World of Hyatt

Written By Churning Canada

World of Hyatt (WoH) is the loyalty program offered by Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. You have various ways to earn points, such as staying at Hyatt hotels, using their services, or organizing meetings and events with them. You can also earn points by staying at MGM Resorts, using Hyatt-affiliated credit cards, participating in FIND Experiences, joining Lindblad Expeditions, converting points from Chase UR, and purchasing points directly. These points can be used to book hotel stays, enjoy on-site experiences, participate in FIND Experiences, join Lindblad Expeditions, organize meetings and events, rent Avis cars, and even transfer points to airline partners. Additionally, you have the opportunity to earn free night certificates as well.

  • You can achieve different status levels in the WoH program by actively participating in the program, as shown in the first table below. Having certain co-branded credit cards can also grant you specific status levels. However, it's important to note that receiving status through credit cards does not automatically give you credit for staying nights (for example, having automatically conveyed Discoverist status doesn't mean you also earn 10 night credits).

    Status member benefits are illustrated in the second table below.
