I was surprised when I saw the 2 Club Access Awards deposited in my account on Feb. 28, exp. 2/28/2021. This could only be for the 20 night milestone,YTD 23 nights. I then read the details of the Milestone Awards and indeed anyone regardless of status can earn these awards. The T&C also clarified that if you qualify for elite status tiers between 1/1/2019 and 2/28/2019, then you will receive the awards for the tier but no additional Milestone Award up to that level.

I read the T&C stating these upgrade awards are for personal use only and cannot be gifted, so technically Club Access Awards are then useless for Globalists. When I called Hyatt, I was told I can gift them. We'll find out when a Globalist tries to do this.

I see that a few Globs have now reported getting the Club Access awards. I'm at 26 nights YTD, and when I asked about the awards, I was told I wouldn't get them as a Glob. I'll cross 30 nights next week ... I wonder if I'll see 2 awards then ?
