Credit yes, but Globalist benefits, no. If they intended to offer it don't you think they would be crystal clear about this perk? I was told specifically at the GH Playa Del Carmen (a very well run hotel managed by Hyatt Corporate - so not a franchise where information is often wrong) that my benefits only applied to my room officially, but as a special courtesy they would extend club access to my parents' room (also under my name)... It sounds most/all properties do it, but I know it is not an official perk.

sort of answering my own question.
I contacted MHC and was advised, that these awards can be used for friends, relatives etc, when staying with you in another room.
So this could be an indication, that Hyatt will enforce the Globalist benefits to 1 single room only?

Hyatt has no idea whether or not someone will requalify for Glob, so it makes sense to give out the milestone awards. If your were to not requalify on 2019 nights/spend, you would be downgraded to Explo from Mar 1, 2020, and then these Club Access Awards would be valid for 1 year from that time.

If it is true that the Club Access Awards can be legitimalnly used across multiple rooms that would seem like a major departure from past policy. Haven't the T&C always said that awards like this (re legitimate use, they are a bit similar to TSUs) could not be transferred?
So've received 12 of these Club Access Awards so far, 8 expiring end of Feb 2020 and 4 expiring end of Feb 2021. I have 5 applied, but expect to receive at least 4 more that will expire end of Feb 2021. If I were also staying, I could theoretically apply Club Access Awards to as many room for which I have awards available (at this point 7)?
Seems more generous than I thought Hyatt would be. Alas, we're always just the 2 of us. I wish instead they would make these awards valid for breakfast at Hyatts that do not have a club

Do you usually find your concierge to be correct in their information?

No, free breakfast is a Globalist benefit at hotels that don't offer free breakfast either to everyone or to WoH members. Not aware of any free-breakfast benefit for Explorists at hotels without a club.

That is a benefit from Marriott Plat then. I get mixed up. If you get plenty club certificates, then pick the hotels which get club lounge...

I don't want to restart the valuation conversation on this thread but I am about to hit 40 nights and I was wondering which option people plan to take ($100 gc, 5k pts, FIND). I think it would have been a tougher decision if it was 10k points vs $100 gc but it seems like the gift card is the way to go for most scenarios that don't require an award top off or similar situation. Are the gift cards hard to redeem or have other strict rules or just something you can apply at check-out? Appreciate the thoughts and comments.
