Most other smaller chains dont even have loyalty program. 60 nts for a chain the size of hyatt is unrealistic imho unless one lives/travels in the limited areas with a lot of hyatts.
You sort of answered your own question: Hyatt isn't, in fact, a small chain. Fairmont has 75 properties; Hyatt has 777 properties with dozens more on the way.
For the people who claim it's hard to make 60 nights with Hyatt, how many total hotel nights do you log in the average year, and what do you believe would be a fair number for top-level status?
If people are spending 60 nights per year in hotels, I could see how it might be tough to make Globalist at Hyatt, since Hyatt obviously has a smaller footprint than, e.g., Marriott. But for people who spend 75+ nights on non-long-term stays, I have a hard time believing there's no Hyatt at all available for 20% of the nights, unless you're traveling to some out-of-the-way places.
