Hyatt apparently wants an easy system where you "get something" after every 10 nights. Yet it would make more sense if the awards were stairstepped in a more logical sequence so that each 10-night milestone gives you more of an award. Right now, the sequence does not "grow" as you go up the stairsteps. If we rank the top three milestones by value:

1. 60 nights (biggest)
2. 30 nights
3. 50 nights

The milestone with the LEAST value is 40 nights. In a better world, the cheapest award of all would occur at 10 nights instead of 40 nights.

It would make a lot more sense if the awards generally increase as you go up their staircase. For example:

1. 10 nights - a club certificate
2. 20 nights - 5K points and a club certificate
3. 30 nights - 10K points and a club certificate and Explorist status (better rooms, more bonus points)
4. 40 nights - 15K points and club certificate
5. 50 nights - 15K points and a TSU
6. 60 nights - 20K points and a TSU and Globalist status (better rooms, more bonus points, concierge, club access)
7. 70 nights - 25K points and a TSU

etc.

I would be _perfectly_ fine with getting points instead of Room Night Awards. The Room Night Awards are flawed anyway. They can't be upgraded and they expire too soon.

Maybe the math would have to be tweaked. You'd want to give approximately the same cumulative value under any new program. Still, it makes a lot of sense for the award values to increase each 10 nights, instead of sometimes increase (30 or 60 nights) and sometimes decrease. (40 or 70 nights).
