Indeed. And as I don't have it in me to pay the Hyatt $ premium for SLH stays, my use of Hyatt's SLH partnership is almost entirely limited to when I'm redeeming Hyatt points for stays at SLH properties. And since Hyatt elite status really doesn't matter -- at least not in any systematic way upon which I can rely -- when redeeming Hyatt points for SLH stays, it's one way for non-Globalists to cash out Hyatt points and get breakfast included for the stays.
