40K equals a lot of options.
What options are you getting out of 40K?

You have several (3, I think?) months, after they send the email, until you must decide between 10K points or TSU.

YMMV but last year they let me un-do a 10K choice and re-do it as a TSU. (It was still within the 3 months period).

This year I'll probably do the four bonuses (boni?) as 3 x 10k and 1 TSU.

I have plans to visit PH HND and PH SYD in 2019, with possible last minute travels to PH CDG at any time if work and rewards avail flow my way. 30K for a tax free night in any of these properties, and 1/2 way to another, or almost at C&P rates. My hope is to have a 7 night all points stay in PH HND due to the high local taxes there (19% I think). A very nice use of points, and surprisingly, for vacations as Hyatt Worldwide properties work for me in particular. Though Stariott St Regis is a very nice plan B. ;)

the real question is what do I do for stays 101++++?

My points go to my employers. Unfortunately, that includes points from my leisure travel too. Yes, I should care about getting all the points they are owed, but I'm not inclined to beat my head against the wall ensuring this.

Whoa! Grabbing your leisure points doesn't even sound legal.

Wait... how does that work? You mean, rates you book on your own, pay with your own credit card, turn into points for your employer??? What about points earned from credit cards??

Awful. Then I would get the suite upgrades for sure!

The points get redeemed for work travel, which is, I guess, about the same. I work for a not-for-profit/not-for-profits, so it's more-okay.

I don't play the credit card games. Actually, I can't, because I'm a 365-day traveler.

No one answered about the WoH CC nights counting, but I sure hope they do. If not, I'm wasting a lot of good legitimate spend on this card.

I'm also pretty sure they do count.

why would they not? They are elite qualifying nights, just like if you stayed at a hotel. Or are you worried they only count towards globalist and not 70/80/90, which would make no sense since the recent Andaz double elite nights count towards that.

I just feel like, with Hyatt, we never really know how things will work. After all of the misinformation over the 55/60 nights issue, I just have my guard up.

I’m already at 63N. My old CC statement closes tomorrow. I’m going to pay it off and then cancel and then open the new card. Estimating the whole thing will take a few weeks. I’ll post what happens, but I’m expecting the 5N plus multiples of two for spend will count.

Thr CC 5 nights posted before I even got the card and that sent me over 70 nights and triggered the bonus. I am now at 81 nights and the second bonus was also triggered on time so these nights do count toward the bonus thresholds.

OK. Cool. Glad that's working.
