Upgrading from Platinum to Explorist

People that qualified for Platinum status in 2017 are scheduled to be demoted to Discoverist level on March 1st.

However, Hyatt Platinum status currently matches to MLife Gold Status.

And, from March 1st, MLife Gold Status is set to match to...Explorist status.

I don't think that they thought this plan through very well...

I believe that's only possible for earned Gold from MLife.

I don't see anything on the MLife site mentioning this.

Hyatt account status matched to Diamond (some would say not "earned" Diamond) matched to MLife Platinum status just fine.

Why oh why did Hyatt rename their Loyalty programme to names that I cannot understand or remember?

Its doing my head in...
