54 here. I'm actually worried about hitting it too soon since that will start the clock on my Cat 1-7 expiration. They really should time those to expire when your status expires or something else fixed so as not to penalize early qualifiers.

That’s what I tell people that once you have the status and the benefits it makes you push to maintain it because it’s much easier to stay when you get the upgrades and the comp breakfast and the bonuses.

For example -
Let’s say you have 40 nights by 12/31/22 and plan another 20 before the end of February 2023, those 20 nights would not get you Globalist, they would get you 1/3 of the way to 2024 status.

Any stays beginning in 2023 do not add in to your current count towards Globalist just so you know.

Planning a number of back to back stays in early 2023. It's possible my Globalist status might lapse briefly before I can finish all my stays in 2023.

Yes, definitely. Plus it lured me away from Marriott (LTP and current Titanium) and opened my eyes to what a better loyalty program can be like. I know i'm not even a blip on Marriott's radar, but that is ~15k they will lose out on this year. And I doubt I'm the only one. I wonder how many defectors it'll take for them to notice and maybe improve things over in bonvoyland, but that's a topic for another thread.

I was thanked profusely for my loyalty at a stay last week despite being a lowly Discoverist, and only earning that during the reduced requirements in 2020 (from one 5-night award stay) and having it automatically extended last year. I've got 3 nights so far in 2022, with only 6 more expected, so... Guess it was nice while it lasted.
