I am ABOUT to do a deep dive on the several page post linked above for this promotion, but three quick questions... (sidebar, amazing stories above, I would love a free night in Tokyo and I would also TOTALLY do something like moving around my parents or friends or loved ones daily)

• Someone has confirmed with Hyatt this plan will work, the whole, checking out in January counts double towards 2022 thing? That isn't quite how the language reads to me, earn for the stay and again in 2021, but obviously the stay would thus also end in 2021... ?
• Has anyone looked into which random cities are "Cheapest" right now? If not, would there be an easy way to do that, like the Google Explore feature or the now extinct Southwest map thing? With a mother at year 4 of ALS, an aggressive version too, I could see staying around GSP, South Carolina being most beneficial. But to be honest, 30 days in Mexico sounds nicer, even if it's that Tabasco place mentioned in the article.
• The Mexican option above when I looked into it was actually like 44 bucks a night, but every third night was 0, or free. Do those free nights still qualify for 1, or I guess 2, of the 30/60 nights required?

I have Explorist from a Caesars or MLife Vegas status match, and will have it again next year too, but research indicates Globalist is a much better end product? I plan to travel a lot of even become a digital nomad after mom passes, for now blowing stupid money on rent in Los Angeles where we can't do just about anything.
