Math is similar in Northern California where rates are always high.
However there are locations that offer Day Rates of $75 + tax so about $80/day.
  • So roughly $800 for 10 EQN x2 = 20 EQN.
  • But again this is for Diamond aka Globalist Light, no? Because you won't get TSU with only 20 nights.
  • Is Globalist Light for 2 years worth $800?
  • To be fair I would earn 800 x 15 points (3x promo + Explorist + Hyatt card) = 12k Hyatt points which I value at $240.
  • So maybe the real question is Globalist for 2 years worth $560??
Seems like a good investment just for the waived parking and resort fees, much less the free breakfasts. Esp. as I just paid $160 in resort fees for 2 rooms + $40 parking for a weekend stay.
