Why does Hyatt’s FAQ state that the AAdvantage miles count towards elite status?
“After linking accounts, members who are elite in both programs can double their rewards on qualifying American Airlines flights and Hyatt hotels stays. AAdvantage® miles earned on qualifying Hyatt stays count towards elite status with AAdvantage®.”

That section of the post was incorrect. Points earning during Hyatt stays do count as Loyalty Points in the AA program. I’ve just corrected the piece. Thanks for reading!
