I see Memorial Day weekend ( city view King $223 a night ) ending up over $300 a night when you add resort fees and tax. There is tax on that $265 as the room rate and resort ($42) fee are taxable. 3 nights is $ 911.45
We are going for 10 nights around that time and I'll be using 200k points rather than paying ~ $3100 in cash
As far as getting 2 cents per point don't forget Hyatt has a points deval going into effect on many properties in March............Hawaii is not effected but getting 2 cts/pt may be harder
