Depends on the lenght of the stay I guess. But the avarage earning is probably less then 5k points per night or so, considering a 100-150 rate, 50% bonus, double points from a quarterly promotion and stay x/get + next stay bonus and such. Of course with the 10k promo points rates and stuff like that it get's quicker, but with regular earning my guess it's at least 10 nights/stays which is higher then the 5 night hyatt plat and offers less benefits in my opinion (save the 50% point bonus, which is usually a wash compared with additional promo points you get).
