I would have expected some promo or fast track but its their game 😀
Despite MGM offer to match to MGM gold as Hyatt explorist and globalist, majority didnt even go to Vegas but just use it for 100% ghost stay to get to globalist cheaply, so what's your point ?

P.S. in case you ask why I said majority were using MGM for ghost stay, if you remembered, toward the end of the partnership in 2023, MGM completely blocked anyone from doing mobile checkin for Excalibur and Luxor as long as those who made the reservation have their Hyatt and MGM accounts linked, they were very well aware these ghost stay people never step foot in Vegas because mobile checkin was allowed. That's why Hyatt and Rio make sure the new partnership wouldn't make the same mistake again to allow status matches or mobile checkin, and MGM make sure the new Marriott partnership don't allow Marriott elites to match to any status with MGM
