I totally disagree with you on this.

I've gotten $1000 a night suites on a basic points stay on multiple stays this year with Hyatt. Plus all my elite benefits, including a $40 a day free breakfast, free internet, welcome gift, wine, etc. Try to get all that on a Priceline stay at a hotel that you have no status with.
