AA is still marketing the possibility of Globalist status as a benefit in the CK welcome email, so this clearly isn't totally dead yet.
My Globalist status was extended another year shortly after Jan 31 when I rolled into "this year's" CK status. I had stayed maybe one or two nights in Hyatt properties last year so 100% sure it was CK-related.
EDIT: just now logged back into Hyatt to see that my status was
UN-extended. What had previously said Feb 28, 2023 now says Feb 28, 2022. So may be true about the discontinuation of the benefit. Logging in early this month to upgrade a reservation my Globalist status had just been extended, so I wonder when that decision was made.
