I guess the loss of the 55-night thing is some downside, but with it being announced the same year as the new credit card, it seems pretty reasonable. Making the status too easy to achieve is one thing that will absolutely lead to devaluation. This is probably a good change for the long-term health of the program.
Globalist soft-landings may be getting a lot harder soon, even as I expect Hyatt will be opening the flood gates to a lot more status matches/challenges/giveaways for Explorist and even Globalist status. Just a matter of when.
