I did ~400k base points last year and should hit lifetime later this year or early next.

I have to imagine I've stayed at a Hyatt (plain brand) at some point but don't remember ever doing so, although that could just be because I don't distinguish the Hyatt/Regency/Grand brands in my mind.
Sounds like you need to add a Ziva or Zilara to that list. There's something really nice about being able to redeem points for an all-inclusive hotel, especially Cancun or the new one in the DR. That's a benefit I didn't have with SPG that I greatly appreciate with Hyatt.
