So even in that scenario I would save it does matter much that’s a lot of savings. In this case I’m assuming since it’s a Category 1 Property you’d use the 5k points rather than pay the $100+ Average daily rate.

Just because a Glob stays at a HP doesn’t mean they’re not getting benefits.

I do completely agree that Globs can exercise more benefits at properties that are not HP/HH though.
Note that the rule is that Globs get free parking (self or valet, both if both are offered) on any points stay or (Hyatt issued) free night stay at any Hyatt family brand, but we do not get free parking when we pay for the room with money.
