It'll be difficult to please everyone but coming from Netherlands without a Hyatt co+brandedcreditcard or transferable pointscurrency option, a quick calculation shows that as base level member with base earning rate, it would take a lot of spending to even attempt to gather points to be redeemed at the cat 8 aspirational hotels.
And that's even taken into account in doing effort to go out of my way to stay at their hotels due to limited coverage,.

However now also knowing that higher elite WOH can even get earlier access (+1 month) to those awards for prime dates, i realise my chances will be nil. It seems Hyatt has destroyed my chance to switch over from IHG.
Only outcome is just grift and dangle my twin brother for those GOH.
It might have the added effect of flattering his ego but can i survive the bragging ?
Thus i think i pass on Hyatt for now, i do love though everyone's reviews and insights on the fancy Hyatts in the portofolio..
So as an armchair traveller, i do thank everyone in advance for their effort and investment while still sticking to WOH and providing us all with a glimpse in the lifes and updates of the global aspirational properties.
