World of Hyatt members earn 5X base points for each dollar they spend on eligible rates at Hyatt hotels and resorts, provided they book directly with Hyatt. Stays at Hyatt Studios earn 2.5X base points per dollar spent instead. You'll also earn base points at an identical rate for each dollar spent on dining, spa, and other services at those participating hotels.<\/p>\n<p>Back of the napkin math means you'll need to spend $20,000 a year at Hyatt to earn and keep your Globalist status.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally you also can rack up base points toward top-tier Hyatt status by spending and earning on the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5X base points per dollar spent on stays at Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt.<\/li>\n<li>10X base points per dollar spent on FIND experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just keep in mind that bonus points won't help you toward your quest.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_133059\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/338\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-133059 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Secrets-Tulum-Resort-Spa.webp\" alt=\"Aerial view of Secrets Tulum Resort & Spa\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Secrets-Tulum-Resort-Spa.webp 1920w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Secrets-Tulum-Resort-Spa-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Secrets-Tulum-Resort-Spa-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Secrets-Tulum-Resort-Spa-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Secrets-Tulum-Resort-Spa-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Secrets Tulum Resort & Spa.

And these points are on top of what you can earn by paying with Hyatt credit cards.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Late_checkout\">Late checkout<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Those who earn Globalist status can take advantage of a guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout upon request. But a couple of caveats: This perk is subject to availability at Destination Residences, hotels with a casino, and Hyatt resorts. Additionally, late checkout is not offered at Hyatt Residence Club resorts. However, it should be available on most Hyatt stays, including those at Park Hyatt and Hyatt Regency properties.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_198318\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-198318 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hyatt-Regency-Tokyo-Bay-Featured.png\" alt=\"Exterior of the Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay.\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hyatt-Regency-Tokyo-Bay-Featured.png 1000w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hyatt-Regency-Tokyo-Bay-Featured-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hyatt-Regency-Tokyo-Bay-Featured-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Hyatt-Regency-Tokyo-Bay-Featured-325x260.png 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay.

On free night awards and eligible paid stays, Hyatt Globalists enjoy waived resort fees. Getting waived resort fees as a benefit can save $30 or more per night when visiting places like Las Vegas, Hawaii, New York City, and a growing list of locations that charge those pesky resort and destination fees. This benefit doesn't require using Hyatt credit cards as your payment method; it's automatic.<\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\"><span id=\"Status_match\">Status match<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/world-of-hyatt\/elite-status-shortcuts\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyatt doesn't regularly offer a standing status match<\/a> from other hotel programs.

Reaching this threshold requires accruing 1,000,000 lifetime base points \u2014 a tall task when most members earn 5X base points for each $1 they spend. If you're keeping up with the math, that means an overall spend of $200,000 at Hyatt hotels and resorts.<\/p>\n<p>There's no requirement for a certain number of nights you need to spend in a World of Hyatt-participating property to qualify for Lifetime Globalist, as it's all based on the base points.<\/p>\n<p>And like the annual requirements for achieving Globalist status, only base points earned from eligible stays at Hyatt hotels, Homes & Hideaways, and those earned from FIND experiences count.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which way you spin it, earning the required base points to attain Lifetime Globalist status will take some serious dedication &#8211;and certainly money&#8211; over a long period of time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_129209\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/450\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-129209 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui.webp\" alt=\"Hawaiian beachfront property showing multiple pools surrounded by palm trees, pools chairs, and cabanas\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui.webp 2560w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui-1536x1152.webp 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui-2048x1536.webp 2048w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui-276x207.webp 276w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Andaz-Maui-476x357.webp 476w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Andaz Maui.

Moreover, booking a basic room and receiving an upgrade when available is also pretty sweet \u2014 especially when it's to a standard suite.<\/p>\n<p>Globalist status isn't worth it for everyone, though. More casual Hyatt visitors likely won't see much value in achieving Globalist status as much as ultra-frequent visitors will.
