Conclusion
So, this was a reciprocal match for Hilton and Delta elite members.
Unfortunately, they don’t offer reciprocal earnings for flights and stays that Hyatt and American still have place until the end of the year.
United and Marriott, American Airlines and Hyatt have partnerships, while Accor has partnered with Air France – KLM, Qatar, and Qantas.
