At today’s press conference, Hyatt and Chase announced that they are strengthening the partnership between the two consumer-favorite brands, which has generated a lot of excitement. One exciting update is that some Chase cardholders will get Hyatt Explorist status, and Hyatt also plans to expand its credit card lineup in 2026.
Here are a few key points:
- With the rollout of Hyatt mid-tier and premium cards, we hope one of them becomes a pathway to top-tier Globalist status.
- More luxury Hyatt brands, such as Park Hyatt and Alila, will be added to Chase Travel’s “The Edit” program.
- Starting in mid-2026, high-spending holders of the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ cards will receive Hyatt Explorist status in World of Hyatt.
