Delta, Hyatt to Team up in New Airline-Hotel Loyalty Partnership
Delta and Hyatt will let eligible elite members earn both hotel points and airline miles on qualifying travel as the companies expand their loyalty tie-up.
American AAdvantage and World of Hyatt will end their "enhanced" partnership at the end of the current program year following "careful consideration" and a "mutually decided" separation by both companies.
The two programs significantly scaled back their relationship in early 2025, eliminating automatic reciprocal points earning and reducing perks to Loyalty Point Rewards and Milestone Rewards redemption options.
Members who link accounts by November 15, 2026, can continue earning awards through February 28, 2027, for American members and December 31, 2026, for Hyatt members with no interruption to benefits.
Delta and Hyatt will launch a new loyalty collaboration in the coming months, with Delta CEO Ed Bastian and Hyatt CEO Mark Hoplamazian aiming to create "memorable experiences" throughout the travel journey.
Spanning 36 brands in 83 countries, the new Delta and Hyatt arrangement positions the carriers to offer connected benefits, allowing members to earn points and miles on qualifying travel.
