When hotels began their loyalty programs a lot more attention was paid to airline programs. Guests were regularly given the choice to each points with the hotel’s program or earn airline miles. Hilton made their name with the ‘double dip’ giving you both points and miles, you didn’t have to choose. Hotel programs have all grown up, and double dipping (earning styles) go away April 1.

Hyatt though is offering its own double dip with American AAdvantage through June 30. And it stacks with the current bonus promotion that runs through May 15.

Hyatt House and Hyatt Place stays completed between February 20 and June 30, 2018 earn 1000 American AAdvantage miles in addition to the regular points or miles that would be earned from the stay.

Hyatt Place Lobby

Registration is required by April 30th. You enter both your Hyatt number and AAdvantage number to register.

Award stays now count as eligible rates so if you’re using points you’ll still get 1000 AAdvantage miles. This bonus can be earned an unlimited number of times — once per stay, and only one room per stay.

I wouldn’t choose a Hyatt Place or Hyatt House because of 1000 extra American Airlines miles which I’d value at $15 but I’ll definitely take the miles — it’s worth registering just in case you wind up with a qualifying stay — for bookings I’d make anyway.

Hyatt does seem to be emphasizing stimulating demand for Hyatt House and Hyatt Place over other brands besides the new lifestyle acquisitions which are also getting plenty of love.
