Tomorrow (Wednesday November 16th), Hyatt is running an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) over on Reddit on the new changes to their loyalty program, and the transition from the Hyatt Gold Passport program to the new World of Hyatt (starting March 1, 2017)
Hyatt AMA with Jeff Zidell (SVP of Hyatt Loyalty)
The email I said that Jeff Zidell, Hyatt SVP of Hyatt Loyalty will be answering questions as part of a reddit “Ask me Anything” series tomorrow (November 16th) at 12pm CST (10am PST, 1pm EST, 5pm GMT). Ā If you’ve never heard of an Ask Me Anything, the idea is that anyone can ask well… anything :-). Ā Not all questions are answered and different guests get into the spirit of things more or less (hello Woody Harrelson!).
There are 2 different (similarly named sub-reddits). Ā AMA and IAmA. Ā The latter has about 50x more people in it, but I do not see Jeff Zidell or anyone from Hyatt on the schedule for the 16th. Ā So it’s unclear to me, which of these forums (or other) Jeff will be participating in. Ā The email I got says that I’ll be “emailed a link”Ā sometime on November 16th.
If you have any questions, log on to reddit tomorrow and ask away as well as up-voting questions that you want Jeff to answer. Ā It says that Jeff will answer questions for about 30 minutes.
What would be the 1 question YOU would like to see Jeff and Hyatt answer?

I want to know exactly what all “in house” perks Guest if Honor guests get
If an existing 2017 qualified Diamond/ now Globalist does the Jan-Feb. 2017, 25 stay mattress run for 2018-19 Globalist Qualifiication will they receive 4 DSU suite upgrades ( or whatever they will be called in WOH ) usable for the March 1st 2018-FEb.28th 2019 time frame that they will be awarded Globalist for the 25 stay mattress run? Will receiving the 4 upgrade instruments for 2018-2019 require staying 60 nights?
What really is the relationship between Hyatt and M life? What happened that Hyatt will no longer offer M life Platinum status to any Hyatt members at any level?
Why drop the “stays” status qualification altogether instead of raising it, for example, in step with required number of nights – e.g., 60 nights or 30 stays instead of the current 50 nights or 25 stays?
I’m currently watching the IAMA w/ Jeff, and I’m glad you posted your questions. Thanks for asking about the loss of Stay Qualifications. +1
It is unfortunate that most (all?) of Jeff’s answers have been canned and/or non-answers š
