I agree. I think redeeming them for Cat 1s is probably the way forward. India apparently have some of these properties so that's something for me to consider. This is crazy because I could have swear I read somewhere in the past that Hyatt had something similar to Marriott and Hilton where if I redeem points for a 4 or 5 night stay, I'll get one free. I was planning to use it for that purpose.
I wouldn’t count on India as Covid is pretty bad there AFAIK.

Haha, I’ve never heard that about Hyatt. I was shocked when I tried the first time, but accepted it. But with the 25% back it is essentially Stay 4 Get the 5th Free on Points (actually a little bit better as you get the rebate on the 5th night as well!).

What are you planning to do then? I think for my situation as stated before and combined with a B3G1NF offer, paying cash seems unbeatable to me.

Will Hyatt make it easy to keep track of the nights that will rollover into 2021 so that I won't get that confused with nights I earned from my Chase Hyatt card?

Is it safe to make speculative booking right now even though registration for the rollover EQN offer isn't active yet? I want to take advantage of some of the promotions like pay 3 get 1 free offers. I hope all reservations made before registration will qualify. Sucks that Hyatt won't activate the offer until October 1st.

25% back is getting the 4th night free, not the 5th (and better if your stay isn't a multiple of 4).

If you stay a total of 5 nights with a 25% Rebate you would receive the total of 125% of 1 Night’s Cost back.
Here’s the breakdown (we’ll do a Cat 2) -
Night 1 - 8k Cost - 2k Back (25%)
Night 2 - 8k Cost - 2k Back
Night 3 - 8k Cost - 2k Back
Night 4 - 8k Cost - 2k Back
Night 5 - 8k Cost - 2k Back
Total Cost After Rebates - 30k Points
If you had a Stay 4 Get the 5th Free it would be a Total Cost of 32k Points After Rebates. Meaning the 25% is better than a Stay 4 Get the 5th Night Free, not equal.

Does anyone here has any experience how long it takes to get the 15% or 25% of the redeemed points back? After not getting anything back one week after check out I enquired at Hyatt via Twitter how long it might take. The answer was 4 to 8 weeks. Seems rather excessive.
