4. You plan to announce Globalist for Lifescheme this week?
We will announce the new Lifetime program March 1st with the launch of World of Hyatt.
I don't know if this is yet another example of how poorly thought out this new program is, or a further indication of how bad the new program will be ...
For me, and I suspect at least a few others here, the lifetime program is the only thing keeping us from abandoning Hyatt completely. I'll be about 90% of the way to today's lifetime Diamond by the end of the year (if I don't cancel my current reservations), but I definitely won't cross that threshold by 28 Feb. I was counting, based on the Facebook responses last week, to get some indication of what the new lifetime program looks like this week. Seeing now that nothing is coming until next March just seems like another push from Hyatt to find another program now.
