Because of the win-win situation re. GoH certificates, I'm sure there will be no shortage of FTers willing to GoH other Hyatt bookings for active FTers such as yourself.

But ultimately you need to decide that you want to get to 55-60 nights in Hyatt hotels to get your Globalist back. Can't count on fast tracks until late 2024 at best.

So you have natural Globalist until end of February meaning you can book and stay normally as a Globalist would from 1/1 until then.

After that you’ll have 5 Guest of Honor Certificates you can use on yourself.

Let’s say you’re staying 15 nights between 1/1 and February 29th you then only need 45 nights left to hit Globalist, if you have the WOH card it’s then only 40.

You use the Guest of Honor Certificates each for stays of 5 to 7 nights meaning the average is 6. So 6 x 5 is 30 nights. Plus you get 1 EQN each time one is redeemed for a total of 5 EQN’s.

40 - 30 = 10 and 10 - 5 = 5

OR for no WOH card

45 - 30 = 15 and 15 - 5 = 10

Then if you’re staying just 5 to 10 nights in either HH, HP or SLH you don’t really have any tangible Globalist benefits anyways for the most part.

Then you’re at 60.

This is assuming there’s no challenge available, but there may be one. Anyways that’s how you’d be essentially getting Globalist benefits all of 2024.

Thank you so much, craigthemif and Matt4200.

If I had acted much earlier this year, besides spending the nights in bed, could I have put myself in a better situation to earn Globalist in 2024?
