I've not seen any change in my account yet, past Feb.2022, Last year we got renewed in January. I am hoping that 55 nights is enough to get renewed.

Can you share any relevant spend or night detail?

I'm actually non-ironically wondering if someone has invested in a hotel for status. I don't know much about hospitality but would be interested in investing sometime in the future.
At least it's easier than buying an airline for those perks.

Does anyone have any data point on "qualifying" without owning/managing a hotel?
Like in charge of a company travel budget? Or very high number of yearly or lifetime nights or points?

The only data point... An exec at a Park Hyatt I frequent told me the head of corporate booking in that country for their biggest client received Courtesy Card. This is a Fortune 20 company.
She said I should get a Courtesy Card but neither she nor I knew how.
I would like one but am already treated super well by most properties.

By the way, if you think sharing of benefits is bad with Globalists and the like, consider that there are owners (or their heirs to be) who “shared the wealth” by booking rooms for themselves but then let the “additional” guests ride on those benefits even in their absence.

Don’t recall if it was Hyatt or some other major hotel groups, but the owner-oriented statuses had some kind of cap on how many per property and/or per ownership company. Otherwise there could be who know how many “cousins” suddenly popping up. I thought it may also be the same way for some of the bigger corporate travel customers’ big whigs.

I've encountered a very noisy/chainsmoking male CC holder relation at PH Seoul before. The only ironic part was he had to make do with the Park Deluxe while I had the Diplomatic suite. The former GM could only apologize for that guest's behavior. If it was the CC holder himself, I believe our positions would have been reversed.

Anyways, in my research to write this post, I found a bunch of posts on biggerpockets, so I'm going to wander over there and see if anybody has done this dumb idea.
