Starting in July 2021 Hyatt will implement the Off-Peak & Peak point awards redemption which means a Cat7 property during Peak season will require 35K points so I would lose out 5K.

I should have thought of this when I received the Twitter response to see if 35K was a solution given this reason, or do you think that is tacky?
You can also use Suite Upgrade Awards on a point stay but not on a certificate stay...
