This is just something that I'm thinking about. Are you pursuing LT status? It's a heavy price no matter what since it's based on LT spend. I guess not everyone here is pursuing LT status as they rather redeem points and enjoy their benefits now?

I'm heading to Bangkok next week. Just got my WoH Visa from Chase. Thinking of trying out Hyatt since there isn't any reason for me to add anymore nights to Marriott and Hilton for 2019. Those are my two main programs and I'll be prioritizing them once 2020 starts.
