However, the new thresholds being what they are and significantly reduced business travel this year, I have no incentive to aim for Hyatt status. Consequently I have currently no revenue stays planned.
Hmm, doesn't Platinum become Discoverist? If you're a Diamond expiring in 2017 you become Explorist. All Platinums get the new lowest tier. They do mention that your activity for 2016 will count for your 2017 WOH status, so if you think that was adequate to make Exploder, you should be good.
