Hyatt GC suggestions

Through a series of events, I have found myself with a ton of Hyatt gift cards that are no good outside the country. This wouldn't normally be a problem but I'm spending a year traveling overseas.
So... I called Hyatt GC people and they said it can't be redeemed online.
Now I wonder, could I redeem over the phone? Though, I doubt it.
As of now, it seems my options are to hold on to them for a year or two (they don't expire) or sell them off.
Suggestions?

I am afraid they can only be used at check-out at the hotel. I did think they could be used abroad, certainly I have used them in Canada.

Yea. They work in North America only.

It looks like selling them, or hanging on to them until you get back to N. America, would be your only options.

Was this through Capital One? At one point they did offer to exchange the Gift Cards for Gift Certificates that are accepted internationally (due to a wording problem in their redemption) - if so maybe you can contact them - not sure if its too late or not though.
