But so far, guaranteed suite upgrades in advance without time limits, waived resort fees, & free parking on award stays, (I may be missing one or two other unique benefits) are unique within the industry and are good enough to keep most of us running on the hamster wheel to re-qualify.
"guaranteed suite upgrades in advance without time limits, waived resort fees, & free parking on award stays" are definitely a BIG plus. But the reduction in US lounges is one of my bigger concerns.
"Globalists switching away" If someone have ideas of what other programs are on par or better than Hyatt, I would like to know. Having multiple options is something I used to have (Hyatt/Sheraton) but no longer.
