• This will apply to those with Tier Club collection end dates in July 2020 through June 2021

In addition they are reducing the amount of tier points needed by 25%, the new tier requirements will be as follows:

Hawaiian Airlines

 

Hawaiian Airlines has sent out an e-mail to loyalty members announcing a number of measures due to COVID-19:

• Elite status will be extended through February 2022
• Requirements for earning elite status in 2020 will be reduced by half
• Credit card certificates (50% off, $100 off companion certificates) that are due to expire on or before August 2020 will be extended until December 31st, 2020

IHG

 

Membership Status:

•  
• All members’ program status will be automatically extended through January 2022, allowing members to enjoy all the benefits of the status they earned during 2019.
  •  
  • For Spire Elite members this includes the Choice benefit of 25,000 bonus points or gifting of Platinum Elite status to someone each year
  •  
  • This change will be automatically reflected in member accounts in the coming weeks.

 

With more constrained travel plans and a shorter time period during which members can earn Elite tier status, we have reduced the criteria required (nights or points) this year by 25% or more meaning members can still qualify for a higher tier during 2020:

• Cancellation fees are waived for existing and new bookings at all IHG hotels globally for all stays before April 30th, 2020.
• Elite requirements will be reduced by 25% or more (see revised 2020 criteria)

Southwest

 

Southwest status and companion pass extensions:

https://www.southwestaircommunity.com/t5/Blog/A-Message-to-our-Rapid-Rewards-Members/ba-p/105891

 

• For our current A-List and A-List Preferred Members, we are extending your current earned status through December 31, 2021.
• For our current Companion Pass Members, we are extending your current earned Companion Pass benefits through June 30, 2021.
• For all Rapid Rewards® Members, we recognize that your normal flying behavior has been interrupted, limiting progress you may have been making toward qualification for A-List, A-List Preferred, and Companion Pass.  For that reason, we are giving all Rapid Rewards Members a “boost” of 15,000 tier qualifying points and 10 flight credits toward A-List and A-List Preferred status, and 25,000 Companion Pass qualifying points and 25 flight credits toward Companion Pass status.

Marriott

 

4/8/2020 @skyteam 님 제보, 감사합니다!!

 

메리엇 티어 연장해줍니다. 4월 8일에 코로나 관련 내용 업데이트했네요.

• 현재 티어(2019년 실적을 기준으로 획득한 것) 2022년 2월까지 제공
• 그외에 포인트 만료 2021년 2월까지 유예.
• SNA 유효기간 2021년 12월 31일까지 연장
• FN 올해 만료될 예정인 것들은 2021년 1월 31일까지 연장.(중국/홍콩/마카오/대만은 만료일으로부터 12달 연장)

 

• Status Extension: We want you to be able to enjoy the status that you earned in 2019. With that in mind, the status you earned in 2019 will be extended to February 2022.
• Points Expiration: To provide you ample time to redeem points, the expiration of points will be paused until February 2021. At that time, your points will only expire if your account has been inactive for at least 24 months.
• Suite Night Awards (SNAs): We have extended the expiration of suite night awards by one year from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021.
• Free Night Award (FNA): Members who currently have an active Free Night Award (FNA) expiring in 2020 as part of their credit card benefit, annual choice benefit, promotions or travel package will be able to use it through January 31, 2021. (Exception: Members in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan the Free Night Awards will be extended 12 months into 2021 from the date of expiration).

매리엇에서 힐튼처럼 티어 연장은 아니지만 크레딧 카드로 받는 15 나잇 크레딧을 30 나잇 크레딧으로 올려 주었습니다.

다들 계정 확인해보시고 알려주세요

 

*추가 -

본보이 개인 카드에서 15박 + Business 카드 홀더 대상으로만 15박을 추가로 더 받는다고 합니다.

 

The terms of the Marriott Bonvoy Business Amex state the following now:

A maximum of 15 Elite Night Credits will be provided per Marriott Bonvoy Member Account, unless you have both a small business Marriott Bonvoy Card account and a consumer Marriott Bonvoy Card account; then, you may receive a combined maximum of 30 Elite Night Credits (15 per Card account). This benefit is not exclusive to Credit Cards offered by American Express.

That means that if you have a personal and small business Marriott card, you could now earn 30 elite nights per year.

 

Marriott now lets members earn up to 30 elite nights per year

I logged into my Marriott Bonvoy account this morning and noticed I had 33 elite nights. That surprised me, since the number should have only been 18:

• I received 15 elite nights through the Marriott credit card benefit at the beginning of the year
• I’ve earned three elite nights through actual stays

Alaska

 

 

Current status will be extended: Members with status in 2020 will have that status last through the end of 2021.

 

Trial status from elite challenges is being extended, too: Anyone who enrolled in an elite status challenge from December 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020 will have their trial elite status extended through the end of 2021. Wow.

 

Credit card companion certificates will be extended: any companion certificates expiring in 2020 will be extended to December 31, 2020, allowing travel to be ticketed through November 26, 2021.

 

There will be bonus mile opportunities for top elites: Alaska’s MVP Gold 75K members usually earn 50,000 bonus miles on achieving that tier. Having their 75K status extended won’t come with 50,000 additional bonus miles, but there will be information “in a few weeks” on “how 75K members can earn additional bonus miles for travel this year.”

 

There will be additional qualifying mile opportunities. Alaska doesn’t plan to reduce their qualifying thresholds, as United did. Instead they plan to offer “ways you can earn additional elite-qualifying miles this year.” It’s not clear whether those will be ‘double qualifying miles promotions’ (as they did already early in the crisis) or whether there will be qualifying mile opportunities for things other than flying (as Air Canada is offering).

3/31/2020에 expire되는 호텔 티어를 2/28/2022까지 연장해줬다는 이메일이 나간다고해요. (계정에 4월 15일 전까지 적용)

확인하시고 알려주세요~

 

Got an email update from Hyatt. Whatever your status was on 3/31/2020 will be extended to 2/28/2022.

 

New update from Hyatt 4/3:

• Status and benefits will be extended for all existing elite members without having to re-qualify. This means that whatever your status was as of March 31, 2020 – whether Discoverist, Explorist or Globalist – it will be automatically updated to reflect a February 28, 2022 expiration date. All elite tier extensions should be reflected in members’ accounts no later than April 15, 2020.

• All unused Free Night, Suite Upgrade or Club Lounge Access awards with expiration dates between March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 will be extended to December 31, 2021. This includes existing awards and awards that may be earned throughout this year with a 2020 expiration date. The award extension will be generated by World of Hyatt – members do not need to take action. Awards that expired between March 1 and March 31, 2020 will be replaced with new awards on April 20, 2020. All other qualifying, unused awards will be updated by the 20th day of the month in which the award would have originally expired.
