How do you link your Aeroplan and World of Hyatt accounts?

Account linking is free and available online through the Aeroplan and World of Hyatt websites as of July 15, 2026. It is required for most benefits, including double earning with Aeroplan credit cards and complimentary Discoverist status.

How many Aeroplan points do you need for a free Hyatt night?

You need 25,000 Aeroplan points for a free night at a Category 1-4 Hyatt hotel, and 75,000 points for a free night at a Category 1-7 hotel.

Can you convert World of Hyatt points into Aeroplan points?

Yes, at a 2:1 ratio, starting at 5,000 points, then in increments of 1,000 points, without linking your accounts. However, we advise against this conversion: you give up at least half the value of your World of Hyatt points, while Aeroplan points are easy to earn in Canada.

Who can convert Aeroplan points into World of Hyatt points?

Only Aeroplan Elite Status members who have linked their accounts can convert Aeroplan points into World of Hyatt Bonus Points, at a 2:1 ratio. The minimum is 500 points, with a cap of 100,000 points per day and 250,000 points per week.

Which credit cards include World of Hyatt Discoverist status?

Premium Aeroplan cards include complimentary Discoverist status after account linking: the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card, the American Express Aeroplan Reserve Card, the American Express Aeroplan Business Reserve Card and the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card.

Are the 500 Aeroplan points per stay added to World of Hyatt points?

No. The 500 Aeroplan points per eligible stay replace World of Hyatt points: you choose which program you earn in. The World of Hyatt Bonus Points from Aeroplan credit cards, however, are earned on top of the card's Aeroplan points.

What do World of Hyatt members get from this partnership?

Discoverist, Explorist and Globalist members receive a CA$20 Air Canada flight credit every year after linking their accounts. They can also convert their points to Aeroplan and, later in 2026, register for challenges to fast-track Aeroplan Elite Status.
