I suspect this has been asked before, but I cannot find the thread:
If someone REqualifies for Globalist by staying 55 nights, my understanding is that there are four TSUs given at 55 nights, the free cat 1-7 cert at 55 nights, as well as access to My Hyatt Concierge for another year at 55 nights. Is this correct?
Can I assume that the fifth TSA still requires 70 and not 65 nights?

I'm under the impressions the fifth upgrade comes at 70 nights, and will know for sure within ~ 10 days

It would definitely be better if the choice were extended past 100 nights. But as for an incentive at the moment, there is the possibility of getting up to 60000 points from the current promotion running until November 30.

Can anyone confirm how long these suite upgrade certificates earned at 70, 80, etc nights are good for? Is it like the new 4 you get annually?
"Suite upgrade awards earned on or after January 1, 2018 are valid for the same period as the tier status of the member at the time the awards were earned. The awards are valid in connection with reservations with a checkout date by the expiration of the award." So that means Feb 2020, if I choose it this year. So it doesn't make a difference if I choose it now versus later (as in make the selection of 10,000 points versus suite upgrade certificate)?

There is probably a logical inconsistency between giving points or TSUs for each 10-night block and also counting them for the following year, but a company concerned about losing elites could do far worse than implementing rollover nights to keep more Globalists around...
And yes... the 60K promo is turbocharged when you add another 40K points from 70, 80, 90 + 100...

I have said it before and I say again, why not just make it so that you keep getting bonuses past 100? 110, 120, ad infinitum. Anything that reduces the incentive to stay more and more is idiotic. There should NEVER be a reason you say, "I have stayed enough at Hyatt this year, I will get more from staying at X". 10k or DSU every 10 and I would say, every 30 nights you get both starting at 100. So at 100, get both, then choose at 110, 120 and at 130 get both again, etc. So basically someone who stays 100 nights gets their status renewed plus 30k points (effectively another Cat 7 night) and a 5th DSU or double the DSUs and 10k points.

I hit 70 with a stay that finished yesterday and should get the email I guess today. I think I am going to take the 10,000 points for this round. I still have two TSUs to use for next year and not sure when/how they will get used yet. My personal/family travel for 2019 is pretty much set except maybe 1 trip late next summer and whatever I do in the fall-- For a couple of my trips already booked, I am just going to pay cash for the suite upgrade which was only ~15$ more per night anyways upon booking (and now is less than the base room rate anyways). At 80 and 90 (and maybe even 100) night levels, I can reassess still if I need the extra suite upgrades next year.
With this last 2 night stay, I spent 10,000 pts. I will get 10,000 pt back for hitting the 70 night bonus, 1,000 pt back (supposedly) for the cc 10% back promo, and it triggers my first tier of the fall promo at 2,500 pts back. Of all the adjustments over the last year, I think the biggest gift is including award nights as elite-earning nights.!!
