We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

I’m Encouraged: Hyatt Adds Another Starwood Executive to Help Lead Their Loyalty Program

    Last month, I told you about Starwood’s former senior vice president, Mark Vondrasek, being hired as Hyatt’s global head of loyalty.

    Now, we’ve learned that Hyatt has hired ANOTHER former Starwood executive to its World of Hyatt program.  And because most folks love the Starwood’s loyalty program, this could point to great things with Hyatt!

    I Love Staying at Hyatt Hotels. And I Think It Will Benefit From Having Former Starwood Preferred Guest Executives Behind the Scenes!

    Link:   Will Hyatt’s Loyalty Program Soon Adopt Valuable Starwood Traits?

    Hyatt has drafted former Starwood senior vice president of consumer insights, Amy Weinberg, as the senior vice president of the World of Hyatt program.

    Weinberg was previously responsible for leading global analytics, market research and customer relationship management functions at Starwood.  And according to Mark Vondrasek, her boss and the now global head of loyalty, Amy Weinberg’s assignment will be to “identify with our guests and understand their needs.”

    Hyatt is already my favorite hotel chain.  They have incredible hotels all over the world, and their points go further than most other hotel points.  But I love the Starwood program, too!  So I’m excited to see the benefit of the minds behind Starwood running World of Hyatt.

    You can read my post with hope-filled speculation here. 😉

    Bottom Line

    Hyatt now has another former high-ranking Starwood executive working for its loyalty program!  Amy Weinberg, who spent 12 years intimately involved with the Starwood’s loyalty program, is now the senior vice president of World of Hyatt.

    Here’s hoping the World of Hyatt program continues to improve, and adopts a few positive traits from Starwood, too!
