Big change to the use of guest of honor bookings!!!!

https://viewfromthewing.com/hyatt-transforming-elite-benefits-for-2024-what-you-need-to-know/

Hyatt must not have liked how many GOH bookings were being made because they're severely limiting them.  These will be in much tighter supply now than we're used to.

I totally agree. Previously, Globalists were charging ~$100 essentially just for a points transfer as that can only be done once every month and not for the Guest of Honor booking itself since there was no limit on how many reservations could be booked that way. Now that the number of Guest of Honor bookings that one can make is capitated, I imagine the price will go up. The ability to only book 3 Guest of Honor reservations as a Globalist who hits 60 nights is severely limiting in the context of this thread.

Looks like this really only kicks in 2025 for existing Globalists (see Part B)


(i) Guest of Honor:
Effective January 1, 2024, Guest of Honor will become a Milestone Reward, as described above, and will no longer be offered as a tier benefit to members achieving Globalist status. For clarity and without limiting the foregoing, the Globalist Guest of Honor benefit will be discontinued effective January 1, 2024, except that:
 
(a) Members who have earned Globalist status for all or part of 2024 as of December 31, 2023, will receive five (5) of the Guest of Honor Awards described in the Milestone Reward section above during January 2024 – and will be able to enjoy the expanded perks offered by those new Guest of Honor Awards – provided that such automatically provided 2024 Guest of Honor Awards will be valid for a reservation with a checkout date on or before February 28, 2025. 
 
(b) Should a such Member whose Globalist status expires February 28, 2025, or later apply to reservations or transfer via gift all of their Guest of Honor Awards, they may still make use of the legacy Globalist Guest of Honor benefit described below until February 28, 2025 (or, for any such Member who has Globalist status that – as of December 31, 2023 – expires later than February 28, 2025, until February 28, 2026).
 
(c) Should such a Member whose Globalist status expires February 29, 2024, apply to reservations or transfer via gift all of their Guest of Honor Awards, they may still make use of the legacy Globality Guest of Honor benefit described below until February 29, 2024.
 
In each case, Guest of Honor Awards must be applied to reservations or gifted to another Member (in accordance with these Terms) first, before the legacy Globalist Guest of Honor benefit can be utilized.
 
Legacy Globalist Guest of Honor benefit terms:
 
Gifting an Award section of these Terms. Guest of Honor benefits are available only for gifted awards that are redeemed at a participating Park Hyatt, Miraval, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt, Andaz, Hyatt Centric, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Thompson Hotels, Alila (some locations only), JdV by Hyatt, Dream (some locations only), Destination by Hyatt (both participating Destination Hotels and participating Destination Residences locations), Caption by Hyatt, Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Vivid, Impression by Secrets, Secrets, Breathless, Zoëtry, Alua, Sunscape, or other Legacy AMR Collection (some locations only) hotel or resort. Not valid at Hyatt Vacation Club properties.

Ah that's good to know! However, I've read that one of the reasons likely to implement this change is to reduce selling of Guest of Honor reservations or to reduce bookings that were not intended as the Guest of Honor program is designed. You can never be certain if having to call in to make additional of Guest of Honor reservations beyond the normal limit somehow draws attention to your account. It's just top of mind for this thread given many of these reservations are made after a points transfer for the intended purpose of making Guest of Honor reservations for others which is also technically not allowed.
