Before anyone gets too upset. This promo is NOT getting people to Glob. It is merely issuing a card that says they are Glob and adding people to the pool of 'best available room'.
No DSU
No Free Night
No Resort fees waiver
.......but free water, breakfast and lounge access. It's sort of an Explorist-Plus or Globalist-lite.
Hyatt has found a unique promo here. Tick off all the Globs who earned status to "their level and promise Glob benefits without, well, the Glob benefits.
4 months x 20 stays
12 months x 60 stays

This promotion gets one to glob minus the TSUs and free night. I'm OK with that; I've gotten a decent number of suite upgrades at checkin thanks to the new policy.
Yes, same number of annualized nights. I wouldn't go for this offer if not for a 3 week vacation in October. I've picked out several locations that will allow me to easily make 20 nights. As a bonus, I got to make top tier at Fairmont this year and have decided that it's not for me.

The TSUs and the free night are not Glob benefits, they are rewards for reaching 60 nights. For first timers acquiring Glob status the regular way that happens simultaneously with the acquisition of Glob status because it also takes 60 nights to get Glob for the firs time. For existing globs the requal threshold is 55, but that doesn't give them the awards for 60 nights.

No, not minus anything. The promotion gets one glob, full stop.

They'll have to endure competing with me for suites and lounge space for another year while I continue to drain my Hyatt account of points. And if Hyatt makes another offer/promotion for shortcut glob next year (they will) that works for me, I'll take them up on it. In fact, I think I'll plan my vacation for the Oct-Dec timeframe next year to be ready if they make the same offer (Hyatt management isn't known for originality).

If your question is really "What hotels will allow me to claim qualifying nights without ever being physically present at the hotel?", then the answer is "There are none."
