Hyatt Cat 1 Mattress Run: $45/Night for 5,000 Points

Year-end approaching and you are 8 nights short of Globalist? Hyatt Category 1 properties are your best friend. At $45 per night, you can buy your way to 60-night Globalist status for roughly $360 in mattress runs.

The Math

Globalist requires 60 qualifying nights. If you are sitting at 52, you need 8 more. Category 1 Hyatt properties in secondary markets regularly price at $45 to $65 per night. Eight nights at $50 average costs $400 to secure a status worth approximately $2,000 to $5,000 in upgrade value over the following year.

Is It Worth It?

If you travel more than 20 nights per year with Hyatt, Globalist pays for itself in suite upgrades alone. The confirmed suite upgrade benefit and Club lounge access make the $400 mattress run investment look trivial.
