Bilt Rewards is a rewards program that continues to surprise as it goes above and beyond the rental program it was launched as. Each month for their “rent day” promo, they have offered something unique. In the past, it included United Airlines elite status. Now, it is probably the best promo yet – free Hyatt Explorist status for a short time with a fast track offer to keep Explorist status or earn the top-tier Hyatt Globalist status!
Get Hyatt Globalist Status with This Fast Track
Link: Bilt Rewards
In the past, there have been Hyatt Globalist fast track offers but they were often either once-per-lifetime or only for certain corporate customers. This fast track for Hyatt Globalist status actually is open for all and is great for anyone that wants to lock in some nice elite benefits for almost 2 years.
To get started, you need to join the Bilt Rewards program (free to join). You don’t need the Bilt Rewards credit card for this so if you are not already registered, just go sign-up for free now. You will need the latest version of their app for your phone to get this new offer.
Next, you will need to link your Hyatt account with your Bilt Rewards account. Again, free! It only takes a moment so go ahead and do that, if you have not already done that.
Lastly, just click to “unlock World of Hyatt Elite status” and you will get an e-mail that your request has been received. You are good to go! Make sure you do this by April 1!!!!
What You Need to Know About This Hyatt Globalist Fast Track
Ok, now with the enrollment out of the way, let’s break down what you need to know. First of all, this promo will actually go into effect on April 17 (and you will receive an e-mail of confirmation from Bilt before then) and will be valid for stays through July 16th.
If you have the trial Hyatt Explorist status, it will be good during that period. During this time, if you do 10 nights, you will earn Hyatt Explorist status through February 28, 2025. Award nights do count!
If you do 20 nights, you will earn Hyatt Globalist status thorough February 28, 2025. Hyatt Globalist status normally requires 60 nights in a calendar year so this is significantly less. However, you will not get the various milestone awards that you would get if you earned Hyatt Globalist status the regular way – such as suite upgrade awards and a Category 1-7 free night award. The reason is that those milestone awards are tied to the nights you stay, not the status you have.
However, you will get all the regular benefits of a Hyatt Globalist (minus the Hyatt Concierge), which includes the free breakfasts, suite upgrades at check-in, and more.
This is definitely worth it if you have stays coming up where Globalist status would unlock nicer experiences for you, such as the free breakfast. I am normally not a huge breakfast person but there are some hotels that offer incredible breakfast spreads, like one of my favorite hotels – the Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki. This breakfast normally costs €25 per person and is an incredible spread of food from Greece and some American options as well.
So, if you value Hyatt Globalist status, make sure you sign-up for this! I actually lost my Globalist status so I am thrilled with this and will be going for it. This is made easier for me since my local Hyatt Regency just dropped to a Category 1 with the huge award change that went into effect this week.
Don’t forget that there is the Hyatt Bonus Journeys promo going on now as well where you get 3,000 points for every 2nd night (after your first eligible night stays) through May 26!
