When will my double nights post?
It depends.
From the promotion FAQ :
In reality bonus Tier-Qualifying Nights have been posting earlier (and more regularly) than this. They have been posting in batches, so the nights will be credited independently from your stay credits and will show up in your account activity as "Bonus Journeys Bonus Night" once they do post.
For stays completed in 2020 and in the first days of 2021, the bonus nights posted on 1/7/21. There was another Bonus Night posting batch on 1/20/21 and 1/22/21. Some blogs reported earlier this year that posting would be done in batches every two weeks - and this (roughly) lines up with what we've seen so far.
Reported batch dates:
01/07/2021
01/20/2021
01/21/2021
02/04/2021
02/18/2021
03/04/2021
03/25/2021
If you haven't yet received your bonus nights then there's not much that Hyatt will do to "fix" this for you since the official line is that the bonuses won't post until 2-3 weeks after the promotion end date (i.e. 2/28/21).

Somewhat selfishly I'm hoping that "Bonus Journeys" doesn't get extended beyond 2/28 so that I don't have to be concerned with going past the limit. I'd be more than happy with a similar (or better!) but different promo that "resets" the limits from 2/28.

Even worse - has anyone already maxed out the 225,000 Bonus Points from Bonus Journeys?!

Ok, did the math, I guess approximately you spent $10-11 grand on hotels in the past 3 months? or...?

I haven't spent that amount (yet), but if the promo gets extended by another 2-3 months then it'll become a "problem" (which is why I would prefer to start over with a new promo in March rather than a further extension of Bonus Journeys).

I don't think there's been any official announcement about a policy change in earned 2021 free night cert expiration, so as always YMMV, but I'm not sure that people need to wait for that 60th night to trigger a later cert expiration this year. Personally I'm trying to get as many stays in while nights are doubled.
Edit to say that I hadn't read all of the conversation in this thread before posting this reply. Sorry don't yell at me AndyKehn

My stays for checkouts on the 6th and 12th of January posted this week. My stay from this week that posted right before the bonus nights has not yet been doubled.

Mattress Run for Hyatt Globalist in 2022
The bonus nights for my check outs of 1/1 and 1/10 have both posted.

It may not make sense in many cases since there's likely resort fees involved, but when the Prive rate is ~10% or so higher than the member rate then the 4x points may outweigh the extra cost. The Work From Hyatt rates waive resort fees and include breakfast (plus maybe a separate room, depending on the property) so they can also be a good option. You'd also get the extra milestone rewards for those other family members.

Well, if you're still in Bangkok, do some of the day rates for the HR Sukhumvit. US$52 all in and they will feed you breakfast if you get there early enough. I prefer my Thai GF's cooking, so I checked in about noon. Nice place. Doing 5 of those, at least but maybe 10 to get the 5,000 points at 40 and the Suite UPG's at 50. I can easily see doing at least 10 nights later in the year to remove the "stigma" of only being a GLOB-Lite.
But, regardless, thanks for the input

There are any number of FT'ers that use that term, maybe a little derogatory. However, it appears that Hyatt does have an internal rating system, ranking from GLOB-LT at the top, to low-rev GLOB's. That would be me of course, but I'm fine with it.

Especially 4 weeklong guaranteed suite upgrades, a free cat 7 night, and access to a Concierge.
Presumably a “lite” Globalist would be in line behind a “full” Globalist for upgrades at checkin.
Assuming this is true, I doubt the people “scraping in” with 15 cheapo $56 paid or 15x 3750 points nights are gonna get the value they think they will.

I'll make 60, but I'd thrilled to get "Lite" benefits in exchange for only a handful of nights.
