Having said all that it's Hyatt's sandbox we just choose to play in it or move on to another one. If it wasn't for my travel slowing down as I begin to sell my company I would stay, but it's just not worth the "stress" of getting those nights.
Marriott Platinum status costs some I know as little as $375-540 (USD), without having to book even 11 actual room night stays in Marriott hotels. Marriott Gold is really easy to get and it comes with breakfast and/or lounge access.
WOH pushed me to embrace Marriott.
