AAdvantage® program updates
New AAdvantage® member benefits
Travel is better as an AAdvantage® member, and we’re always working to evolve our program to bring you more. Here’s what’s coming throughout the year and in 2025, with more to come.
Enjoy World of Hyatt benefits and rewards
You can unlock rewarding travel experiences not only in the skies, but also on the ground with World of Hyatt.
Starting in 2025, link your World of Hyatt and AAdvantage® accounts to enjoy:
- New Loyalty Point Rewards: Unlock World of Hyatt status and Free Night Awards at several levels.
- Enhance with Miles opportunities: Redeem miles for World of Hyatt Free Night Awards.
Update for linked status members
With our relationship's expansion, the ability for linked status members to earn AAdvantage® miles and Hyatt Bonus Points at the same time will be ending soon.
Linked status members continue to earn both AAdvantage® miles and Hyatt Bonus Points on:
- Qualifying Hyatt stays completed by December 31, 2024
- Eligible flights departing on or before December 31, 2024
In 2025, you can still choose to earn AAdvantage® miles on Hyatt stays and convert World of Hyatt points to miles. Plus, Hyatt status members can unlock travel rewards on American as part of the World of Hyatt loyalty program.
Starting in March 2025, you can unlock World of Hyatt Discoverist status at the 100,000 Loyalty Point Reward level. As you unlock higher Loyalty Point Rewards, you can choose World of Hyatt Explorist status or Free Night Awards as your reward choice.
