Hyatt Globalist elite status requires travelers to hit one of two metrics to earn this top-tier status:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Stay 60 nights<\/li>\n
- Earn 100,000 base points<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Thankfully you don't have to actually sleep 60 nights in a Hyatt hotel to earn Hyatt Globalist. There are a few shortcuts we'll cover below.<\/p>\n

Staying at Hyatt Hotels<\/span><\/h3>\n
The most straightforward way to earn Globalist status with Hyatt is by spending nights in a Hyatt property. You can earn Hyatt qualifying nights<\/a> from both paid stays as well as award redemptions.<\/p>\n
Note that reservations booked through third-party platforms \u2014 like Expedia, Hotels.com, or even some Chase Travel portal reservations \u2014 are ineligible to earn qualifying nights within the World of Hyatt program<\/a>, so they should be avoided if the end goal is earning status or enjoying the perks once you have earned it.<\/p>\n
Earning base points<\/span><\/h3>\n
If 60 nights seems insurmountable, you can alternatively reach World of Hyatt Globalist by earning 100,000 base points each year. World of Hyatt members generally earn 5X base points for each dollar they spend on eligible hotel charges, including room rates, dining, spa services, and other eligible purchases at participating Hyatt hotels and resorts.<\/p>\n
Hyatt Studios is an exception, with stays earning 2.5X base points per dollar spent.<\/p>\n
Back-of-the-napkin math means that at the standard 5X earning rate, you'd need to spend $20,000 a year at Hyatt to earn and keep Globalist status.<\/p>\n
Additionally, you can rack up base points toward top-tier Hyatt status through the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 5X base points per dollar spent on stays at Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt.<\/li>\n
- 10X base points per dollar spent on FIND experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Just keep in mind that only base points count toward Globalist status; bonus points don't.<\/p>\n

If you hold either the personal or business version of the World of Hyatt credit card, you can use it to spend your way to Hyatt Globalist.<\/p>\n
The World of Hyatt Credit Card<\/a> awards five qualifying night credits annually<\/strong> plus two additional qualifying night credits for every $5,000<\/strong> spent on the card.<\/p>\n
But you'll also earn more than just an accelerated path to Hyatt status. You'll earn Hyatt points when you spend on the card \u2014 with bonus points on everything from hotel stays to local transit, commuting, and gym memberships.<\/p>\n
You'll receive a Category 1\u20134 free night certificate<\/a> each year you have this credit card, and you can earn another free night certificate after spending $15,000 on purchases annually. These free night certificates are valid at any properties in Category 1\u20134, and a Hyatt member can redeem a free night for a one-night stay or as part of a longer stay. You'll also earn elite-qualifying night credits on eligible award stays booked with Hyatt points or free night awards.<\/p>\n
