Even with peak pricing, Hyatt points are much better for the earn/burn game than Marriott points are. So long as Chase offers competitive credit cards, Hyatt hotels will be the best value point hotels. 3x Hyatt points on dining/travel is the equivalent to like 6.5x Bonvoy points on dining/travel. That's more than the top tier Bonvoy card rebates on even co-branded spend.
