Ep 8 - Hyatt Globalist
Update 2 - the Chase double night credit offer has expired.
Update - the Hyatt credit card is now offering double credit for all nights through 12/31/21. This coupled with the current half-tier requirements means you can qualify for Globalist with only ~13 nights (same as the pandemic promo earlier this year). More info on flyertalk.
This is probably the best it'll ever be until the next recession, highly recommend jumping on it now. The double night credit card offer is currently set to expire on 9/30.
