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).
It depends.
From the promotion FAQ :
17. When will the bonus Tier-Qualifying Night credits appear in my account?
Bonus Tier-Qualifying Night credits will be awarded to members at the conclusion of the Promotion Period. Please allow two to three weeks after the Promotion Period ends to be posted to your World of Hyatt account.

I had a 15-night stay ending yesterday, February 19. The 15 nights just posted to my account, bring me to 78 for the year. Looks like I just missed the February 18 posting of Bonus Journey award nights. So I guess the 15 bonus nights for my recent stay, together with the 7 bonus nights for a stay I've just begun at a different hotel, will post in early March. These will bring me either to 107 or 109 nights for the year, depending on whether the two nights I'm expecting for credit card spend post when my February statement closes.

I got lucky and was able to put 20 (credit for 40) nights on my SO's account, might pull a couple more before the end of the month. Our leisure travel should push him to 60 this year, so I'm essentially a free agent for my work stays again. Glad to have been able to do it this way, I'd be kinda frustrated to not have any perks left to unlock before we're even done with February.

Bonus Journey nights must have posted overnight Thursday and today my additional nights from credit card spend posted. So now officially part of the Glob-Lite club. Will see if we can reach 60 this year.

Would be great if they could do one more elite bonus sweep on Monday or Tuesday - so I can hit explorist and perhaps do a mattress run before Feb 28

The benefits distinguishing Discoverist from Explorist are pretty minimal.
AFAIK they are -
10% Extra bonus points meaning an extra 0.5 points per dollar spent. Which is very minimal.
Club Access Awards - Clubs are currently closed.
Guaranteed Room Availability
Upgraded Room - Since the pandemic reports have been mostly that Discoverists get the same upgrade as Explorists.

I didn’t know that. 😢 I guess I’ve never gone over 100 nights in a year before. Yes, too bad. Especially because total lifetime nights don’t matter for Hyatt lifetime status. 😢😢😢. On the other hand, having locked down Hyatt Globalist and Marriott Titanium through early 2023 (and having Hilton Diamond via credit card) means that for the next ten months I am absolutely free to choose whatever hotel I prefer on the merits at a time when many wonderful hotels are offering great rates. This will undoubtedly include a few dozen more Hyatt nights during the year.

Just curious what good would getting Explorist do and why would it help having Explorist to do a Mattress Run?
