It took another several months to a year or so (presumably after realizing that they were going to lose a bunch of elites) before they started counting award nights as elite nights, and also before the Chase WoH card came out to help supplement elite night earning.

I’ve been a globalist for 3 years now and haven’t been assigned a concierge. Is this soemthing they automatically do? I’ve been using the Hyatt Twitter team as they’ve been excellent in resolving any issue

Too bad the FNAs (1-4 and 1-7) expire 180 days after issuance and need to be used by then as well. I guess it makes the decision making process easier when it comes to chasing the Milestone Rewards

Why would they be wasted? They still roll over into 2021 1:1, counting towards the 30 needed next year and that's better than nothing. IF you have to stay somewhere right now that is.

Officially booked a 10 award night stay Dec 22-Jan 1 for 50k points. For the other 3 nights to get Globalist, I will be using my $200 credit with Amex FHR at the Beekman Thompson, can anyone confirm if FHR bookings earn elite qualifying nights? Otherwise I'll redeem my 10% Chase offer and combine it with the get $75 Off $250 At Hyatt Independent Collection Brands promotion for other hotels in NY.

I for one do not see business travel ever coming back to 2019 levels (especially IT related). There is no way clients will pay for teams flying around and staying in hotels when is been proven they can work from home. I suspect this new model will be here to stay until they can figure out another revenue stream to replace lost business travel.

Considering this,
”all unused Free Night awards that were earned in 2020 with 2021 expiration dates will be extended to December 31, 2021.”
I see them at least extending All Awards with a 2021 expiration to 12/31/21. I don’t feel like that’s an unreasonable expectation.
