Last year, I went all-in on Hyatt.
For years, I'd watched TPG colleagues consistently get outsized value from World of Hyatt Globalist status — from suite upgrades to free breakfast and late checkout. That, combined with a year of heavy travel ahead, made it feel like the right time to go for it.
Getting to Globalist wasn't cheap: I redeemed hundreds of thousands of Hyatt points, spent over $1,000 out of pocket on stays and strategically used a cobranded Hyatt card to help bridge the gap.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
