When I relogged into WoH, my Explorist status was extended to 2019, and four more club upgrades were added to my account, expiring one year from today.

EDIT: Scratch that. Looks like all club awards expire Feb 28, 2018.

Shame there's no MLife status that maps to Glob.
It looks like this is a bug in how the website displays your info. I did the Mlife to Hyatt match a couple of weeks ago and all of my Club Access awards appear to expire on Feb 29 on the website, but I just successfully applied one for a stay next May, I assume one of the 4 newly issued ones that were valid for 12 months from when I matched the status recently.

So given the policy of club access awards being valid for 12 months from when you earn them, it is worth thinking carefully about when to do this.
