I must admit, I'm still not sure what I'm actually supposed to do with them. I re-qualified for Glob, so obviously don't need them for my own stays. Can I use them for others? If so, only in conjunction with a stay on my own (second room), or independent of it? Or will they simply go to waste?

Would love for them to convert to points though...

I've never had problems with having more than the stated room capacity in the US, but I've heard that you need to be very careful of that in Europe & Asia.

I actually had a use for them come up recently. I found a hotel where the base room (on points) has max capacity of two, whereas the club level rooms have a capacity of three people. So by using the certificate up front I was able to guarantee a room with capacity of 3 instead of hoping that the room would be available upon arrival.

Aren't these milestone awards for club access rather than a club room? I don't think they guarantee a room on a club floor or, for instance, they could be marginally useful for a Glob at HR Tokyo. In a few other places, they would guarantee a room on a very high floor if it's literally a club room and not just club lounge access.

Is there a way to convert them to points? I know Club access is worth at least 5k points I have 4 certs that’s at minimum 20k I would trade
What do you guys do with the Suite Upgrade Awards since Globs get guaranteed suites if they’re available. I guess you could use it to guarantee a Suite, IME they’re typically available though.

so I received 2 TSU earlier this year. I am 2000 base points short of officially requalifying for Glob this year.
however, I just received notification that I have achieved LT Glob and 4 TSU have been deposited.
after I checkout from this stay I will pass the 100k milestone. wonder if I will receive 2 more TSU?
this may be a one time thing... but currently have 6 TSU valid thru Feb 2021.
anyone else seen this?

Yes... lifetime Globalists automatically get their 4 TSUs. Plus whatever you manage to earn from your annual stays... So an easy 8 if your travel patterns don't change. (plus the 70, 80, etc. night gifts if you choose)

For those of us who can still requalify for Glob with (only) 55 nights, is it correct that the next gift choice (of a TSU or whatever) nevertheless appears at 70 and not 65 nights?

with my last stay I also achieved the "regular Glob" status of this year and reveived 2 TSU plus 1 Cat 1-7.
so for next year I have 2 Cat1-7 plus 8 TSU. quite nice
