I am planning to go on my honeymoon this time next year. I know its too early but I wanted to make sure I am ready points wise.
As of now I am planning to go to Park Hyatt at Hadahaa Maldives for 4 nights(88k points). It looks great to me but I am also open to considering other options.

As of now, I have ~10k points in my Hyatt account and I am a Platinum member (expires 28 Feb 2014).
I have ~60k in my Chase UR account(Sapphire + Freedom). So hopefully I will gather enough points for the stay in the next few months.
I have ~65k in my United Mileage plus account.

First off is it worth spending points for this stay from my Chase UR account or should I get 2 free nights by applying for the Chase Hyatt card? I know its tough to predict but will there be a better Hyatt card offer or are there any other credit cards I should consider for this stay?

Secondly do you have any other suggestion for honeymoon places? I am open to applying for credit cards to gather points and can consider other Hotel programs also.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I assume you are not thinking about traveling from the US to the Maldives just for four days.

Given the length of the trip--I do not think it is worth it.

Now if you are thinking of spending time in an Asian city to and/or from the Maldives--that makes sense. There are some excellent Hyatts throughout Asia...

Nope, I will be getting married in Dubai. So it will be a short flight to Maldives.

I don't see why the Hyatt card would be undesirable in your case. What about getting an AMEX card with a nice sign-up bonus as well?

I can do that too. Its currently offering 75k on the business card, which location do you suggest on that?
