The T&C's say the following: "To maintain Explorist status through February 2025, member must complete at least ten (10) Tier-Qualifying Nights (as defined in the World of Hyatt program terms) at any participating Hyatt hotels and resorts worldwide, participating MGM Rewards destinations, Small Luxury Hotels of the World (“SLH”) properties, or Lindblad Expeditions on stays started and completed during the Explorist Trial Period."
Is Secrets considered in one of the above categories or are they excluded? I'm guessing excluded, but we have a short stay there in June so I wanted to check.

For me a Glob Lite is someone who hit Globalist with 10 nights stayed or less.
This was possible in early 2021 you could start from 0, get the WOH CC which gave 10 nights then stay 10 nights with the double EQNs making 30 Elite Nights.
On top of that they couldve had 5 or 10+ nights rolled over from the prior year.
Since Hyatt has had a longstanding Corporate challenge of stay 20 nights in 90 days to hit Globalist not sure it exactly applies as we didnt start using the term Glob Lite until Q1 2021 AFAIK.
Could also be a case of tomato vs toma-to where some people just view it differently.

This whole Glob Lite thing is yet another Internet-borne stratification by elites trying to outdo one another in the upgrade line - it’s been said before that any Globalist shows up as a Globalist in Hyatt’s systems, regardless of whether you’ve stayed the 60+ nights the old-fashioned way, spent enough on your credit card or milked the many US-slanted promotions to get you there. “Glob Lite” means absolute bubkis.
The sooner this whole meaningless differentiation is done away with, the sooner we can move onto and busy ourselves with things that actually matter - or matter more.

There were at least 2 years pre-COVID where the 20 nights Corporate challenge was run yet no one called people who earned Globalist through those Glob Lites.

I think globlite came about when it was double elite nights and half the requirements and roll over so it was 15 nights to get it

Yeah thats what I was saying - Also it was less if you got the WOH CC which was offering 10 EQNs just for signing up at the time which many people took advantage of to get status.
