Delta and Hyatt’s New Loyalty Deal
Delta Air Lines and Hyatt have announced a new loyalty partnership, replacing the previous arrangement with American Airlines. The deal will allow members of both programs to earn points and miles for flights and hotel stays. The partnership is set to launch in the coming months. The new collaboration includes reciprocal status benefits for elite members. Details will be shared in the next few months.
American Airlines Ends Partnership with Hyatt
American Airlines and Hyatt ended their yearslong relationship, paving the way for Delta’s new deal. The previous partnership allowed members to earn points for both programs. The new Delta-Hyatt collaboration brings back this benefit. The change comes after American Airlines and Hyatt revealed their decision to end the partnership. The new deal is expected to offer similar perks.
Dual-Earning Perks for Travelers
The new partnership allows travelers to earn both Delta SkyMiles and World of Hyatt points at the same time. This means a Hyatt stay could earn both types of points. A Delta flight would also earn both. The dual-earning benefit was a key feature of the previous American-Hyatt partnership. It is now available with Delta instead of American. This offers more flexibility for frequent travelers.
Reciprocal Status Benefits
Elite members of Delta Medallion and World of Hyatt will gain reciprocal benefits. This means their status will be recognized across both programs. The benefit is expected to enhance the value of both loyalty programs. It offers more advantages for high-tier travelers. The companies plan to share more details in the coming months.
Hyatt Points Are Highly Valued
According to The Points Guy, Hyatt points are worth 1.65 cents each. This is double the value of Marriott Bonvoy points. It is also four times the value of Hilton Honors points. The high value of Hyatt points makes the partnership more appealing. It adds to the appeal of the new Delta-Hyatt deal. Travelers looking to maximize rewards may find this beneficial.
