Since the Hyatt card gives night credits instead of points, again, UR is the only way to get Hyatt points. Anywhere. And since The best Hyatt properties cost the least of any chain, they're the best deal for hotel points anywhere. Even lower category Hyatts get good value. Next week I'm staying at the Hyatt place LGA. Over $400 a night, but only 12K hyatt points. 3.5 cpp value.

Southwest has a fixed value for their points under 2 cpp. BA has terrible YQ, and on short hauls I'd rather transfer in my Canadian MR, which is the best value north of the 49th. Korean is...complicated. So for me it's Hyatt.
The Hyatt Place at LGA for "over $400 a night"? This property is a Hyatt Place that is worth no more than approx. $150/night. Although you are using points, the dollar value is grossly inflated.
