As a World of Hyatt Explorist or Globalist member, you now have an opportunity to fast track to AAdvantage elite status by completing the qualifying activity listed below within 3 months of registering and you’ll keep AAdvantage status through January 2022.

I love crossover programs because they’re basically just a nice way to earn free loyalty points and benefits. And earning airline status is usually very expensive and time consuming so it’s definitely worth your time to assess these opportunities for yourself. Currently, World of Hyatt elite members earn one Hyatt Point for every eligible dollar spent on qualifying American Airlines flights. While, AAdvantage elite members earn one bonus mile for every eligible dollar spent at qualifying Hyatt hotels. This partnership also resulted in a lot of Globalists being matched to Executive Platinum!
