Assuming room occupancy can sleep 2 adults and 2 kids, then yes complimentary breakfast. How old are kids? 13+ are often considered adults outside of US...in this case, no complimentary breakfast for the 3rd adult per the terms but of course YMMV.

Thats what I wonder. Those 75k are an expensive way to buy Glob breakfast, IMO. Maybe some other glob benefits will make it worthwhile for the OP (parking, resort fees, Glob earnings bonus), but I dont think it would make sense for me (especially since I have no idea where I will be traveling in 2024).
I would drop the "almost."

100% agreewhatever the promotion (Bilt, Q1, Q2 etc) the only real winners are the people who would have spent the nights/cash anyway (e.g. I had more than 30 nights booked in Q1 and Q2 so the 30k and 45k extra points for them from the Q1/Q2 promos are a pure win/gift)?
Bilt had a similar promo with UA, temporary status and a challenge to maintain status. I was trying to convince myself why I should go for it with some crazy mental math gymnastics. Good thing I caught myself and didn't fall into the trap.

From what I've read it needs to be a USA number. I don't live in the US but I downloaded the app and I used my USA number. They send a code to verify your phone number.

It needs approval. I signed up and haven't been approved yet, but I received an email telling me "We received your request for World of Hyatt Elite status. You'll hear back from us no later than April 17th...talk soon...Bilt".

I wonder if anyone has gotten the approval email already or are they waiting for the sign up to close and then assess the situation

Bilt signs up at least large rental companies to credit one point per dollar on rent payments
with no fees. You need to apply for a BILT Mastercard (it is a Wells Fargo Global Elite card).
We had a credit rating agency problem so only were approved for $1300. Bilt has a way to
turn on Bilt protect (whatever that is) and then the entire rent payment is credited without
using the $1300 limit. You need to use your Bilt card 5 times a month to get the points.
