However, I can totally understand if Hyatt are trying to shake out those pseudo diamonds who did it with those budget stays at HP for $60 a pop. To be able to introduce meaningful benefits at the top level you can't have every man and his dog entitled to those benefits. Everyone is constantly complaining about over crowded RC, non availabllity of suites for upgrades, now with 4 pm checkout how can a hotel turn those rooms around in a timely fashion for incoming guests if half the hotel is Diamond.

I don't think it is about anyone saying it's ok for me to qualify on the cheap but not you, but rather Hyatt needing to focus on where the real bucks are coming from.
