I’d also agree it’s fair to offer 500-1,000 Bonus Points per night after 100. I think the number 100 is significant though and Hyatt opted consciously to cut off Milestones there. Which is why giving Bonus points per night stayed after 100 would be a good option while still officially stopping on 100.

I feel like the current Milestones are sufficient, though I do feel like since 100 is significant both for people as well as for Hyatt. As such I feel like something special should be awarded for hitting 100.

Ideas in addition to the 10k points or TSU -

(1) Premium Suite Award valid for Premium Suites, but excludes “Penthouse” or “Presidential Suites” to keep it within reason.

Bonus $100 Hyatt Gift Card

Category 1-7 Certificate

WOH Parking Pass allowing Complimentary Parking through 2/28 of the following year on Paid Stays for Pass holder only

Complimentary AA Executive Status (I mention this as a Milestone as Hyatt grants AA ConciergeKey Members Full Globalist status automatically)
Yeah, the fact that 100 is "just another 10k/TSU award" also felt a bit odd, now that you mention it. I like the idea of bumping the 100 night award to something like what you mentioned. I think a "choice of the above" would be fair (though I'd probably make the gift card more like $200-250 to balance with the other options...$100/5k points is the offering at 40 nights, after all). Mind you, most folks would likely still go for the "enhanced TSU", the 1-7 certificate, or the parking pass (which one would depend on one's situation at the time and when it happens...hitting 100 nights in, say, August might make the parking pass a slam dunk while hitting it in December would favor the other options, relatively speaking). A 1-7 certificate stands out, too, since when paired with the 1-7 certificate at 60 nights it would potentially allow you to have a nice weekend at one of the high-end hotels without hitting your point balance (or bank account).
