American
Airlines AAdvantage Program and World of Hyatt have announced an expanded
membership to make travel more rewarding for members of both programs, from
takeoff to turndown.
Beginning January 2025, AAdvantage members can choose World
of Hyatt awards at various levels in Loyalty Point Rewards and World of
Hyatt members will be able to select AAdvantage rewards as part of World of
Hyatt Milestone Rewards.
Members who link their AAdvantage and World of Hyatt
accounts can unlock more awards to personalize their travel experiences as they
earn and redeem miles and points within both travel reward ecosystems.
“AAdvantage makes travel even better for our most loyal
customers whether it is with priority benefits and preferred seating or booking
a Hyatt hotel stay using miles,” said Anmol Bhargava, American’s Vice President
of Partnerships. “Through our relationship with World of Hyatt, our members can
unlock more meaningful rewards and choose to redeem miles for what’s most
valuable to them during their travels.”
Program members can tap into valuable rewards like the
choice of elite status, preferred seating with more legroom on American
flights, the ability to redeem miles for Hyatt Free Night Awards or redeem
points for American’s Status for a Day.
“As our member base continues to grow, we are evolving this
strategic airline-hotel relationship to align with what today’s travelers want
– more choices, increased redemption abilities and status opportunities,” said
Laurie Blair, vice president, global marketing, Hyatt.
She added, “World of Hyatt has been redefining loyalty by
adding more choice and ease of use for experiences that are more meaningful for
our members. We believe in the transformative power of travel, and the
evolution of this relationship gives our members more opportunities to enhance
their travel journeys with experiences that matter most to them.”
