I hate the deval but it’s probably not sustainable for the St Regis Aspen (I know - not a Hyatt property) to keep giving me 5N stays for free when those rooms normally go for $1500/nt. And the same is true for all the high end Hyatts in Japan, US ski resorts etc. The days of paying 20k night for Jr suites at the Thomsen NYC fka Parker Meridien will be gone too (if not already)
Right now the only spend going on Hyatt is my gym membership. I switched spend to the Sapphire Reserve since the points earning is the same anyway. The only use for the card now is the 5 EQN and FNC.
