Value of A GP Point

How do you value Gold Passport points? I've been taking a look and for me, I use a rate of $275 per night including taxes as a ballpark figure. This is because of the hotels we frequent and the time of year we travel. I know this figure can be and is much higher for some properties.

For example, we use the Waikiki property in a lower season so the rates aren't that high. IF we were paying, we would, at a minimum, pay for partial ocean view, so the rate would be at least $275.

That comes out to .0183 per point for us without including the value of the diamond upgrade & regency club access. Plus, Hyatt points are hard to come by.

I know that using the Maui or Kauai properties bring the point value even higher.

So, what do you folks think?
