Current promo is 65K for 25 nights. Add say 15 diamond amenity bonuses if you move around a bit and you get up to 80K. If you spend those on C&P in Category 2 that's 20 nights there (80K / 4K)... The cash portion also gets you another 6.5 x 25 x 55 = 9K more points which covers another couple of nights.

So, stay on Cash & Points in Category 1/2 hotels and you can come close to being self sufficient on points, as long as you have enough to get started...

Nice analysis - this is basically my answer, plus bonus spend on the Hyatt CC, plus 5x spend on Freedom transferred to Sapphire transferred to Hyatt.

Curiously I was checking some charges on some recent Hyatt stays on hyatt.com two of which were C+P. In retrieving the invoiced online both the Hyatt and my invoices were generated. Has anyone else has seen this 'feature' recently?

My stays were Cat 2 & Cat 3 (Cat 2, Hyatt paid $35, Cat 3, Hyatt paid $50) as mentioned earlier in this thread. Any chance anyone have an invoice for a Cat 4/5/6 in their online account they could check?

2016 Availability
 
Anyone have any reports of booking points+cash for stays in 2016? Do we even now if the program will be retained for next year?

I have a number of P+C stays booked for 2016, in the US and abroad.

I have several booked for 2016 as well.

I just booked a Sept 2016 c+p stay this morning.

I just can't wait until we can see C+P online. I hate having to call or tweet to find out if space is available.

I for one will be quite sad when P+C rates go online, and you should be too.

This may have been answered in the thread, but i didn't see it in the wiki.

Can I book a C+P room for somebody else like my parents?

If so, would they get guest of honor privileges or is that only for a straight points booking?

FYI According to Jeff Zidell (with Gary Leff on Blab today), C+P online is coming sooner rather than later (but no final release date yet). Check out the replay:

He also said that it would have been out already if other hyatt.com issues hadn't taken precedence. With such a low priority, I wouldn't be surprised to see online P+C continue to be delayed.

I'm pretty sure we see cash and points online before the end of this coming March.

I know we can't see availability online yet, but to save some calls, is it necessary (but not sufficient) for there to be standard awards available, for a P+C to be available?
