AMEX MR points to Hyatt?

I thought you could only use AMEX MR points for certificates at Hyatt and not transfer points directly into a Hyatt Passport account. Am I missing something here?

If I do a calculation for the certificates, It is pretty expensive considering I have to pay 25,000 AMEX MR points for a 1 night Premier Level stay. This cost works out to be more expensive than transferring 21,000 AMEX MR points to *W netting 7,000 *W points for a category 3 stay. Am I seeing this wrong or just missing something.
