If Globalist is no longer top tier status the benefits will dilute rapidly and they may even decide to make it easier to qualify. This is why Hilton Lifetime Diamond / Marriott Lifetime Platinum etc aren’t that compelling.
I agree. With the disappearance of lounges in the US and the lack of upgrades, Marriott Lifetime Platinum's value is severely diminished. You know there's going to be a spend limit though--Hyatt suddenly decided to copy Marriott after all.
