2. Does anything else billed to your room during a stay qualify for Hyatt base point credit besides spa treatments and dining? Alcohol? Excursions / activities? Kids club fees? Paid room upgrades? Anything else???
3. Regarding base point earning when not staying at the Hyatt - how will that work? For instance, if a spa is not directly affiliated with Hyatt (for example Park Hyatt Beaver Creek) would you have to be staying at the Hyatt and bill the spa services to your room to get base credit?
4. Would Globalist who doesn't make the 30n be softlanded to Explorist in 2018?
5. Terms & Conditions of the Lifetime Globalist program won't be available until March 1st, which leads me to believe there may be some surprises. Will there be any difference whatsoever between benefits or conditions between those who will be Lifetime Diamonds (Globalists) before March 1st and those who qualify after March 1st. I just don't understand why they can't be upfront with the terms and conditions now.
6. Can you please address the fact that it is so much harder for members from Europe to qualify under the new conditions (when it was already harder previously), due to the lack of Hyatt Place hotels and the generally small international footprint? Isn't it contradictory to call the new level Globalist, but to make attaining it mostly only possible for people who live in the USA?
7. Another question:
1) If an Explorist reserves two rooms and chooses to use a Club certificate, will guests staying in both rooms be given access to the lounge? If not, could the member choose to use 2 of the 4 club certificates so long as both rooms are reserved in the Member's name?
2) If a reservation is made using a combination of cash and the credit card anniversary night (for a multiple night stay) would the Explorist using a club cert only get access for part of the stay?
8. Would Explorist who doesn't make the 10n be softlanded to Discoverist in 2018?
