The optimist in me can see how this change might allow Hyatt to approve more claims. (since franchisees will have nothing to complain about)

The pessimist in me suspects that Hyatt corporate isn't going to start paying $50 per BRG claim just for its dubious marketing value, when BRGs are ultimately designed to punish franchisees for providing lower rates to OTAs than to the chain itself.
