Hyatt is my #3 chain, after Hilton and Marriott, for this reason. I like Hyatt properties best but the don't exist where I'm going much of the time, or are indefensibly expensive next to the competition. So the program has been a minor factor for me and will be a zero factor now.

I think Hyatt is adopting the Delta Air Lines approach -- that an organization can do very well with a bad loyalty program as long as it's operationally good. For most customers DL SkyMiles is not a magnet anymore. WoH will end up being relevant and useful to very few customers IMO, which is probably by design.
