Would be nice if there was an official policy vs waiting on expiration, communicating, and hoping for the best….

It would be... but if there was an official policy then most likely it would become "no extensions, no points, no exceptions". Right now there's probably a large amount of breakage and a lot of people would just accept it. The current model works well enough - if you could officially get 10k for every Cat1-4 cert then a lot more people would just be waiting for them to expire and "cash out" the points.

Club Access and TSU only ever got points in covid times. Agents are clearly not meant to award any points for these, and I am somewhat skeptical of claims from people they got points. Continuously pestering agents for points for these is not helpful overall

Agreed, if they decide to do something official it will be to kill the option. For now they are reliably giving Globs 10/20k pts for expired Hyatt issued FNCs. I do not recall any Glob getting a hard no from their concierge on such a request
