If it was Hyatt, you should definitely do it, but I suspect it was Hilton. Combine that with their current FFN promo, and that four nights could be worth five free nights in any Hyatt in the world. I'd certainly pay for four nights at the local Hyatt Place, in exchange for five free nights at any Park Hyatt in the world.
Again, I doubt it was Hyatt.
