I have a system too that I am going to use in 2018 (as I already have companion pass for 2017):
1) Get a Chase Sapphire VISA card to get 100,000 points for yourself
2) Get a Chase Sapphire VISA card for your spouse (or any family member) to get another 100,000 points
3) Combine the points (you can do that) and then transfer them to Hyatt
4) I might be a few thousand points off somewhere, but you can convert the Hyatt points to Southwest points and will have enough for a CP.
The downside is, you have to pay $495 a year for the card -but you get $300 off travel, free priority pass lounge access, and a few more perks.
NSX do you agree this is a valid method too?
