A rep from the World of Hyatt program advised that the program earning period last until December 31st and that you would have until that time to qualify, regardless of the 90 day window from the time of registration. Is there any other way to confirm the validity of this statement?

Hi Wayne,
You could contact another Hyatt rep to make sure they are giving you the same information.

I went to link my accounts and it says that they were already linked. I’m Explorist with Hyatt, but don’t see a link to register for the status match to AA Platinum…

Check under the promotions tab in your AA profile. This link will bring you there: https://www.aa.com/aadvantage-program/profile/promotions

I only see the link to register to get Hyatt elite status when I go to the link you provided. I don’t see the link to use my Explorist status with Hyatt to get upgraded to AA Platinum. Should I contact AA for help with this. I contacted Hyatt and they didn’t seem to know how to help.

Once you link your Hyatt and AA account, go back to your AA profile and look under Promotions. Sometimes you need to scroll down as it can be hidden a bit. Logging out and in again may help as well.

I have the exactly same problem as you.

If you just linked your accounts, you may need to wait until December 12 before the offer shows in your AA promotions.

I have linked my Hyatt Globalist account 1 week ago but I did not find the fast track under Promotions. I sent mail to Hyatt was told I need to check with AA. I sent mail to AA and was told I need to check with Hyatt….so I am looping. Is anyone having the same issue?

Hi Ray,
Yes, that can definitely happen. It was a pretty targeted promotion, so if it wasn’t in your AA promotions tab you’re out of luck. I didn’t get it either so I understand how frustrating that can be.
