Air Canada Aeroplan and World of HyattAir Canada’s Aeroplan and World of Hyatt have unveiled a new loyalty collaboration that gives members more opportunities to earn, redeem and convert points across both programs, while introducing reciprocal elite benefits and accelerated status opportunities. Effective immediately, members can link their Aeroplan and World of Hyatt accounts to unlock a range of new benefits spanning flights, hotel stays and loyalty rewards. The partnership connects Aeroplan’s network of more than 1,300 destinations with Hyatt’s portfolio of more than 1,500 hotels and resorts worldwide. NEW REDEMPTION & EARNING OPPORTUNITIES One of the biggest changes is the introduction of reciprocal redemption options. Aeroplan members can now redeem points for World of Hyatt Free Night Awards at participating Hyatt properties, with Category 1-4 and Category 1-7 awards starting at 25,000 Aeroplan points. Meanwhile, World of Hyatt members can redeem Hyatt points for a 30,000-point Aeroplan flight reward certificate that can be applied toward Air Canada and partner airline reward flights. Members also gain new earning options. Aeroplan members can now earn points on eligible stays at participating Hyatt hotels and resorts or choose to receive 500 Aeroplan points per stay instead of World of Hyatt points. For Canadian-issued Aeroplan credit cardholders, linking accounts unlocks dual earning opportunities on eligible Hyatt stays. Depending on the card, members can earn up to 2.5 Aeroplan points and two World of Hyatt Bonus Points per eligible dollar spent. The partnership also introduces reciprocal point conversion. World of Hyatt points can be converted to Aeroplan points at a 2:1 ratio starting with 5,000 Hyatt points. Aeroplan Elite Status members gain an exclusive benefit allowing them to convert Aeroplan points into World of Hyatt Bonus Points at the same 2:1 ratio, subject to daily and weekly limits. |
