On this website, it does. Many of the most active posters are weirdly defensive about Hyatt and will seldom (if ever) acknowledge any issues with the hotel chain whatsoever. I’m not even sure Hyatt games their award inventory more so than competitors but award availability for desirable properties is an obvious downside of the WoH program (amongst other things). It’s also very revealing when anyone pointing out valid downsides of Hyatt is met with relentless (and irrelevant) criticism of other programs. Marriott properties also playing games with award inventory doesn’t magically create award inventory for Hyatt properties.

The big upside with Hyatt is that your concierge can actually help you attempt to open up award inventory that wouldn’t otherwise be available to you. It’s not guaranteed but much better than nothing.
