It's just an extremely weak mid-tier status.

Hyatt mid-tier is *VERY* competitive with the industry - and the ONLY one with Club Access awards...

I think when you compare it to hotels with three levels it's pretty weak. It's far weaker than Hilton Gold and IHG Platinum. Marriott meanwhile has something like 5 tiers now so it's hard to determine what's mid-tier with them.
