1,000 Bonus Point Offer for Current Gold Passport Members

Hyatt Gold Passport members can now experience the improved functionality and innovative design enhancements of the new goldpassport.com. “We are excited to be providing Gold Passport members with a more personalized experience and greater online convenience,” said Amy Weyman, vice president of marketing for Hyatt Hotels Corporation. “Goldpassport.com allows Hyatt’s most loyal customers to better realize the benefits of Gold Passport membership.”

Beginning with the simplified login process, members will discover how goldpassport.com’s new back-end technology provides for personalized and convenient online account management. For example, once logged on, a comprehensive summary instantly provides members with account details, including point balance, membership level, last stay information and future reservations. Further, throughout members’ online experiences goldpassport.com delivers customized messages and offers based on member tier status, travel activity and personal travel preferences.

Gold Passport members can also utilize new functionality on the website to better plan their award travel. Using a new awards calculator, members can now easily compute how many points are needed for a specific award to their favorite destination. Additionally, Platinum and Diamond members can now redeem Passport Plus awards online to enjoy free nights, even when award inventory is sold out, for a 60 percent point premium.

Plus, now members can find special offers based on their interests and travel preferences using the “Special Offers” finder.
