Should we fear World Of Hyatt Redemption Devaluation?
Could this be the end for Hyatt trust and fairness?
Say it aint so
Or is it just the new Mirival exception

The new spas don't really fit into the 1-7 system given the costs of spa services. So it appears more that.
Im sure slow devaluations will continue to happen, but I don't think wholesale is coming. This is true with all travel points programs.

As has been pointed out, the all inclusive resorts are not really easy to fit into the existing categories. Not saying the miraval isn't over priced, but considering they include stuff like $175 resort credit on point booking along with the AI benefits, it makes sense to price it uniquely. The article is just more click bait crap from one of the biggest trash blogs out there.

Gary's post seems highly speculative. There are many provisions in the new WoH T&C that are extremely customer unfriendly.
But I suspect an overall devaluation is coming just b/c Hyatt's chart is pretty generous compared to the other chains.

If I've learned anything since joining FT it is that periodic evaluation is inevitable for all programs. The only questions are how bad it will be and when will it happen.
Personally I am not concerned about an exception for one new resort property in locations where I have many choices. I suspect most of us do not have time and inclination to visit the Maldives so I can't get excited about Gleff's speculation either.

Like with any loyalty program, be it airline or hotel, there will always be a devaluation of some sort. Hence i always try to use my points or miles quickly...
