World of Hyatt is currently offering a status match/challenge to some (lucky!) travellers. Rumours have been going round for a little while that individual Hyatt Sales Managers had been authorised to fast-track status for some potentially regular/big spending guests and now there seems to be something more official available. The hitch is that it only seems to be work for employees of particular corporations – but no specific businesses are actually listed… Anyway, if you’re in the market for Hyatt status and happen to work for a big company, you might as well try your luck.

You can find the sign up page for the offer here.

If you are eligible, all you need is your Hyatt membership number and your work email address:

As you can see, sadly, InsideFlyer isn’t deemed sufficiently corporate.

Offer details

Bottom line

It’s a shame this doesn’t seem to be more widely targeted, as I imagine many readers (myself included) would be tempted by it.

Hyatt Globalist is widely regarded as the best top-level status offered by the big hotel programmes, and given the new SLH partnership, there are a lot more World of Hyatt options in the UK and Europe these days.

20 nights out of 90 is still a substantial commitment to 1 hotel chain (compared to the Hilton Diamond challenge for example, which only requires 8 stays ), so it’s not like Hyatt is ‘giving’ away status here. Hopefully this trial will be a success and we’ll see something similar for all members in the future.

Anyone managed to sign up? – what company do you work for?
