You seem obsessed with trying to discredit me to further some narrative, but as you know, I don’t have the ability to run a full academic-level study. These forums are for sharing personal experiences, and I thought my personal experience was interesting, especially in relation to previous discussions on this board about Mainland Chinese Hyatts and the withholding of standard suites to other channels, like Ctrip, at some properties.
GMAB, get off your high horse. Did you ask at any front desk at any of the Hyatt properties why there were suites for sale but you weren’t in them? Feel free to share property names.

It’s just amusing giving percentages off of a handful of stay anecdotes. Marriott AMB is the absolute worst ROI on high loyalty spend, so enjoy the upgrades you do get there.

EDIT fair to assume you are including the GH Changsha as an upgrade fail, despite no Standard Suites available as you note? Would be a “nice to get” upgrade, but outside of the Hyatt T&Cs.
