So subtract out May, June, July, August and September which are obviously the peak travel months and you’ll get the rates we’re seeing as well, I wouldn’t be caught dead in Texas in the summer. The same could be said for any of the cities listed above, which is still a majority of the year traveling (7 months).

We stay January to April (which rates are $50-$75) and October to December which rates are $55-$75 in Dallas specifically (north Dallas like Addison area or Las Colinas).

Things may have changed.

Fast track program to reach Globalist
I was not aware but apparently the corporate fast track program worked on current Globalist members, as I read somewhere that this won't work if you are already a Globalist member.
Applied for the offer end April and just reached 20+ nights last week, got an in-app update congratulating me reaching Globalist and showed my status to Feb 2024. My nights so far is at 39.
I will continue on the Hyatt stays planned for 2nd half of the year to reach 60 nights anyway to get the SUAs and FNA Cat 1-7.
Check if your company has an agreement with Hyatt on this program, basically need to stay 20 nights within 90 days once you activate the offer.

I was occasionaly doing 1 night stays in Madison, WI (Verona) to visit family over the past 2 years. The rate was usually around $88-98 per night. Now, it shows $128 through the rest of this year. Did I mention its a Hyatt Place? Things are getting whacky

Some of the Hyatt hotels around DFW community would be bookable at those levels even before 2020. At least for a bit after 2015, some people would still choose Hyatt hotels around Dallas for mattress runs because the rates during off-peak dates were a great combination of low and convenient.
I can probably pretty cheaply get Hyatt Globalist again, but I just have doubts it would be convenient or all that useful for me. If a good promo comes about for me, I will perhaps revise course in early 2023.

Things have changed, for sure. And that's also such a niche market, it's unfathomable that someone would try to extrapolate that out and imply it's the norm or is a common situation.

I’m still partially confused why we are talking about Texas properties that are sub-$80s. If one wants to qualify that way, so be it. I mean why not say we can get $40 rooms at the Excalibur. People go to Vegas for business as well. Lots of sub-$80 rooms there. And if we really need to mattress run, might as well do the a rustic checkin for $80.

I'm at 31 nights YTD and have reservations in August and November that will get me to 47. I'm still contemplating if I want to book an additional 13 nights to reach 60 for the year. I think I will do it but with the increase in prices its not as attractive as in previous years.
