My point is that you shouldn’t worry about it. My guess is that three of these new elites altogether barely travel as much as one “old-school” elite. But will you be? Consider that the people who earn status through promotions like the ones described above do not travel as much as you do (where “you” are the person who stays in hotels at least 60 nights per year). So, OK, the three perks above might be impacted IF the hotels you stay in are swamped with top tier elite members. An influx of Globalist members can certainly make that worse. Club access: Sometimes hotel club lounges can be overcrowded.If there’s more competition for late check-out at these “subject to availability” properties, there will likely be fewer granted requests. 4PM late check-out (subject to availability at hotels with a casino, Destination Residences, and Hyatt resorts): This perk tends to be most valuable at resorts.

Room upgrade at check-in, including suites: Competition could make it much harder to score a great upgrade at check-in.

The only perks that are likely to be affected by having more Globalist members are as follows: Most of the benefits on the above list are totally safe.

Is a hotel going to run out of free parking, free breakfast, or waived resort fees if too many Globalists show up? No, of course not. Let’s take a look at Globalist benefits and see which ones might be hurt if there is a big influx of elite members: The worry is that a huge influx of elite members will dilute the value they get from status. When promotions make it easy to achieve top level elite status, we usually hear grumbling from those who earn elite status the hard way year after year. If everyone’s elite, no one’s elite (not true!)

Top tier status offers free parking on award stays (that’s huge in cities like New York!), free breakfast, waived resort fees on paid stays (all Hyatt members get waived resort fees on award stays), and more. Hyatt’s low and mid-tier elite status levels aren’t very exciting, but top-tier Globalist status is. More recently, via our podcast, we took a broader look at “ Which is the most rewarding hotel loyalty program?” Again, Hyatt blew away the competition. Hyatt came out on top in nearly every category. In my 2022 post “ Which hotel elite program is best?” I compared Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Marriott. For more on the Bilt/Hyatt status challenge, see: Hyatt Globalist fast track through Bilt Rewards for Rent Day. If you have questions about the spring promo and/or mattress running, see Mattress running Hyatt’s Q2 2023 promo. If you manage to do all off-peak, the bonus points from the spring promo can cut your total point cost nearly in half.

Will all category 1 stays, your total cost should range from 73,500 points for all category 1 off-peak nights, to 105,000 points standard, to 136,500 points peak. Hyatt’s category 1 hotels cost only 3,500 points per night off-peak, 5,000 points per night standard, or 6,500 points peak. One way of accomplishing all this is to book your stays entirely with points. Then, if you stay 20 nights between April 17 and May 26, you’ll earn 30,000 points from the Spring promo and Globalist status from the Bilt promo! Considering that our current Reasonable Redemption Value for Hyatt points is 2.1 cents per point, that’s like a $630 rebate! If you also have a Hyatt credit card, and if your stays are in hotels in qualifying areas, you’ll earn an additional 500 bonus points per two nights, for a total of 5,000 additional points. So, to make the math easy, let’s say you do a 1 night stay during the spring promo, but before the Bilt promo begins. And in both cases, award stays count.Īs a reminder, the spring promo offers 3,000 bonus points after every 2 nights, but only after your first stay during the promo period. In other words, stays between April 17 and May 26 will count towards both promotions. The Bilt/Hyatt promo is for stays between April 17 and July 16. The spring promo ( register by April 30, 2023) is for stays between March 20 and May 26, 2023. And now, Bilt (which is free to join and doesn’t require getting their credit card) is offering a complementary Hyatt promotion: register by April 1 to enroll in a 90 day challenge where you’ll earn top tier Globalist status after staying 20 nights during the promotion period.

I previously wrote about how Hyatt’s spring promotion makes it possible to earn top tier elite status through “mattress running” with cheap award stays (see: Mattress running Hyatt’s Q2 2023 promo).

If everyone’s elite, no one’s elite (not true!).
