World of Hyatt launched Milestone Rewards in December 2018 (read more here) that began from the 2019 membership year.
Milestone Rewards, like those similar with Hilton Honors, awards members throughout the year when they hit a select number of nights or base points ($$$ spend) thresholds. Why no extra bonuses for members with more than 100 nights?
You can access Hyatt’s page for Milestone Rewards here.

Here are Hyatt’s Milestone bonuses:
Club Lounge awards are suitable for non-Globalist members at 20 and 30 nights as well as 2 Suite upgrades at 50 nights.
And With Hilton:
Honors members get 10,000 bonus points for every 10 nights starting at 40 + special bonus of extra 30,000 points at 60 nights.
100+ Nights
Hyatt won’t offer any additional bonus points.
I asked why and got the following statement from the Hyatt spokesperson:
Through World of Hyatt’s continued listening-based approach, Milestone Rewards was designed to motivate members to stay with us as often as they’re able – offering rewards at each 10 increment levels from 10 nights to 100 nights, unlike competitive programs – delivering value for a wide range of members at different membership tiers. Given the richness of our Globalist tier, Milestone Rewards at 70, 80, 90 and 100 nights, and the richness of our promotions – we believe the value is felt for members no matter how many nights they choose to stay with us.
Conclusion
These milestone bonuses with Hyatt partially replaced the lost Gold Passport Diamond 1,000 bonus points per stay amenity bonus.
You get up to 50,000 World of Hyatt bonus points if you always choose the 10,000 bonus option at the 60 nights through 100 (you can select five times).
Nothing is preventing Hyatt from continuing to offer 10,000 points or a suite upgrade for every 10 nights consumed. I wish they did just that.
wow, that is impressive. 101 nights in 2020… Most of them in Japan I assume. I am jealous
wow. 1001 nights in the year 2020. Most of them in Japan I assume. I am jealous.
I feel you. Had around 150 nights last year and would have about 100 this year however if they had additional bonuses i could have around 130 this year…
So what do people do?
It is end of April and I have 130 nights. Probably going to have 300+ nights.
Swap to another chain?
I got status match with Marriot and already done 21 nights already this year. I like Hyatt.
Can’t easily gift suite upgrades to my family, as I need to be there to check in and apply suite upgrades for my own stays.
First, I stopped “racing” to the 70, 80, 90, and 100 bonus round. The upgrade, I have so many I couldn’t use them mostly because of the “not available.” I have been a Gold and Globalist for 16 years straight.
Second, I usually try to keep my other hotel accounts active because sometimes it might be difficult to find a Hyatt.
Third, as long as I maintain status, that’s most important.
2021 will be interesting. So far in 2020, our month in Hawaii cancelled, Dubai Expo cancelled, Paris cancelled. And our scheduled month in Orlando January trip is still on. Can’t use points because the rates are so low.
My wife thought about a 3-day trip to a Hyatt Resort, but no fitness center, no pool, and the Club was closed. I’ll stay home and watch Columbo.
With all your nights, are the Regency Clubs closed? What have you noticed are the biggest losses for the Globalists?
Have you done any Resorts? Love to hear some first hand experiences.
Thanks.
Most of these stays were in Japan where business was as usual.
I love the absolute non-answer from Hyatt. So silly.
Admit it. Change it.
It makes no sense whatsoever, and it loses you business.
I am at 100 nights with Hyatt… And would definitely go for 150 if there were continual benefits… so they lose 50 nights with me…
Instead I will turn my attention to Hilton or someone I have a bit less interest in… ro get the perks. Lifetime Mattiott platinum—-but honestly I really prefer Hyatt.
Oh and what’s up with no Globalist for life? Again, losing customers…
Ah well.
