Hyatt Gold Passport, which has now transitioned into the World of Hyatt program, includes several elite tiers that provide members with various benefits and rewards for their loyalty. The program has three primary elite status levels: Discoverist, Explorist, and Globalist.
The Discoverist tier is the entry-level elite status. Members achieve this after staying a certain number of nights per calendar year. Benefits at this level typically include bonus points on eligible stays, complimentary in-room internet, and a preferred room at check-in based on availability.
The next level is the Explorist tier. Members attain this status after completing a higher number of qualifying nights. Explorist benefits include all those available to Discoverists, plus enhanced bonuses on points, upgrades to preferred rooms, late check-out, and the option to use a club lounge at select hotels.
The highest tier is Globalist. To achieve this status, members need to meet a more substantial stay requirement. Globalists enjoy the most comprehensive benefits, including complimentary upgrades to premium rooms, access to club lounges, complimentary breakfast, and a sizable bonus on points earned.
Members can review more details about these tiers and the required nights for elite status on the official World of Hyatt program website, where they can also find benefits and additional program features.
