Exactly. If they are trying to cut costs with these changes, it is only going to make sense to devalue the points at the same time. Your favorite category 4 hotel goes to 5 just after you get your "free" certificate. Certificate goes unused--another enhancement for Hyatt. Wow, I get free parking on an award--well now the award levels go up and the "free" parking gets paid for by charging more points.
