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.
For whatever reason, my MLife account still shows Platinum status, so I tried this again today. Same thing happened: got an error message from Hyatt site saying my accounts were already linked, BUT also got a mail from WoH congratulating me on requalifying for Explorist.

When I logged back into WoH, my Explorist status remains until February 2019, but I now have another four upgrades added to my account ("12 Earned 2 Redeemed 10 Available"). The expiration date on the Club Upgrades still reads "Expiration Date Feb/28/2018".

I'll have to check after March 1st to see if my tier expiration date gets bumped ahead to 2020, and whether all remaining club upgrades actually disappear.
