25 Stays in Jan-Feb to attain Globalist?
Anyone considering giving this a shot? Seems worth it to have globalist status through 2019.
I've been thinking about a road trip anyway.

Absolutely not worth doing it if you're one of those that qualify based on stays. I'd look into a different program and inquire whether or not they offer some challenge or match.
On that note, my friend wrote into Marriott and was given Silver status (he's Diamond).

^ I've done more than a few mattress runs in the last 15 years. This looks like a no-brainer to me ... not worth it. Especially since one is chasing 2018 elite status at the very beginning of 2017.

Hyatt is abandoning it's great Gold Passport program on March 1, 2017, and replacing it with World Of Hyatt. The new high tier will require up to THREE times as many nights. Because January and February are still under Gold Passport, you can qualify for 2017 Diamond in those two months, which carry over to 2018 and through Feb 28, 2019.

If you can do 25 stays in 2 months, 60 nights in a year really shouldn't be an issue... (why be Globalist if you aren't even going to use your DSUs for up to 28 of the 35 additional nights you would need for a standard 60)
It might seem like a fun hack, but you might need to actually do the 60 nights to get 2018 DSUs, the free night certificate, etc.
