Marriott Platinum is nowhere near the same as Hyatt Globalist.

I am definitely going to have to figure out where I stand in terms of retaining status and re-qualifying in 2024 though as I can no longer get a WOH card (bankruptcy) and I would usually “top off” about 10-15 nights annually via MGM stays.

I would really like to find a way to keep Globalist though, but it would be very difficult to do some MR’s living in SoCal where there’s no cheap properties. It’s really crazy even the HP in Tijuana is now a Category 2…
