Historically, Hyatt has the most valuable status because it's generally hard to get.
Between March 28 and April 1, you can unlock World of Hyatt's midlevel status for free and the opportunity to extend it OR earn the top-level status.
Note that you don't need to have a Bilt Mastercard to join the challenge. You can just download the app.
However, if you want to earn points while paying rent, you can learn more about the Bilt Mastercard here: https://www.asksebby.com/go/bilt

How to Get Hyatt Elite Status via Bilt Rewards
- Download the free Bilt Rewards app
- Enroll in Hyatt if you don't have an account.
- Link Bilt and Hyatt in their app (under the Travel tab)
- Click "Unlock World of Hyatt Elite Status" before April 1 on the rent day tab
Once you do this, you'll receive Explorist status by April 17, and it'll last until July 16, 2023.
How to Extend Hyatt Status
- If you do 10 stays during that period (April 17-July 16, 2023), you keep Explorist until Feb 2025.
- If you do 20 stays in that period, you get Globalist until Feb 2025
Hyatt Bonus Journeys Promo
To make things even sweeter, Hyatt is currently running a Bonus Journeys promo to earn 3,000 bonus points every two qualifying nights, up to 30 nights. If you're a World of Hyatt credit card holder, you'll earn an additional 500 bonus points. Learn more about the Hyatt promo and enroll here: https://world.hyatt.com/content/gp/en/offers/bonus-journeys.html
As someone with Hyatt Globalist, I'm super jealous that you have the opportunity to do a challenge.
Hyatt to MGM Rewards Status Match
Even if you don't care about Hyatt, this is the best move to get MGM status for Las Vegas by status matching.
Note that the temporary Hyatt status does not match over. You must do one of the extended status challenges to qualify.
Hyatt Discoverist → MGM Pearl
Hyatt Explorist → MGM Gold
Hyatt Globalist → MGM Gold
You can status match here: https://world.hyatt.com/content/gp/en/rewards/other-partnerships.html
The main benefits of MGM Gold are:
- Waived resort fees
- Free enhanced room upgrade (high floor, view, etc.)
- Priority check-in line at the front desk
- Dedicated line at participating restaurants
- Free self-parking
- Free valet parking at participating MGM Rewards destinations
- $100 Tier status dining credit (75k Tier credits required)
The fact you can get MGM Gold with no gambling is crazy to me and an incredible value.
