excited for 9 award nights in 5 different properties (4 countries) coming up next few months now to taste all the benefitsWelcome! You are going to LOVE being a globalist vs whatever Titanium gets you with Marriott these days (I'm batting 0% on upgrades since being a Titanium and have dealt with my bed preference not being honored)
Did you get your concierge yet? Thats my favorite part... 60 nights and you get someone who may be amazing or not (check the FT thread on it). My concierge is AMAZING and really simplifies your life
Also, remember TSUS are for stays up to 7 nights. It took a while to realize that with SNAs only being good for one night each SNA. This year I'll spend 20 nights in suites due to TSUs in Asia, Europe and for a wedding in the Northeast with my girlfriend

I rarely do more than 3-4 nights in a single location/hotel but have already been upgraded for a 3 night stay at the HR Churchill in Oct, which is sweet.
Saving ~$85/night in Boston in a few weeks with no parking/resort fee, so that is pretty awesome.

Looking forward to it! Yes my guy (EQ) already mailed me, very responsive, far more than my SPG/Marriott Ambassadors have been.

Thanks much!
I have LT Tit with Marriott so I only have ~7 nights there this year; my concentration has been Hyatt now that one can earn night credits with the credit card.
I've got 24 actual Hyatt nights this year (the other night credits are from the credit card) and should have ~20 more before the end of the year.
I also just made Hilton Diamond with credit card spend; only have ~5 creditable nights there so far this year.
Without LT Marriott status, I would have concentrated on that program and skipped Hyatt. My current travel doesn't support top tier with even one chain if not for credit card spend.

Just hit 60 nights on Wednesday. Still have a bunch of stays left. I’ve been a Diamond / Globalist ever since Hyatt gave every SPG Plat Diamond after the merger was announced. Was able to squeak in 25 stays the following year before going all in on Hyatt. That promotion and decision remains one of my best travel moves.

I just got my concierge email. I don't recall ever having a concierge when I was a Diamond.
Edit: formatting didn't work. I'll try to clean it up.

I’m quoting this poster because they have a screen shot that shows the top milestone at 55. Which is what I thought it was for 2019. Since the App update mine now shows 60 nights. I’m not concerned about reaching status because I have LT but was going to shoot for 55 to get the extra category 1-7 award but if I need to get to 60 it may not be worth it. So should it be 55 or 60?

"Lifetime Globalists automatically receive this award once per calendar year in March without the need to satisfy the Tier-Qualifying Night or Base Point earning requirements. Lifetime Globalists may earn one additional Category 1-7 free night award each calendar year by satisfying the Tier-Qualifying Night or Base Point earning requirements described here."

I see though that you also have the option to toggle between milestones and tier status - does that make a difference in what is displayed? I don’t have that obviously because I’m not trying to earn any tier status.

And mine used to say 55 until the update. Really weird. It should be the same for everyone right?
