Okay so a few questions -

1) I’m guessing the 2k Next stay award would not be able to used in conjunction with a TSU since they are both awards, that’s why Hyatt specifically says they’re only usable at HP, HH and URCove which for the most part don’t allow TSU use. Correct?

2) It looks like now at 40 Nights they will no longer give the option for a $100 WOH Gift Card. I am guessing that this has less to do with it being a $100 Gift Card and more to do with it only being valid in the Americas. Am I correct? As they also have the FIND credit option at $150.

3) The 50 Night Milestone is offering 5k points or 2 TSU’s meanwhile the 40k Milestone is offering 5k points or 1 TSU. How does that make sense? (Same with 70-90).

4) As far as I know GoH has no limit on days so you can book say 8 nights for a GoH, with the new program you can only go up to 7 nights. Correct on both parts?

5) A 60 Night Globalist going forward would be limited to only 3 Guest of Honor bookings per year? Not including the Gifted 5 for 2024 as a soft landing.

6) Since the Guest of Honor Awards begin at 40 nights how does that work as non-Globalists would receive them as well? Could a non-Globalist then Gift a friend or their spouse a Globalist vacation?

Here are a few thoughts as well -

I think overall it’s a good thing, definitely good for the less than 1% who stay 100-150+ nights. I do think though that the Ultimate Free Night Award should’ve been at 100 Nights rather than 150. I do like the BOGO Miraval, but IIRC I’ve seen Miraval run a couple promos for a BOGO stay so it’s not amazing.

I definitely think the new 100-150 Milestones may attract some to move over to Hyatt which is was likely the goal.

The thing I think all Globalists will appreciate is being able to choose something other than Club Access Awards!
