Only if they’ve been charging the card on file periodically through the stay. If they haven’t you can absolutely change method of payment at checkout.

True, this may just be my experience but even when I request expedited shipping on new cards from chase they still take 10-14 days. If they got approved and the card sent out to the hotel in time it could've worked.

But in any event, if you apply and get approved before checkout, that should do it. I don't believe you have to charge the stay to the card - you just have to have the card account.

You don’t need to charge the stay. OP just needs to be approved for it before they check out.

The other milestone awards (suite upgrade awards, club lounge access awards) will expire 2/29/2024, when your Globalist status expires, so there is less time pressure for these.

I might be jealous you are that irreplaceable. I've become old and expendable.
I think you will very much enjoy the Hyatt Globalist treatment. But, be warned it does not mean you are always and automatically promoted to the Presidential Suite every time you arrive.
I always thought the best part of having Globalist, and I may not next year, is access to the club. When I lived in hotels I got so tired of the same four walls of my room, and having to choose dinner every morning and night. I was actually relieved just to go to the club for a change of place, and having warm food waiting.
Be sure and use some of your point balance for a nice stay at the Grand Hyatt Kauai. Globalist will not get you a suite (maybe on the ground floor, but I don't like the ground floor) but almost certainly will get you a good view. Ask for 3rd to 6th floor.

Apologies, I wrote that at 6am hadn’t slept all night was running on fumes.
Correct - The 30 night Milestone Category 1-4 Certificate is valid for 6 months from when this stay posts to your account.
There is a 5 brand Category 1-4 Certificate you get for staying at 5 different Hyatt Brands that one has a 1 year expiration.

Don’t listen to them.
Any property that has a maximum it only means you can literally only stay a maximum of 28 consecutive nights. If you’ve stayed 60 nights at the property everything will credit just fine.
Only exception to this is MGM as I believe you can stay for 2 months but their max is 14 nights for earning with them or Hyatt. That’s the only one.
You will earn all the credit and make sure you register for the double points promo as those will be nice.
One other way someone could go from 0 to Globalist with one stay is 20k Base Spend, so a high end property. One could easily achieve this in Vegas with hosting a large dinner

So only a few states have a “transient tax” basically meaning an extra tax specifically applied to short term stays (28-30 days or less varying by state).
I checked a property I frequent in Texas and here’s the results for 7, 27, and 56 nights as far as taxes.
As you can see no matter the length of stay the same taxes are applied. So it definitely would vary state to state.
I used to believe that a 30 day stay would yield no taxes until I actually checked for myself, and sadly got these results.

I searched for Hyatt in Minneapolis and came up with the Hyatt Place Edina, MN. The taxes for 25 vs. 30 nights are the same tax rate, no difference.
