Unfortunately we just put a lot of spend on taxes and business purchases planning on Globalist for 2026-27; sunk cost now but we will not do it again in 2028.
Time to burn the 100k points left.
This may be to allow Hyatt to sell more to Bilt - and given more points in circulation, more fuel to burn the pile of points by increasing redemption costs
0.2c Marriott paid 40$ a night and charged me 20k points - the hotel gave me the sheet by mistake.
0.15c Hilton pays this level and so charge a bit more in points now for the high end rooms
Going by this math, I think Hyat pays hotels 0.35-0.4c at the most per point.
Perhaps 0.5c - or they are like SPG and pay 90% of the average rate

Not true; Hyatt may show the property at the medium level and a week later show this (closer to date with more demand) at the high level

2.625c BofA - soon 2.25c, 2c at Fidelity or better either Citi TY with Double Cash or Capital one with venture X
If you want ability to cash out Citi wins over Cap1, as Cap1 can't be cashed out to statement credit at a good value.

From acquisition cost using hotel card 1 Hyatt = 2 Marriott = 3 Hilton
But then if anyone was idiotic enough to use the IHG card 1 IHG = 1 Hyatt
