World of Hyatt’s Milestone Rewards program offers perks for every 10 elite qualifying nights that members earn in a calendar year, all the way from 10 nights to 150 nights. The Milestone Rewards perk that has historically been the least valuable is club access awards. However, thanks to these certificates being transferable nowadays, they’re certainly more useful than in the past. Let’s cover the details.
It’s possible to earn up to four club access awards per year:
- At 20 elite nights or 35,000 base points, you can select two club access awards
- At 30 elite nights or 50,000 base points, you can select two club access awards
There’s an opportunity cost to selecting these awards, so be sure to read my guide to the Milestone Rewards program.
How do you go about transferring your club access awards to others? Just log into your World of Hyatt account, click on the “Awards” section, and then you’ll see your club access awards listed.
If you want to transfer your award to someone else, click the three dots next to the award you want to transfer, and click “Gift Your Award.” Then enter the last name and World of Hyatt number of the person you want to transfer the award to, and then it’ll be instantly deposited in their account.
Then when you actually want to redeem a club access award (whether earned directly or transferred), just log into your World of Hyatt account, and go through the process of making a booking. When you get to the page that lists rates, you should see the ability to apply a club access award. This of course assumes that the property has a club lounge available.
