Unless it’s for the general population, the target audience may not be who you think it is… might as well say the 20 night corporate globalist offer is a triple elite qualifying nights… this has been going on year over year.

I’ve seen also several promos from June through September in Asia, Europe, Middle East not just this one.
5k a year isn’t nothing and it’s definitely sufficient to hit Globalist every year. Average stay cost $75 per night x 60 nights per year that’s $4,500. That’s not even factoring points stays. From that $4,500 spend you’d earn 29,250 points (assuming 0 promos) that’s about 6 more nights at Cat 1’s.
My point wasn’t about attaining status it was about defining loyalty. Giving a company 5k a year every year for 5+ years is loyalty.
Think about Vegas if you stay 3 days a year and play 5k a year in those 3 days (5 hours a day). You earn significantly more comps, FreePlay and credit than someone who comes in spends 25k on 1 hand of blackjack even if that person loses. Why? Because they like your time, your loyalty.
I’ve actually asked several pit managers this because I’ve done $1,000 bets for 15 minute sessions and earn basically 0 points and 0 comps. Despite bribing 10k to the table I earn less than someone bringing $1,000 to the table who play for a couple hours. That’s the reality of it and that’s how they define loyalty.

I think it's pretty obvious that the regional double EQN promo is based on reduced travel demand and ability in that region. Whether accurate or not, Asia still has the perception of being more difficult to travel to and within based on restrictions.
I'm not ruling out a global double EQN promotion, but I seriously would bet that Hyatt and property owners would like to reduce the number of Globalists this year in order to cut benefit costs and improve the experience for 60-night Globalists (more upgrade availability).
At least in the US, people are traveling, promotion or not - Hyatt isn't going to incentivize people further.

As far as boosts even if one was offered the number of globalists would severely severely decline because many hit globalists with only 10-15 nights total.

Still, though, presumably, demand numbers need to be boosted in these environments based on Hyatt's analysis. No other reason for them to offer such a promo. It's also targeted, so there's probably some algorithm for incentives at play.

I don’t seem to get targeted for inclusion in Hyatt’s targeted promos. Not sure if Hyatt loses any stays from me because it excludes me so commonly, but it certainly doesn’t drive me forward to re-qualify faster from hotel stays.
Are you doing any manufactured spend on the Hyatt bank cards to rack up Hyatt status nights?

Oops, yes, you're right - Southwest Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Africa.

Just hit 28 EQN... I dont know, I have very little travel (only about 12-15 nights) rest of the year. I put a good chunk of spend on the Hyatt CC each year, might need to push that even more. Also just booked 2 separate 4 night stays at Excalibur in December at $21/night, just in case I get desperate.
Used to be a part (minority) owner in a Hyatt in Emeryville... those were better times !

My post said this was evidence that Hyatt is trying multiple tactics and seeing what works everywhere. So based on this promo, based on Q2/Q3 numbers that’s what formulates Q4 promos which could keyword could, not will, just could, allow for a double EQN promo in the US.
(self justification, I know).

Fairly easy to tell just from looking at the picture.
I wouldn’t consider it regional though.
To me even a U.S. only promo isn’t regional as there’s several very distinct regions and markets even within the US.
I’d consider this a semi-world promo as it encompasses more than a dozen countries.

The image doesn't load for me for whatever reason, anyway I don't think that a regional, targeted promo goes against what I said, which is that Hyatt is unlikely to need a global or North America promo given that North America and Europe, where most of the properties are, are already open.
