It would probably not cost Hyatt a whole lot to do so given the very few who have reached 15. I doubt it will happen, just wishful thinking on my part. I think in reality Hyatt probably expects to acquire a couple of brands in the next few years making #20 attainable.
There are a bunch of brands arriving soon with the AMR acquisition.
But I would also love to see some innovation here. Gamify it a little bit. Every year for example you could get a Cat 1-4 by staying at 5 different brands, and a 1-7 for staying at 10 brands.
