Are there any other best ways/ other best credit cards offerring points which can convert to the most Hyatt points ?

Thanks for sharing your experience.
There a LOT of Chase cards that you can get to transfer to Hyatt. Since you have awhile, you could potentially get all of them - just don't go too crazy since it's the same bank and we're talking about your credit:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred 50k
- Chase Ink Bold 50k
- Chase Freedom 30k
- Chase Sapphire 25k
- Chase Ink Classic 25k

180,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points just in signup bonuses after you transfer out of Ultimate Rewards, and not to mention the points you'll earn by hitting the minimum spend (over 10,000!), and the 7% dividend at the end of the year from the Preferred card... You're looking at 8 or 9 nights in a top category Hyatt that could be valued at over $9,000

Enjoy your trip

That is not true. They are only valued at $625 if you book travel through their booking engine which is a very very low valuation for Ultimate Rewards points. You can transfer them to numerous travel partners like United or Hyatt and easily receive over $1,500+ in value.
