Not sure if this is the right thread (but it's sort of a "mattress run") - I'm 7 nights away from Globalist, and was thinking the easiest (and cheapest) way to get there is to put 20k of my tax bill on my world of hyatt credit card to generate 8 qualified nights. It will cost me about $400, but close to where I live, there's no mattress runs that will come even close to being less expensive than that, and for an upcoming stay in Maui, we'll get over $1,500 worth of benefits (waived resort fees + free breakfast for 2 rooms). Is there something I'm missing here? It seems almost like a no brainer which is why I'm nervous I'm not calculating something correctly...8.6.1

What's the lag time from when you completed a recent stay for the Double elite Nights for stays by 2/28/21, to when the double stays appear? My regular elite nights came through for a 8 night stay but not the extra 8 from the promo. Would appreciate your guys insight as to when I should expect the promo nights to post. Thanks!

Out of interest, why would you want a physical card? It seems like it's less convenient vs. using the app (although I've also never actually had to use the app to show anyone my status) and seems like it's just a waste of plastic/paper/logistics and shipping resources.
Airline frequent flyer cards I can understand a bit more, since some lounges still insist on seeing a physical card (which is ridiculous, but one of those situations where it's much easier just to fall in line vs. try to argue).

I haven't received a physical card for years... but maybe that's just me, since my address changes pretty regularly.

Plus, I just like getting stuff that I'm entitled to.
