I wasn’t aware that being a Globalist would waive the resort fees for their resort properties, actually didn’t know they had resort properties ha. Great overview JP, I’ve often wondered why people valued Globalist enough that would warrant a mattress run, seems like you got a good amount of value from it! Ps. 4pm checkout is INSANE. I’ll always try to check in early and get OVER 24 hours in the hotel. Love it.
4pm Checkout is a very underrated benefit, and the resort fees waived have come in handy many times for me, saving me a decent chunk of change. If you ever have the opportunity to become a hyatt globalist, I highly recommend it. I'm currently in Spain enjoying all the awesome benefits 😎 🇪🇸
Marriott, even with Titanium Status, maximum 2 person can access the lounge but with Hyatt, my family of 4 have access the club for free. (I book 1 room only) Even with free full service breakfast, all 4 of us are free too. Upon check out, my folio usually is zero. (Yes, I am a globalist) Hyatt is on another level.
Have you noticed how often there are fast track promotions for globalist? Once a year maybe? I should have done the Bilt promo but I was just learning about Hyatt. I’m now obsessed with Hyatt and globalist is goals! Should be hitting 20 nights this year but hoping a fast track promo comes along soon!! Love the channel, always super helpful info!
They've had one each year for the last 3 years at different times during the year. I'm not sure if they will have one next year. I hope so. I love Hyatt, too, and being a Globalist is pretty awesome. Glad you enjoy the content. Thanks for watching!
My datapoints - I have a one-hundred-percent suite upgrade rate and 4 p.m. late check-out rate with Hyatt Glob and Marriott Plat. With Hilton Diamond I've been getting suite upgrades overseas but I have to beg and plead to check out at 1 or 2 p.m. 😂
Marriott/MGM: hmmm. I wonder if Marriott points will become better value now 🤔 Ubering: I'd definitely recommend this in Los Angeles Korea town. finding parking is crazy! better to just give someone 20 bucks and get transportation taken care of
Thanks for all of the WOH info….I am relatively new to the points and miles game (started in October of 2022) and have two redemptions booked in December 2023 and another in April 2024 ranging from 2-3.9 cpp!!
Welcome! This is a very fun community to be a part of. I'm glad to hear you already made a couple of bookings. Points trips always feel better than paid ones 😉
Becoming a Hyatt Globalist is definitely something I'm interested in over time. I imagine I'll have to achieve that during a promo of some kind, but considering how much of a Hyatt fan I am, I see myself trying to get it at some point no matter what. Out of curiosity, how easy will it be for you to retain that status for the coming years? I haven't looked into the details of that yet, but that could definitely be a difficult thing to do if you have to hit those minimum requirements for Globalist every year. Great video all around JP! This was a super entertaining watch.
It won't be easy for me to get globalist again. 60 elite nights is tough. But if you can achieve it, the benefits are definitely worth it. I appreciate you watching. Keep killing it, Spencer 🙌🏾
My Guy is working! WOH is on my list but I think I'm going to pick up the Personal IHG Premier card before the 140k and $100 statement credit sub goes away next month. I'll be 16/24 so wish me luck hahahah BTW, Good interview on the 850 Club Credit Show
Loved the Park Hyatt Tokyo! I was literally escorted around the hotel as soon as I got to the entrance of the building as they gave me a tour of the amenities like the restaurant, the gym, library, lounge, etc.
I remember ordering the traditional Japanese breakfast and was soooo full. Also got a delicious yogurt parfait with honey in it. Total value was ~$50 but all of it was free! It felt weird eating so much food for over an hour and being so full, but getting all that for free was amazing!
This hotel is the best I've ever visited and the best breakfast I've ever had 😋. I really loved my stay here. I'm interested in seeing what it looks like after the remodeling.
first again, now lets actually watch the video lol, hey JP i just was approved for the barclays red aviator card im going to redeem those AA miles for business class on JAL availability is much easier to find on JAL I have the 2 night reward cert. from hilton cards, I plan on using those nights on conrad tokyo when i finally book the flights. Great vid you recommend booking japan-nyc or nyc-japan because u mentioned service is better if you fly out of japan. thanks
Awesome! Congratulations on your new card. I would recommend booking the first class from Tokyo to NYC because this way, you will be able to experience the first class lounge, and also the Salon Champagne 🍾
That's awesome! Seems like there's a lot less Hyatt properties not wanting to honor elite benefits like you hear about with other programs - especially Marriott. Thanks for much for sharing your experience + hope you get Globalist for another year!!!
Eliza Jane during Mardi Gras 2024 has ain't no cancellation policy. No refunds will be given at all four cancellations of points for cash. At least that is what they told me on the phone a couple weeks back
Since Marti Gras is such a big event, they don't give you the option to cancel. Hotels are super expensive during Marti Gras. You can get great value for your points.
JP are you going to be able to hit Globalist again this year? I am at a total of 8 nights so farvthis year but have 15 nights booked for the rest of the year. This years first half travel was reduced a bit but even if I got the Hyatt business card I probably still coildnt make 60 nights. Lol
Yep, I'm going to hit globalist again. I'm currently in Spain, and when I return, I will be over 50 elite nights. So if all goes according to plan, I will be globalist before years end 🤞🏽🍀
I have a question though: I looked at Park Hyatt Aviara located in Carlsbad and it requires both points and cash.... they don't offer just points alone as a reward option. do you know why that is?

Doesn’t the nights reset each calendar year? That’s what it says on website… calendar year…

100% rate suite upgrade 👏🏾. I'm not that lucky. I always get 4pm check out though

My best hotel for a Globalist is grand hyatt HONG KONG. Best lounge with great views over looking the harbour
I'm gonna have to check that hotel out at some point.
Hopefully Bilt does this promotion again. I would definitely like to try out the Globalist status.
Heres to hoping for the Bilt promotion next year 🤞🏽🍀
That's how I got Globalist.

Yeah, with more globalist, it becomes harder to get upgrades! But I really can't complain. I still love the program 💳
GREAT OVERVIEW
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! !

If I bring someone with me (my mom or adult daughter), do they get access to the benefits (like breakfast, club access) as my guest?
Yes. You and one guest will get the benefits as long as you are listed under the same room.

Hyatts are nice but earning top status seems difficult when compared to hilton or marriott.
Im team hilton for life😅
It is more difficult, but if you can hit it, the benefits are worth it. Nothing wrong with being team Hilton. That is my #2 hotel.
@@jpknowledge8852 as far as a battle between hilton diamond and hyatt globalists, which do u think has more to offer?
I have a question though: I looked at Park Hyatt Aviara located in Carlsbad and it requires both points and cash.... they don't offer just points alone as a reward option. do you know why that is?
All of the available points rooms are already booked. You would have to choose a different date to get a full points stay.
@@jpknowledge8852 tyvm!!
Doesn't really seem like you got a lot out of status to be honest. Would not pursue globalist for that little of stays
I get a lot! I'm currently in Madrid, and I got an upgrade. If you can get Hyatt top Status, I would say go for it !!
