American and Hyatt sever loyalty ties as Delta steps in

American Airlines and Hyatt are ending their enhanced loyalty partnership, a move that coincides with the launch of a new exclusive alliance between Hyatt and Delta. While the termination of reciprocal points earning in late 2024 had already diminished the partnership's value, the final split removes status fast-track opportunities and cross-program redemption options. Members have until November 15, 2026, to link accounts for final benefits, after which only basic mile accrual remains.
