Ok, here we go:

Realistic levels for elite tiers. 55/60 is plain ridiculous. If you want to have a top level that high, fine, but ...

- make it have tangible measurable benefits that are better than Diamond of GP.

- have intermediate levels that provide meaningful benefits. Look at the feedback the Explorist level has received. I don't anyone is aspiring to be an Explorist at the cost of 30 nights. And let's not even talk about Discoverist.

- make the credit card more "useful". I have zero desire right now to keep it in my wallet (I wouldn't even use it at a Hyatt property because my CSR gives me more flexible points). Offer the option to earn night credits through spend to compensate for your lack of properties in many areas. I am never going to put $50k on the card to earn Explorist, but I might be willing to designate some of my spend towards topping off my nights earned towards a status level. (I realize this is not going to be well received outside the US due to the lack of WoH credit cards there)

(I agree with several of the OP suggestions, too)
