Same here. Company has an agreement and is eligible (typical Silicon Valley based international IT with a gazillion world wide offices).
Did anybody receive an email so far? I was told by Hyatt Concierge on Twitter that I need to go through our travel department.
I can see the promo link on the intranet but it 404s.

Is it just me that isn't outraged that much by this offer since the qualification for Glob seems to require that you are currently an Expl (and so have a decent stay history)?
And you won't get any of the Glob benefits until you have stayed 20 nights?
It's a far better logic that handing out Diamond status as it was done last year....

However, it's still the case that anyone with an email address from one of the targeted companies can stay 20 nights rather than 60 and get Glob benefits, including upgrades at check in, which is an example of a zero sum benefit. I don't want to lose my upgrades to such people. I also don't like overcrowded lounges or seeing hotels cut back on lounge offerings because it's too expensive to offer free F&B to so many people.

Yup, that's my read too. I'm a current Explorer, at 25 nights so far this year, will only be able to get to 45 or so, and figuring it isn't really worth pushing to stay at hyatts. This challenge would work for me, as I could time my 90 days to get to almost 20 naturally and then add a couple of random extra nights. For someone in my position, this is actually good marketing, bc it will induce a few extra nights out me this year and keep me tied to Hyatt for at least one more year. And I'm currently at least something of a "real" customer and not a total fake status vulture (although not sure they'd agree). Too bad I work for the govt and won't be eligible.

From the T&Cs at https://world.hyatt.com/content/gp/en/elitetier.html
Explorist Trial: Upon registration, World of Hyatt members with standard membership or Discoverist status will receive a trial upgrade to Explorist status for 90 days (Explorist Trial Period). The trial will provide the member with the benefits of Explorist status, as set forth in the World of Hyatt program terms, provided that the member will not receive any Explorist Club Lounge Access Awards (as defined in the World of Hyatt program terms) as part of the trial. To maintain Explorist status through February 2019, member must complete at least ten (10) Tier-Qualifying Nights (as defined in the World of Hyatt program terms) at any participating Hyatt hotel or resort worldwide during his or her Explorist Trial Period. If member completes at least twenty (20) Tier-Qualifying Nights at any participating Hyatt hotel or resort worldwide during his or her Explorist Trial Period, member will receive Globalist status through February 2019. If member earns a new elite status through this offer, his/her new status will be applied within 7 business days of checkout of the stay during which (s)he completes the applicable requirement.

This move will fill the clubs after ex-Diamonds depart. If not, they'll start putting Globalist qualification tokens in boxes of Cracker Jacks.
Don't forget that in addition to overcrowded Clubs, suite upgrades without a TSU will remain scarce.

This leaves little doubt:
Globalist Quick-Qualify for Current Explorists: Upon registration, World of Hyatt members with Explorist status will have the opportunity to earn Globalist status through February 2019 by completing at least twenty (20) Tier-Qualifying Nights at any participating Hyatt hotel or resort worldwide within 90 days of registration.
With no status you can only apply for an Explorer trial (and my assumption is thoese two cannot be combined, but knowing Hyatt I' probably wrong).

The lounge issue is interesting because they'll also cut back with too FEW guests. If Regency Clubs become Ghost Towns, they are not going to put much money into a club where just a few people wander in.

Now that I think about it, this could have been planned from the beginning of WOH. They set a ridiculous number of stays to achieve the highest tier, knowing most people wouldn't even begin to hit it. Then once they are on track to have gotten rid of most of their highest tier individual customers, they institute a status match to attract what they are thinking of as easy money-- people on business stays with expense accounts from big companies. They'll also now know where those people work so they'll be able to dole out perks based on how much they're trying to get that company's business, or how hip they think the company is, or whatever. This explains a lot of the WOH marketing which had little substance but seemed trying to reposition Hyatt as an expense account hotel for young business travelers.
