Delta and Hyatt announce a new loyalty partnership

Review the terms
DeltaHyattStatus

Announced 9 September, the exclusive relationship launches in the coming months. At launch, Delta Medallion members are expected to earn miles on qualifying Hyatt stays and World of Hyatt elites points on qualifying Delta fare classes, with further eligibility and terms still to come.

Why it matters
