Hyatt and Delta to add dual-earn after American Airlines partnership

World of Hyatt elite members will earn Hyatt points on qualifying Delta tickets in qualifying fare classes under a partnership announced September 9, 2026. Delta Medallion members will earn miles on qualifying stays at participating Hyatt hotels. The companies described an exclusive long-term strategic loyalty collaboration covering commercial and elite frequent-flyer benefits.

The arrangement picks up after Hyatt's recently ended American Airlines partnership. Launch timing has not been published and full eligibility is still to be announced. More benefits are expected later this year. Dual-earn on flights is limited to qualifying Delta fare classes. Hotel-side miles apply only to qualifying stays at participating Hyatt properties.

Hyatt milestone awards currently tied to American Airlines may not last. Wait for published eligibility and launch dates, and use remaining American Airlines Hyatt milestone awards while they still exist.
