Lifetime status tips?
Apologize if there's a thread, I searched "lifetime" and didn't see anyting on the first 2 pages. I'm new to Hyatt, first stay starts tomorrow. Will be doing lots of nights/$ in Q1. Any tips on lifetime earnings or quirks/traps to be aware of? Thank you!

There are several existing threads. Seach (using advanced search) "lifetime" in the title only.

Lifetime status is simple. Earn 1,000,000 Base Points which normally comes from $200,000 in spend. There are not different tiers of lifetime status, only Glob.

No tips necessary. Just spend $200,000 pre-tax.
Try to spend that $200k during promotions, even though the resulting points / award stays wont count for lifetime status.

Get a job that involves a lot of travel and for a company/clients that don't care much about your nightly hotel cost. Easiest way to get to $200k. A tip for those that don't currently have a "career" or are looking to change directions, and shooting for lifetime globalist.

Since skj already supplied the nearly definitive answer, do any other mere mortals joke about their progress toward lifetime? I chuckle with every $20 room charge. The on quirk not mentioned is that alcohol spend doesn't count in most locations.

I used to care but with the rate of devaluations and with my amount of travel, I don't worry about it anymore.
