestone.
If you’re interested in the promotion you can register via your World of Hyatt account.
