An Introduction to Hyatt Hotels + World of Hyatt

World of Hyatt is one of the world's leading hotel loyalty programs. With a fairly priced award chart and many high-quality hotels in its portfolio, World of Hyatt can play an important role in your hotel loyalty strategy, even though it lacks a Canadian co-branded credit card.

In this video, I'll introduce you to the key things you need to know about World of Hyatt, including the award chart, the US-issued Chase Hyatt Visa, the elite status program, and Milestone Rewards.

I'll also talk about a few clever ways to maximize your Hyatt hotel stays as you build loyalty with them, such as unlocking extra benefits by booking through Hyatt Privé or earning free nights with the Hyatt Brand Explorer feature.

Finally, we'll finish off the video with a few shots from the impressive Alila Wuzhen resort, as well as the nearby Wuzhen water town from my recent trip.

Ricky I swear out of all the travel bloggers in YouTube, you are the most knowledgeable. I learn so much from your site. Thanks bro!

[nikolalevnaich]

Honest to Amun, I was binge watching Jeb Brooks vids today and I thought "hmm, haven't heard from Ricky in a while? 🤔" And then 2 hrs later this vid pops up in my YouTube feed! Great Work Ricky, love this Hyatt vlog!

Simply Amazing ! looking forward for the Hilton Series !

I appreciate your approach on honesty as you learn Hyatt. I am a Hilton loyalist ATM, but also a Chase UR guy. My focus has been Chase for airline miles (transfer partners) and my Hilton Amex Surpass for Gold status and a boat load of points for signup (200, 000). I'm now interested in exploring either Hyatt or Marriott for more options with Chase UR.

I have been to 烏鎮. Your video brings back memories. Great place. Mostly local tourists. I remember the hotel right inside the resort where you can look out the window into the river. I don't know if it's part of any chain but definitely in my radar for a future stay. One of the places worth returning to, along with 杭州. Looking forward to more travel videos (specially China).

Looks stunning! The river... WOW!! Have a wonderful trip :)

Just got a fast track promotion for 20 nights to get globalist, does nights booked with points count as they do with the brand explorer???

Just started with the world 🌎 of Hyatt card. Received a $300 statement credit. Staying at the new Thompson Hotel in Savannah later this year. Would love to see a comparison of the Hyatt brands.

I remember going to Wuzhen when I was a kid and we stayed at a small motel that was really dirty. Next time I go back to China, I'm definitely staying at the Alila! Thanks for the video and stay safe in China :)

So much value in this vid. And this property is beautiful too.

[SwiftyTravels]

What a great video! I’ve considered this program, however they dont have Hyatts in the towns I travel to for work.. so many excellent tips! And the scenery and music at the end is so lovely!! Have a great day!!

For me any my travel, I've been kept within the Fairmont portfolio. Because every hotel is an experience, a luxury experience to be sure, but man I love them.

[nopefoh]

the hotel looks beautiful. would like a longer form review after you've finished your stay, but definitely looks like something i'd consider adding to my hit-list whenever i can make it to China.

[rverma]

any news on when this offer might be updated.?
have been waiting as well for this one, not a big fan of the 2nd part of the bonus (2x pts on upto $15k spend). i will be under 5/24 in March & im deciding between this and the marriott bonvoy boundless (which unfortunately also just reduced the intro bonus)

[johnson-cao]

Oh boy finally u got released from quarantine…. Looks more handsome. Stay safe.

[mblakeborough]

Arent there restrictions for entering Shanghai?

[huachen]

Awesome video introduction for Alila. Was the free breakfast good ? I hope you enjoyed the sightseeing in Wuzhen water town. Thanks.
