One of the most valuable perks of being a Hyatt Globalist is the ability to share the benefits with others through Guest of Honor (GOH) awards. As a frequent traveler who maximizes points and status benefits, I’ve found these awards to be incredibly useful—especially when planning trips for my family.
This May, my son is graduating from USC, and we’ll be celebrating in Los Angeles with a stay at the Hotel Figueroa, conveniently located in Downtown LA. Naturally, I booked my own room where I’ll enjoy my usual Globalist perks, but I also needed three additional rooms for my other kids, my sister and her husband, and my mom. Booking the rooms on points was easy since I always have access to Hyatt points thanks to my ability to transfer from flexible programs like Chase Ultimate Rewards and Bilt.
However, my goal wasn’t just to book their rooms—I wanted them to have the same top-tier Globalist benefits I enjoy. Free breakfast alone can be a major cost saver, especially when covering five extra people for three days. That’s where Hyatt’s Guest of Honor awards came in handy. By applying a GOH award to each of their rooms, they’ll now receive the full Globalist treatment, including complimentary breakfast, late checkout, and potential room upgrades.
Speaking of upgrades, while I hope they enjoy their enhanced accommodations, if there’s only one suite upgrade available, let’s be clear—I’m claiming that for myself first! Priorities, right?
Hyatt’s Guest of Honor awards truly enhance the experience for family and friends, making milestone events like graduations even more special. The ability to extend these elite perks ensures that everyone enjoys a luxurious stay while maximizing the value of my Globalist status. If you’re a Hyatt Globalist, don’t overlook the power of these awards—they’re a game-changer for group travel!
