Hilton Honors members can use their points to bid on a private makeup session with Patrick Ta, a “makeup maestro” to Hollywood stars. Whoever bids the most points can bring a guest to learn hot tips on how to look red carpet-ready at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and enjoy a meet-and-greet and photo opportunity with Ta.
News you can use: World of Hyatt
From now until November 30, World of Hyatt members can earn double points at Mr & Mrs Smith hotels this month when booking a stay through Hyatt after registering for this promotion. Bonus points are eligible on any stay through Christmas Eve, at boutique and luxury properties all over the world—from New York to Bali and everywhere in between—now that Hyatt has added more than 800 participating properties, many of them independent gems, to its portfolio.
Additionally, to celebrate a new partnership, Hyatt members who link their memberships to their Peloton accounts can earn 100 points for doing a workout at least 20 minutes in length while using Peloton equipment at participating Hyatt hotels. You can earn up to 1,000 points per month—that’s a maximum of 12,000 extra points each year.
Finally, the program’s FIND Experiences portal lets you redeem points for unique meals, sporting events, or concerts. For example, there’s a just-released foodie event with French chef and restaurateur Ludo Lefebvre on offer at Thompson Denver. The package, which can be booked entirely with points or a mix of points and cash, includes overnight accommodations, a four-course dinner, and a meet-and-greet with the chef. (It’s the first of several in the Taste of Thompson Chef Series.)
News you can use: American AAdvantage
New perks are available for American AAdvantage and World of Hyatt members who link their accounts and reach certain spending thresholds within either program. For example, World of Hyatt Milestone Rewards are now redeemable for American Airlines seat upgrades and airline elite status. And if you reach certain AAdvantage Loyalty Point thresholds, you can redeem those awards for free nights at World of Hyatt properties.
Unfortunately, it is not all good news though. Starting next year, American AAdvantage and World of Hyatt will no longer offer reciprocal mileage and point earning for elite status members who do business with either travel brands, which was a lucrative perk for several years.
That said, American AAdvantage members should check the promotions tab in their account for a new offer that awards a variable number of bonus miles for activating the deal, booking and flying a set number of premium economy or business class tickets before December 19. For example, one current offer is to earn 20,000 miles for taking four eligible flights, but your offer may vary.
