Aeroplan opens a 90-day status fast track for top World of Hyatt members
Members of World of Hyatt at the Explorist or Globalist tier can now enter an Aeroplan challenge that needs only around a third of the normal status credits.
Air Canada's Aeroplan program has started a status challenge for some World of Hyatt members. Prince of Travel and Loyalty Lobby both reported the news on October 14.
The offer is open to World of Hyatt Explorists and Globalists. They can earn Aeroplan elite status with roughly a third of the Status Qualifying Credits (SQC) that most members need.
The challenge runs for 90 days, starting on the day you register. Each member can take one challenge per calendar year.
Explorists can reach Aeroplan 25K status. According to Prince of Travel, the top level a Globalist can reach is Aeroplan 75K.
Aeroplan and Hyatt began their partnership in July. Loyalty Lobby reports that the launch gave Hyatt elites very limited benefits, while Aeroplan elites received far more. This challenge adds a new perk for the Hyatt side.
What it means for travelers
Aeroplan status can bring perks on Air Canada flights, and it normally takes a lot of travel to earn. Hyatt members with Explorist or Globalist status may now reach it faster. The reduced credit requirement could make the challenge worth a look if you plan to fly with Air Canada soon.
What to watch next
Check the official Aeroplan and World of Hyatt pages for the exact credit thresholds, the registration steps and the rules on which activity counts. Confirm the details before you register, because the 90-day clock starts at sign-up.
