SanDiego1K I'm in the same predicament as you! Wanting to use 2 x $200 Amex credits for prepaid FHR or HC bookings but realize YMMV with the Globalist recognition, etc.

I'm curious if there's any datapoint around the pre-paid HC bookings and receiving Globalist benefits? I'm mostly interested in waived resort fees, using up expiring TSU's, and lounge access (in the case of GH Playa Del Carmen).

I'd hate to waste 2 x $200 credits but I guess alternatively I can book a few nights at other hotels in Mexico while we're down there OR book something pre-paid for next year since the TOC state that you just have to make a booking by 12/31 to receive the credit but not actually stay.

Anyone else in a similar situation or have data on the HC properties vs. FHR?

Thank you!
