In addition, twice in the last 12 months, I have tried to use a free night cert by tacking it onto a paid business trip and have been unsuccessful. They are not as easy to use as advertised because the properties are limiting their use through inventory management schemes, at least in Asia. I've not tried to use any in the US.

Explorist:
"Receive 4 Club lounge access awards redeemable at participating Hyatt hotels and resorts at the time of reservation. Enjoy continental breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres daily in a Club lounge. (valid for one year from issuance when paying an eligible rate or when redeeming points for a free night award)"
Does anyone know if these awards are valid on C+P reservations as well? Thanks.

Put me in the confused camp.
I did not hit Diamond in 2016 - travel patterns didn't work in my favor. But boy howdy earned 29 stays so far this year, and Hyatt has awarded me Diamond through Feb 28 2019 (says so in my account!).
Yesterday received email announcing my "Explorist" status effective 3/1/17.
Argh. What a mess.
Ultimately it's not going to change the trajectory of my life, but you kinda wish your vendors had their **** together.
Good thing I like Hyatt. We'll see how long that lasts.

Same here. Diamond through 02/28/19 but received email that I have the Hyatt card and have Discoverist status. I assume they will go in manually to switch to Globalist since status was just earned in 2017
Mobile App shows Diamond through 02/28/19

I've opted into everything multiple times. I've even disenrolled and then enrolled again a few times. I still don't get statements or any valuable emails from Hyatt. I gave up on getting the type of email you got a while ago - that top notch IT team at Hyatt is the best ever.

Also have a 2 night at the HR Waikiki (only a Cat 5), but again, would like to throw a DSU at it making it not possible to use the Cat1-7 cert...
Grrr

It isn't a benefit of Globalists.
Check out https://goldpassport.hyatt.com/conte...-benefits.html
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?

"Enjoy a free night in a category 1-7 Hyatt hotel or resort and 4 suite upgrade awards each year." And there is no mention of it being a "gift".

Despite what was predicted, I'm still a bit surprised that Hyatt is giving the annual cat 1-7 cert to Lifetime Diamonds. The four DSUs were part of the current lifetime program, so they shouldn't have been discontinued. Also, to the extent that Lifetime Diamonds had or could have had private line agents, the commitment to providing My Hyatt Concierge seems fair to me.

Maybe not. Hyatt may end up getting bought out sooner than later. Investors didn't seem to be too impressed with the latest earnings call.

Even if Hyatt is sold, that doesn't mean it's "loyalty" program is going away.
