Because now I need a new dining charges plan. I guess I could get an Amex Gold and get 4x over there and then use them at 1.5c for bookings since I also have a Biz Plat. So 6c/$ with some hoops and fees.
Or I could just use my 4% US Bank Smartly.
Hyatt's changes are making me rethink a decent portion of my credit card strategy.
Yes, I put all food and travel on CSR and transfer immediately to Hyatt. I always thought I could trust Hyatt more than Chase not to devalue the points too much (boy was I wrong) and worried that trhyd suddenly stop transfers.
Hence I earned about 800,000 points last yr and spent 500,000 Hyatt ones.
I used to be all in on amex spg and moved everything to chase for Hyatt points.
I absolutely zero loyalty to any airlines. So if Hyatt devalues or makes globalist unattainable/not worth it, I'm not sure where to put my spending
I've never had a good use for amex points and too many of their bonuses are us based spending. Not sure about gold and foreign spending.
I really hope Hyatt doesn't put a speech requirements to reach globalist or level above. Or if they add level above, they don't destroy suites upgrades for the second class globalists. That's the one thing and breakfast that'll cause me to leave
