Thanks for answering

Very true. And for lifetime status, it's strictly base points that count.

If you want a suite on a points stay, it's an additional 6K pts/night.

I've only got 4 more stays for this year to requal for Diamond so once I reach 25 stays, I'll first burn my anniversary night and then burn points (I've got a ton of HGP points) for Hyatt stays. But of course I've still got a few more SPG stays to requal for Plat so I'm favoring SPG at the moment. I've got 2 DSUs remaining and doubt that I'll burn more than 1 of those this year. That being the case, I'll likely burn the last 1 or 2 in Jan/Feb 2016.
