At Hyatt hotels, I always get a good BF, some higher tier properties even has no restrictions to the amount on your check, so you can order whatever you want and pay nothing, tips are included as well.

IMO, if you look into the major four hotel loyalty program, Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, IHG, my preference will be Hyatt -> Marriott -> Hilton -> IHG... Hyatt is hardest to achieve but a better treatment to your loyalty. Hilton & IHG is worthless, only an alternative for me. Even I am a Marriott Lifetime Platinum, that's because I like the deceased SPG program, marriott's support is terrible at least for the 2018, the year of transition.
How would you rate those 4 major chains by the ability to gain the most amount of points and being able to reedem a hotel for least amount.

Right now for me it is IHG then Marriott. I can't really put Hilton in there because the redemption rates fluctuate so much!
