I'm mostly interested in the MLife Gold side of the tick-tock, TBH (I trial matched to Hyatt Explorist via my company for three months, then got MLife Gold during those three months, and now...). I go to Vegas enough that free valet/self parking at MGM properties (aka Vegas circa 2014 or so) is useful and the MLife offers for Golds or the Royal Offers aren't bad. The problem with Hyatt vs. Hilton for me is a) Explorist is weaker than Gold as an elite status, b) Hyatt's coverage in places I often travel to is considerably weaker and c) Hyatt's price points where I travel also tend to be too expensive (I'm usually OK with limited service hotels). It's nice to be able to dump some points from MLife into Hyatt and I find their points useful... but the overall package is not compelling enough to switch many stays from Hilton or even just hotels.com, even with Explorist.
