FAQ
Is a Hyatt Globalist status match worth pursuing?
Very much so. Globalist is considered the best hotel status in the industry: free breakfast for 2, suite upgrades (confirmed on check-in), 4 PM late checkout, no resort fees, and unrestricted annual award nights. A 10-15 night challenge often takes half a year to complete, but the benefits dwarf the cost.
