Hyatt Status Shortcut And Marriott Changes Upgrade Awards

Richard and Ed are recapping the Disney 5K that they ran together.  They both survived though Ed is still having trouble walking a few days later.  They also answer a listener question about surcharges on award flights to Europe. After that, they breakdown apparent changes to Marriott Suite Night Awards.  Is this a positive or a negative change? Hyatt announces an offer to purchase Mr. and Mrs. Smith gift cards that comes with elite night credit.  This could be a sneaky good way to finish off Globalist status in 2023 or a great head start in 2024.
