Does anyone else think this the suite upgrade portion of the email was written in a weird way:
"This year, enjoy our gift...4 suite upgrade awards"
That implies to me that the suite upgrades is not a hard benefit of Globalist, going forward. Did anyone else read it that way...?

My email also said...
"Receive a free night in a category 1-7 Hyatt hotel or resort and 4 suite upgrade awards after staying 60 qualifying nights or earning 100,000 Base Points each calendar year. "
So this reads to me that I'm being gifted a category 1-7 hotel night and then I can earn one every year by re qualifying for Globalist every year...is that the way everyone interprets this?

No DSUs in the Globalist table. Scroll down to "More Rewards Await" and you see that it's an award for reaching 60 nights. Which then also unlocks the "qualify for Globalist for only 55 nights" benefit. Which, if you take advantage of that, doesn't get you DSUs.
Confused?

Question: the (4) club awards for Explorists...are they only valid at properties with a club lounge or can they be redeemed at any Hyatt (those without a lounge, for breakfast at least?)
I know it may be obvious to some that these are only valid at properties with a club lounge ... but to me the wording is just confusing and secretive.

So I am now an Explorist. I was a Diamond member last year. Interestingly I didn't stay the required 30 nights or achieve the required points to earn Explorist and yet here I am, Explorist. Happy to have it of course. I really enjoy Hyatt and it has moved up the rankings above IHG & Hilton as my backup provider to Starwood/Marriott. Explorist level helps keep that true. Without it, it would have remained a tertiary provider. So the move definitely helps send some room nights Hyatt's way.
Anyone else get a level they didn't achieve?

I had the same issue; e-mail said Explorist instead of Globalist. I called the Diamond line to ask, and the rep said (1) I will be "100%" Globalist based on what he can see in his system, and (2) he has heard lots of other people calling in to that call center about email showing the wrong status also.
My theory: maybe the e-mail was generated based on a date cutoff that was too early. I qualified for Diamond based on some stays that did not credit until January but counted for December.
Did you qualify late also?

OTOH, I have not received GP monthly emails since late 2012 so nothing new. I learn about GP promotions right here on FT.
