The number of folks coming close to being maxed out on status with 2-3 major chains (and thus rendered as "free agents" for the next year or two) is going to be an interesting issue for the various chains to deal with.
(I think there's a vague sense that some concrete post-100-night benefit would be nice, but in concrete terms Marriott doesn't really offer anything similar past 75 nights [though Marriott is arguably better on baseline points bonuses].)
You got a link to the specific Hyatt thread?
I think I'm already maxed out on Hyatt and Marriott through its promotions this year.
I currently have 151 nights with Hyatt, 184 nights with Marriott, and only 35 nights with Hilton. So I'm going to focus and concentrate on Hilton since it makes sense to. I don't think Marriott Ambassador is worth it so I won't pursue it.
