Etihad Guest has launched new 20% points to miles conversion bonus that is valid April 1 – 30, 2019.
The bonus is valid only from select conversion partners listed below (probably makes sense to do the conversion early in April if possible).
World of Hyatt has brought back the popular Elite Tier offer for select corporate travelers that is valid for sign ups through November 29, 2019.
Eligible members will have their World of Hyatt status upgraded to Explorist for 90 days. Members must then consume 10 nights to have the status extended through February 2021 or 20 nights to get Globalist that usually requires 60 nights within a calendar year.
Hyatt has revamped their World of Hyatt website as well as their mobile app with additional features that give the member more browsing and information options.

Hyatt made an announcement back on October 8, 2018 (read more here) that it had reached an agreement to acquire Two Roads Hospitality (Alila, Joie de Vivre, Thompson and Destination Hotels) and its 85 or so hotels.
Today World of Hyatt announced that Thompson Hotels would become program participating on March 28 and Joie de Vivre on May 15. Alila and Destination Hotels don’t have a firm integration date yet. Sixty or so hotels are joining Hyatt and the rest decided to stay independent and reflag (roughly third).
Our Fabulous Fridays topic this week is about the ability to redeem your hotel points during peak season dates when cash prices are through the roof and loyalty currency rates remain static for standard rooms.
One such example is at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo this week where regular rates reached US$700 a night but it’s still possible to book at just 12,000 Hyatt Points per night.
We’d like te remind our readers about World of Hyatt award chart changes that will take effect on Monday March 18, 2019 after which many hotels will change their categories.
As some hotels will go up in price this would be the last chance to lock in award reservations at the current levels before many will rise.
Our Whine Wednesday topic this week is about hotels that don’t assign proper room upgrades to their top tier elite members and one such case occurred last week at the Andaz Singapore.
Many hotel loyalty programs, including World of Hyatt, nowadays include the benefit of upgrades to the highest category room including standard suites but some hotel play games with this.
