I get not offering straight matches after the debacle a few years ago, but to not even offer a challenge...?
Seriously? You haven't read the threads here where posters go berserk any time Hyatt comps or shortcuts some group to Glob? Every. Single. Time. See this American/Hyatt thread for the latest rants: Hyatt and American Airlines announce enhanced loyalty benefits
They seem to think that new blood into the program will deprive them of suites and even food/drink in the lounges. Meanwhile, they ignore the fact that in order for Hyatt to grow its footprint, it requires additional members. I find it very humorous to watch.
