Hyatt recognizes status by nights or stays. This recognizes that the programs are based, as well as possible on revenue, without saying so. Jobs are different, and so therefore are business travelers patterns. The hotels want the business of those who come a few days at a time and those "campers" that visit less often, but for longer stays. Actually, it would seem that a hotel would be far better off having one stay two weeks three times a year, than 14 stays of 3 days each, let alone 42 one night stands. Lots less clean up, bookeeping, etc. Some hotels offer these campers, paying corporate rates, gifts, like sweaters, wine and other special perks, that are not advertised.
