As of today...How far are you from requalifying?
I am halfway there at 30/60, i have 10 more nights planned solid. I then plan on the last 20 nights to be in Q4 so that I don't cross the 60 night threshold too early.
This will probably be my last year with Hyatt, will move on to SPG/Marriott and Hilton next year.

Not close ! 12/60 with reservations for 8 more nights. I'm sure I'll add more throughout the year, and should end up with 30-40 nights. I'll supposedly get "soft landed" to e-ist, so my total this year probably doesn't matter, but Lifetime status is within reach and I'll continue to stay at Hyatts when it makes sense. Unfortunately, that's happening less and less as I moved a stay for tonight from a HH to a HGI and saved almost 50%.

8 cash and points nights. Will use up the rest of my points and upgrades by July and say a fond farewell to Hyatt.
Last year I did 25 nights from April to June and got the 75,000 point bonus. This year, with no similar promo and the changeover to WoH, my life will be in a World Without Hyatt very soon.

I have zero. I will do a mattress run next month, and have 13 nights upcoming. So that will leave me at 14 nights by July.
I'm not sure if I will make it to 60 this year. I was close last year.

LOL, 56 away. And the only reason I have 4 qualifying nights is because I wanted to burn expiring DSUs in January and February, so I had one relatively inexpensive paid stay and one P+C stay. This is my year to revisit my (few) favorite Hyatt properties while I still have status and burn my points, so I have about 15 nights reserved on awards or P+C. Very happy to say that there are no 4" high bathtubs involved.

I "only" need 51 more! 
Actually, I have no intention of making anything this year and will just reap the benefits through February of next year. I've enjoyed and/or will enjoy stays at PHPV, GH Kauai and GH Playa del Carmen with this status.
If I ever go for it again, I'll do a bunch of mattress runs in January and February (when rates are cheap in my area). That's what I did in 2016 to get me about 21 months of Diamond/Globalist (and used to be my every other year airline approach to top tier). Of course, it's a little more difficult now.

7,500 YTD base points. At this rate, will top 60 nights at under 19,000 base points. Type customer they would like to eradicate.
