I don’t disagree, but I stay at Hilton so little that I primarily just redeem if it makes sense or is close enough (truth be told, I don’t even know how I’m even getting Hilton points).
All of this is really negative for those who don’t have access to US credit cards - assuming that’s where the balancing act here will land in the coming weeks. Combine that with Hyatt’s bad footprint in many locales, and I really don’t see the reason for many folks to invest too much further.
Hyatt may be following Marriott, but they should realize that they can’t get away with everything Marriott gets away with because their footprint is so much worse than Marriott.
