If you factor in credit card use, particularly non-hotel charges, then any comparison becomes increasingly complicated unless you are going to have extended tables to account for charge amounts at incremental levels. That analysis would be useful if it applies to you, but more work than I am interested in at this point.

What about a person who uses Diner's Club? or cash back cards?

Hyatt has their online booking bonus pretty well hidden on their web page. I didn't see it when I went through the site a couple days ago.

I know there is are targeted promos for 10,000 and 15,000. I will go back and add the 1,000 points per stay in my Hyatt calculations since it sounds like over the course of the year a member would probably average that amount for stay bonuses.
