So I'm going to be ~14K short, and have no stays booked until late December...I can find this same $69 rate at the Hyatt in Lisle, IL as well.
If I hop between these hotels at these rates for 6 nights, that's $463.88 out of my pocket (plus the time and gas...each is about a 30 min. drive) and will net me about 44K points total.
If you still want to do mattress runs, book at the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg over the weekend, $75 and as a Diamond you get the 2500 points since the Regency Club is closed.

One weekend night should yield just under 4,000 points each.
