It is my guess Hyatt is giving these promos out because their total Glob footprint is down since Covid. Either way, even if the Bilt Globs remain, they aren't the same competition as butt in bed Globs since they don't stay as often.
I feel like there’s a lot missing here.
1) For many people once they’ve experienced it themselves they push to continue it. A lot of psychologists call it the “First Class Effect”. Where once someone sits in first class it’s exceedingly difficult to go back to economy, the same can be said with Globalist I believe.
2) Going from 0 aka “Member” to Globalist is brutal. It’s significantly easier to go from Globalist at 0 nights to retaining Globalist with 60 nights, if that makes sense. Basically the 60 nights stayed to retain status would be much more enjoyable and easier to do since you already receive those benefits rather than doing it with no status and trying to get to Globalist for the first time.
3) I think challenges will remain (or double EQN promo) a major factor for loads of Globs in the Bilt promo was cheap MGM stays, that’s no longer available so Hyatt has more incentive to try again.
This is not to say it’ll detract, just a few points I thought worth mentioning.
