Huh, back when Hilton had a policy like this, at least they sent you an American Express Gift Card after your stay...

Must be nice times at Hyatt these days. I think they have an excellent product. It appears many others feel the same, and are willing to pay for it. So many that Hyatt is gutting things like the loyalty program, the best rate guarantee, breakfast buffets on property seem to be shrinking...

We will see what happens next time the economy pulls back and hotel occupancy levels start falling. The gutting of the loyalty program and things like this will cost them... and cost them big.
