Anybody know any particularly cheap Hyatts for potential mattress runs or holiday ideas?

Very meh in my opinion. I mean, there is no real value here, other than a small bonus for stuff you were going to do anyway. For me, the main point of promos is to generate extra value to the customer that incentivizes more stays. EVEN IF I could spend $50 all in per night, it is still $250 for 1 category 4 night. I mean, I am generally, with few exceptions, better off spending the money and paying for a stay, and getting points/stay/night credit, rather than getting the free night. Most category 4 hotels are 250 or less, so there is no real value here unless you were already going to stay 5 nights and are getting it as a bonus. This says nothing for how worthless 5k points are for 5 nights stayed.
Man, people clamor for FFN to return, and eventually we get this? I get the argument that you don't want to give people a top category night for 2 nights in a lower category hotel (I get it, but completely disagree with the logic and the argument). This however, is pitiful. You add a 7th category, then give only up to a measly category 4 after FIVE nights? Jeez. If it was say, 3 nights, I would be A LOT more interested...it would create value for me, and drive me to spend some more money at Hyatt and would still drive business to Hyatt. This though? No thanks. Quite pathetic. The same promo as last quarter, with a pitiful little attachment.

I'm staying 22 nights in Hyatts over Christmas/New Years. I guess these promos are designed for non-high season.
Good promo. Everyone should sign up if they have reservations during this period already.

I wouldn't go out of my way to stay 20nights if I had nothing planned, or go for any of those first 5nights. But I had 10+ already planned, so that 15 or 20 level might make me stay a little more.
The free nights doesn't seem as attractive. Cat 4 and only valid for a few months.... Bonus points make a lot more sense to me. But that's because I'm aiming for the 15k bonus at least.

This really has the potential to make it a lucrative promo, depending upon whether C&P turns out to be readily available at some of the properties where I have points-only stays booked.
