Year 2 Globalists - TSUs at 55 or 60 nights?
Now that many of us are in year 2 of Globalist, has there been a definitive answer as to when re-qualifying Globalists receive their 4 TSUs?
The Globalist Member Benefits page on the Hyatt website suggests that 60 nights are required.
But the T&Cs say this:
So that seems fairly clear that 55 nights should suffice since we are clearly entitled to re-achieve Globalist status with 55 nights. (FWIW, the same language is used for the Cat 1-7 certificate)
But AFAIK the credit card fast trackers only received Globalist lite, without TSUs. So consider me confused, even though the credit card thing seemed a different promo, rather than multiplying Tier Qualifying Nights...
Of course this would matter FAR less if WoH would fix the stupid system whereby TSUs expire 365 days after being earned. But until then, we need to know whether to stop at 54 or 59 nights...
I don't suppose any road warriors have hit 55 nights already and can provide a data point.
P.S. I'm not sure if this has been definitively covered elsewhere, so mods feel free to merge if necessary...

Sorry, I can't help. It is quite amusing to this observer-from-the-sidelines that WoH is such a mess that some (many? all?) of their most loyal members are confused about the qualification criteria.
Where are the @WorldofHyatt Concierges these days?

Terrible situation to leave loyalists in limbo. I’m a glob via $20K 2017 spend but I really only stay right around the 60-night mark with WoH. I would just submit that, based on many posts, do NOT trust what pl and other agents are asserting as so many are ill informed (another problem.)

You have to admit that it's a mess, even if you feel good about 55.

Good afternoon,
I'm happy to help clarify the above question. In order to be eligible to achieve Globalist with 55 nights in 2018, you would have had to earn Globalist in 2017 through nights or base points. So if you have 60 eligible nights 100K base points in 2017 you will only need 55 nights this year to achieve Globalist. If for example you achieved Globalist through a fast track promo and didn't have 60 night or 100K last year you will need 60 night this year to qualify for Globalist. I'm hoping this helped answer your question. If anyone would like to have us check you account and see where you fall please feel free to PM us.

What your website manages to do - at least in my multiples reads of the website and T&Cs as they have changed over time - is make it really rather unclear whether Globalist status itself is what gets you 4 TSUs and a free Category 1-7 night, or whether it's completing 60 nights.
So if you could just answer @Colin's question that would be perfect.

I just finished my 55th night, so I'd be in a position to know the answer ... except ... this year I'm splitting my business among several hotel chains, rather than get caught in the "welcome to another year of Globalist, your TSUs expire in March 2019" trap again. I'll have 100 Hyatt nights by the end of 2018. So far I only have 21.

Colin,
If you did hit 60 qualified nights in 2017 you will receive your tier suite upgrades and category 1-7 award when you hit your 55 qualified nights in 2018. If you'd like me to look at your individual case please PM us with your World of Hyatt number and verify the name and full address on the account.
