Of course $750, but your logic assumes "all things being equal", which they are not. I don't have the Hyatt card, per your example, and I can't get it since I'm over 5/24. To make this 3x Marriott cost/benefit unreasonable for me, you would need to compare the deal to the alternatives available to
me : ). Besides, I'd rather have $100 worth of Marriott points than $100 worth of Hyatt due to its locations, again a highly ymmv factor.
