It's not about chasing status, as I've never had to "chase" status. Organic stay / spend has always gotten me there comfortably. It's about the value of the status I'm earning. Sure, LTG is certainly "valued" more than Globalists (and Globalist-lite, if the reports are to be believed from this card). But it's about the trend, not about the immediate impact. "Boiling the frog", so to speak.

I'm sure Bonvoy Ambassadors didn't think their status would become less worthwhile at the start. Yet, it has become not worth the churn.

I'm simply expressing my intent to get ahead-of-the-curve. I'm relatively new to this - I started the loyalty journey less than a handful of years ago. And in that short time, I've gotten about halfway there to LT Globalist. If Hyatt continues to devalue the program and status and goes in the way of Bonvoy, it doesn't makes sense to spend a majority of my spend with Hyatt moving forward. I'll get ahead of the curve and start seriously exploring other brands/specific hotels.
