I doubt it. Chase has a pre-existing partnership with Hyatt, so I can't imagine them giving Amex a better deal than they do Chase, even if they contractually could. What's Explorist worth anyway? A 2nd free bottle of water? I appreciate Hyatt as much as the next point collector but since they revamped their program to award club certs at X number of nights you might as well be a nobody or a Globalist - there isn't much in between.
