Hyatt Explorist Status for Sapphire Reserve Cardholders
Hyatt Hotels today announced an expanded agreement with Chase, building on the successful collaboration between Hyatt and Chase that rewards World of Hyatt cardmembers for stays across Hyatt’s global portfolio.
The two companies say that the expanded collaboration is expected to drive additional stays to Hyatt properties from other Chase cardmembers via Chase Travel and Chase Ultimate Rewards.
There’s also a new benefit that will launch next year. World of Hyatt Explorist status will be added as a benefit for top spending Chase Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business cardmembers beginning in the middle of 2026. This probably means that it will be added to the list of perks for those who spend $75,000 or more.
Hyatt says it will also continue to increase the number of luxury and premium brands, such as Park Hyatt and Alila, participating in The Edit by Chase Travel. Additionally, Hyatt plans to expand its card portfolio as Hyatt and Chase continue to grow their relationship, building on the success of its current co-branded credit cards – the World of Hyatt Credit Card and the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card.
