I am back authoring the newsletter for the next two weeks because, frankly, it’s been too long. We’re starting Tuesday strong with some good news for World of Hyatt elite members and American Airlines status holders. First, American Airlines elite flyers can earn instant World of Hyatt Explorist status for 90 days by [registering for this promo by Nov. 30](. Plus, if you complete 10 qualifying nights during a specified time frame, you’ll receive Explorist status through February 2025. There's also a new way for some World of Hyatt Explorist and Globalist members to [earn American AAdvantage status]( through a targeted challenge called [Instant Status Pass](. Hyatt Explorist members are eligible for instant AAdvantage Platinum status, Globalists are eligible for instant Platinum Pro, and both can become AAdvantage Executive Platinum members upon earning a certain number of Loyalty Points within four months of registering for the challenge. Finally, Hyatt’s newest [Bonus Journeys]( promotion means loyalty members can earn 3,000 bonus points for every three eligible nights on select stays at more than 1,250 Hyatt hotels and resorts from Oct. 6-Nov. 30. Even better, [World of Hyatt Credit Card holders]( can earn an additional 1,000 bonus points for every three eligible nights at a smaller range of participating hotels.
