I got the call night of 12/6 from my concierge.
I am based at a hub - CLT
Not registered for any challenge that I know of
Did register/link my accounts and I make extra Hyatt points on my AA flights
I do primarily fly AA
Currently Plat Pro but was not going to make Plat Pro again as lack of miles/segments 64.5kmiles 69 segments however I do have 15.7k spend (lot of last minute short single hop flights that are expensive but don't generate miles/segments)
I didn't get much detail besides she was going to send me something and had to get my approval and that this was something that AA was offering.
Haven't seen any emails yet and I scoured my spam etc
no change on AA yet either.

I have just received the EP status too. Background: I have been a globalist for years, have the world of hyatt credit card, live in Michigan and have 60 nights and just shy of 40k base points at the moment. I linked my Hyatt and AA accounts months ago, had some one world flights during the original status challenge but never really tried to go for Platinum. I mostly fly Delta

Not failing to meet the offered challenge, but enrolling in the offered challenge. The outcome (fail/complete) would not be clear yet for most depending on registration date, as IIRC the challenge was offered in September and ran for three months. The (pure conjecture) theory would be that registering for the challenge would indicate interest and allow Hyatt to target the gift to those who would value it most.

Equally speculating, but it makes sense that they'd start with the pool of Globs (assuming offer available to all Globs regardless of how it was attained) who opted in and signed up for the challenge. I mean, why waste the "gift" on someone who didn't even care enough to is sign up for free 90 Plat, right?

Called and was told that I was not targeted. I’ll finish the year with 50 nights and ~160k base points on Hyatt.
Currently EXP on AA, but will finish the year as Plat only. Perhaps that had to do with it. It’s annoying nonetheless.

No call (yet). Called in and nothing on my account. I am Globalist with just at 70 nights. Been Globalist for going on 8 years. Plat Pro with AA this year. Lifetime Plat with AA. I have modest spend on AA so I would have a fighting chance at upgrades on some of my flights.
Although I am in D/FW - Suspect they will be favoring other areas with more competitive airports.
I did call but nothing on my account and they were not aware of any offers. Congrats to those who got it.

Thanks ALL! I called in to my concierge, and asked the covering rep to check to see if I may be eligible for this offer. Within moments, she said yes you are, and registered me She said it would take about 14 days, and nothing further was needed for me.
I had no clue this was going on...
Thanks FlyerTalk, and again to all of you!!
Merry Christmas!

Stats:
Airport: MEM
Nights: 51 (will requalify this week)
Base points: 35k
AA status: Gold but platinum two years prior
I wasn’t even close to requalifying Gold this year due to the birth of my daughter and less travel so this is quite the holiday gift from Hyatt.
