So if I cancel my award or cash stay >72 hr in advance I'll pay no penalty? Just double checking before I transfer points from Chase UR to Hyatt.

Does this pass the smell test? Of course reason for the insurance claim would have to meet the criteria for payout of the CSP policy...
I'm not concerned at all about cancelling w/in 72 hrs. If I cancel it will be many weeks in advance b/c I'm going to be in that town (KIhei, Maui) at another location a couple miles away for the two previous weeks. My question is
IF I cancel more than 72 hrs in advance will I incur a penalty? It doesn't seem so.
BTW I always use the CSP card just in case.
Thanks.
