World of Hyatt and AAdvantage Offer Free Elite Status
World of Hyatt and American Airlines AAdvantage are once again offering their members a fast track to elite status.
Hyatt is giving eligible AAdvantage members Explorist status for 90 days and the option to keep Explorist status or earn Globalist status through February 2026. On the other hand, select AAdvantage members may see an exclusive offer in the promotions tab within their AAdvantage account. Let’s look at the details.
World of Hyatt Trial Tier Offer
Starting today, eligible AAdvantage® status members who have linked their World of Hyatt and AAdvantage® accounts can register and enjoy the benefits of World of Hyatt Explorist status for 90 days with the option of completing qualifying activity in order to keep status through February 2026.
Here’s how it works:
- Eligible AAdvantage® Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum members can register by October 31, 2024 to immediately start enjoying trial Explorist status for 90 days following registration.
- AAdvantage® Gold and Platinum members must stay 10 Tier-Qualifying Nights to keep Explorist status.
- AAdvantage® Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum members must stay 10 Tier-Qualifying Nights to keep Explorist status or stay 20 Tier-Qualifying Nights to earn Globalist status.
- If awarded, status will last through February 2026.
Qualifying activity is earned when a World of Hyatt member books an eligible rate or award night through Hyatt channels. Once earned, members can enjoy elite benefits like a dedicated check-in area, late checkout upon request, and room upgrades as well as club lounge access or complimentary breakfast for Globalist members.
For more information and to take advantage of this limited-time offer, visit the offer website here. There’s a limit one such offer each calendar year per Eligible Member except as otherwise provided.
AAdvantage Elite Status Offer
Unlike the Hyatt offer, this one is targeted. Select American Airlines AAdvantage members who have linked their World of Hyatt and AAdvantage accounts may see an exclusive offer in the promotions tab within their AAdvantage account on aa.com.
I do not see an offer myself, so I’m not sure what the details look like. Let us know if you receive one of these offers.

I have Hyatt Explorist and was targeted for a match to AAdvantage Platinum. It’s basically Instant Status Pass less the registration fee. I likely won’t be able to meet the Loyalty Point requirements to extend it, but the four month timing of the initial period is useful enough for several American flights in that period and I’ll certainly take complimentary Main Cabin Extra for any forward bookings I make during that timeframe.
