What even is 2021? I used to read Flyertalk every single day, and now I\u2019m lucky to visit once a week. Anyway:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flyertalk.com\/forum\/hyatt-world-hyatt\/2047066-new-hyatt-globalist-status-challenge-open-everyone.html\">There is a Hyatt Globalist status challenge<\/a> available to anyone right now, and you\u2019ve got through November 30th to register. This one is slightly harder than normal because you\u2019ll have to call a full service Hyatt\u2019s sales department and ask to register, so you can\u2019t just clicky-clicky your way to status. When you register you\u2019ll get Explorist status through 2021 no matter what. But you can earn status through February 2023 pretty easily:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay 10 nights to keep Explorist<\/li>\n<li>Stay 20 nights to earn Globalist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My usual advice is that Globalist is absolutely worthwhile and valuable, and lower status with Hyatt is barely worth mentioning and you can replicate most of it with a nice \u201cplease\u201d to the front desk at check-in. (Why yes, I have been called cynical before. Why do you ask? Actually, maybe they just called me apathetic, I can\u2019t be bothered to remember which.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Meijer has a $5 reward for every $50 spent on gift cards, up to 10 per account through August 14. I hope if you live in Meijer land that you\u2019ve gotten a few MPerks accounts by now. <s><a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meijer.com\/mperks\/rewards.html\">Make sure to add the offer<\/a> to your account<\/s> UPDATE: MJ let me know that there\u2019s no need to add the offer to your account on this round.<\/p>\n<p>Do note that several gift cards are ineligible, but Home Depot and Best Buy are both eligible so there\u2019s lots of juice to squeeze.
