That’s a reasonable fear, probably shared by Hyatt. Hyatt wants time money to continue to flow from Chase, so they will negotiate hard to keep the current exchange rate. Which in turn will force repeated devaluation of Hyatt redemption.
Hyatt’s unusually flexible points combining policy is my favorite way to pool Chase points among family members. There’s never a stranded point.
