hyatt mlife loophole
I have mlife gold membership. Today I matched mlife status to hyatt useless explorist with 4 additional club upgrades (8 total in my account now). The explorist is extended to 2019 also.
So if I match to milfe again later, I will obtain mlife gold because of explorist. Until they fix, I can keep matching between those two programs.
Another proof that hyatt only cares about the globalist.

I matched late last year when I was still Diamond, making me a Platinum in MLife, so still Platinum in MLife, even though I fell to Explorist in WoH.
Just tried the matching from MLife. Got an error message from Hyatt site saying my accounts were already linked, BUT also got a mail from WoH congratulating me on requalifying for Explorist.
When I relogged into WoH, my Explorist status was extended to 2019, and four more club upgrades were added to my account, expiring one year from today.
EDIT: Scratch that. Looks like all club awards expire Feb 28, 2018.
Shame there's no MLife status that maps to Glob.

It's pretty telling that a thread telling you how to instantly extend Explorist status for a year without any stays has gained zero traction here.

That said the 4 Club Upgrades are the only valuable perk of Explorist, so getting another lot with the same expiry date isn't the most useful.

So given the policy of club access awards being valid for 12 months from when you earn them, it is worth thinking carefully about when to do this.

It looks like this is a bug in how the website displays your info. I did the Mlife to Hyatt match a couple of weeks ago and all of my Club Access awards appear to expire on Feb 29 on the website, but I just successfully applied one for a stay next May, I assume one of the 4 newly issued ones that were valid for 12 months from when I matched the status recently.

Update: Received a new membership card in the mail showing Explorist level to 2019.
