Quick question on requalifying for globalist
 

Looked through three pages of thread titles and didn't see an applicable one for posting, sorry.


Didn't I read that there was a change, and Diamonds/Globs now need 60 nights to re-qualify... that the 55 nights for re-qualifying (vs. 60 nights for new qualifying) was killed and now it's 60 nights be it for qualifying or re-qualifying?


If yes, I'm confused, as when I log into my Activity it says shows "43 nights to re-qualify" but I only have 12 nights YTD .



Thx


(mod feel free to move to appropriate thread)

Change takes effect next year.

Ah, that explains it, thanks.

Just to confirm, so to requalify for the 2020 membership year, existing globs can still do 55 nights for status (March 1st 2020 to Feb 28 2021)? Then, it will be 60 nights for status March 1st, 2021 to Feb 28, 2022?

Correct.

However has not the change that you only get 2 DSU at 55 nights already gone into effect? So basically to get the Cat 7 night and 2 DSU you still need 60 now right? Effectively making it 60 for full diamond?

Isn't any "qualifying year" (the period for which nights towards a 55 or 60 count) dated Jan/1-Dec/31, not Mar/1-Feb/28?

You're talking about two different things. You're talking about the window in which you have to attain status. He's talking about the window that's granted such status. Your Jan-Dec 2019 qualification is for Mar 2019-Feb 2020.

And just to cover all bases, if you achieve a higher level before the end of a year, you have the higher status for a longer period of time. For example, If you are an Explorist who hits 60 stays Jan-May 2020, you will have status May 2020-Feb 2022. Same situation and you're a Globalist with status that expires through Feb 2021, if you hit 60 stays Jan-May 2020, you have extended your Glob status through Feb 2022.

Rather than use the term, 'full diamond', let's go with Hyatt's term, 'milestone'.
At the 50 night milestone, you get 2 TSUs.
At the 55 night milestone, you renew Globalist status.
At the 60 night milestone, you get 2 more TSUs and 1 Cat 1-7 night. If you were an Explorist rather than renewing Globalist, you will now be a Globalist.
There are also 70, 80, 90, 100 night milestones which can give one additional points or TSUs.

Now I'm just waiting for someone to come along and ask about achieving status based on points rather than nights ...

Did Hyatt actually confirm that this starts in 2019 even for requalifying Globalists? If so, there are going to be some very unhappy people who get the re-qualifying email at 55 nights and then don't notice they didn't get the TSUs and Cat 1-7 until it's too late.

Looking through the official T&C, it doesn't looks like they have any caveats. So as far as I can tell, you don't get TSUs 3/4 or Cat 1-7 until 60 nights.

Last year's T&C said this as well, but the "55-night globalists" got the TSUs and the cat 1-7 night.

So, anything is possible. I would certainly not leave myself in a situation where I could not easily get to 60, but I would not be surprised to get the TSUs & the night at 55

With the re-design of the app/website last week the "countdown" has vanished as well by the way. So there is no longer any 60/55 indicator - I don't like that at all even if it's just a cosmetic issue at this point.
