What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Caption By Hyatt Franchise Disclosure Document, Hyatt Corporation administers the "World of Hyatt" program. Through this program, members can accumulate points based on eligible spending at Hyatt Network Hotels and resorts across the globe. These Hyatt Network Hotels include Caption By Hyatt hotels, along with other lodging facilities that Hyatt, its affiliates, or their franchisees operate under the "Hyatt" name or other brands owned by Hyatt's affiliates.
The World of Hyatt program extends beyond just hotels; other hospitality-related services such as airlines and car rental companies also participate. Hyatt Corporation will also provide most of the Mandatory Services and Non-Mandatory Services to Caption By Hyatt franchisees. This interconnected network allows members to earn and redeem points across a broad spectrum of travel and hospitality experiences.
For a prospective Caption By Hyatt franchisee, this means that their hotel will be integrated into an established loyalty program managed by Hyatt Corporation. This can be a significant benefit, as it provides a built-in customer base of World of Hyatt members who may choose to stay at the franchisee's hotel to earn or redeem points. The franchisee benefits from the marketing and administrative efforts of Hyatt Corporation in managing the loyalty program, while also being responsible for upholding the standards and participating in the program as required by the franchise agreement.
