That's why they waive the charge for their loyal customers. 5 stays or 15 nights in a year at Hyatt and you get Platinum status which includes free wifi (though Hyatt just made wifi free at all their properties). At Hilton it's 20 stays or 40 nights for gold but you can find a fast-track offer and get that status after 4 stays, or just hold certain credit cards (plus free breakfast, gym access, some upgrades, etc).
