Considering only HRs and GHs have Club Lounges, while Andaz's and PHs don't, I think the Explorist benefit is pretty useless. I'd love to see them allow those 4 free passes to be used the same way Globalists get it which also would reduce confusion and make the Explorist status slightly more meaningful. Giving a free breakfast when people value it most (likely on vacations) can help make up for the fact that qualifying for Globalist is so much more difficult now.
Agreed - that was a very messy distinction, and it basically means no benefits for middle-tier members outside of hotels with clubs. So, for me, I care about Globalist or nothing at all. The mid-level tier (still confused on the name) won't help me much - unless I'm in Hong Kong.
