Is there a limit to the number of “Guest of Honor” reservations you can make for others as Globalist?
Can you have 2, 3, 4, more going simultaneously? Same hotel ok or different hotels, etc.? Annual limit?
Thanks.

I think it is noteworthy to remind 2018 Globalists who qualified from Hyatt Gold Passport Diamond via a year-end promotion will have to stay 60 nights to re-qualify for 2019, not 55.
The re-qualification rules define that 55 nights is the threshold for Globalists who stayed 60 nights the year prior! I'm pretty good at picking up the fine print, but almost missed this one.
Just spoke with a World of Hyatt manager over the phone to emphasize that this clause may have been missed by many current Globalists who re-qualified under the year-end promotion last year, when Hyatt doubled the top-tier qualification.

I haven't had 4 people staying simultaneously but I've definitely had that many reservations on the books (and at different hotels).

Newbie (Oldbie?) questions.
Fact pattern:
Questions:
-
Fact pattern:
- As it happens, I haven't stayed with Hyatt in years and years -- long enough for my account to go dormant. (I haven't had to be a road warrior in some years, and my sporadic business trips haven't been Hyatt.) I still know my old account, but I can't log into it, etc. -- looking back at some old AwardWallet emails, it looks like it expired sometime in 2016 or 2017.
- I have an upcoming stay for several nights at the Park Hyatt Sydney. This stay was booked through a full service TA (not an OTA, in fact, a Virtuoso etc.)
Questions:
- Is the Park Hyatt stay credit-eligible, or even if it's not, is there any benefit in associating it with a loyalty account?
- Is there any benefit (if it's even possible) in attempting to recover my ancient Hyatt account? (E.g. lifetime stays, member since, etc.?) Unlikely I had a lot of stays; Hyatt wasn't usually on my patterns, but certainly there were some. (I realize any points are long-gone; that's fine.)

depending on status, you should get upgraded upon check-in if available.

Newly minted globalist from a corporate status match...Unfortunately the majority of my stays for work will be at Hyatt Place...what can you expect as a globalist at the bare minimum hotels? Just the bottle of water? It seems like Globalists don't get any welcome amenity or any type of status recognition guarantee? Transferred over after the fluster cuck that the Marriott SPG merger has been. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Depending on where you are traveling, you may get a larger room on a higher floor. But this only applies to HP's outside the US, e.g. Dubai, London, where they actually do have a variety of rooms.
but in the US... nada.

Thank you @59Impala for answer to the previous question.
I may have a business trip coming up and trying to get confirmation if I will get points & night credit if I don't stay for the weekend on a two weeks reservation. For example, the reservation is from 10/17 to 10/30 but I will not be staying at the hotel physically for 10/20 - 10/21. Thanks in advance.

I have done that before as well, when switching hotels over a period of one week, but did not want to check in and out every time.

I don't think there's any limit. There is no stated annual limit, though since you can only do them for points bookings, it's limited by your ability to generate points.
I haven't had 4 people staying simultaneously but I've definitely had that many reservations on the books (and at different hotels).

Great to hear that. Also do you think it would be wise to double dip by booking through the Costco Travel portal to get the 2% cash back on top of the other Hyatt points & rewards? Only reason why I am asking this is because I saw this while booking for a trip through the Costco Travel portal:
