I am down to 8 stays left. Spent $40K on the Hyatt Card and got 5 stays for that and that certainly helped.
Hopefully can earn the 4 DSU's and try to earn 4 more for 2018 and ride as much as I can on Award stays and save on resort fees and parking!
Also, try to utilize Guest of Honor benefit as we always get 2 rooms for our family.

Never have been a diamond with Hyatt.
But it so happens I want to secure Diamond in the first 2 months since I am so close to gaining it for 2 years
Maybe that makes me one of those with less than $100K in spend

I think they are very much aware of it. The proof is that there is free parking on point-stays but not paid stays. Another example is extending DSUs to non-paid stays. They are also keeping the double-points rate, which is the biggest example by far of the kickback scheme.

My theory is they targeted and surveyed 2 or 3 very frequent/long-staying business travelers who carped about having to spend a dime of their own money on holiday, and the WOH enhancements were born.

I actually remember the survey and I answered that I wanted dsus on awards and elite status on extreme credit card spend...They never asked about changing the requirements.

I did not see in the WOH website stating DSUs are now eligible for award stays. Can someone confirm this?
