I agree re: the latter, but that's probably part of the problem right now. How many Globalists actually spent 60 nights in a Hyatt last year, at anything resembling normal rates, compared to the masses of blog readers who "mattress ran" Globalist using cheap rates and the 2x nights promo?

I wouldn't be surprised if a Cat 1-8 cert is created next year, or becomes a Milestone Reward at some number above 60, when the Globalist ranks are thinned, assuming Hyatt doesn't lower the threshold again or offer a 2x nights promo.
