If OP can't even find a way to use a free Hyatt night, I doubt OP is going to take the energy or interest to get into the churning game (unless, of course, this is a Hyatt footprint issue).
No reason to waste $95 a year if OP flat out won't use the benefits.

I’ve had a hyatt card since 2015. Originally got it for 2 free nights wich I used for two nights park hyatt vendome paris. Since then, I pay $95/mo but don’t ever use free award night. May go to France/Italy again in 2023. Wondering if I should keep card or just cancel. I’ve kept united cars since it allows access to more flights. Does hyatt card allow access to more rooms?
Uncertain why OP used original 2 free nights and does not use annual free nights (maybe he’s allergic to Cat 1-4 properties
) but it can be inferred (among other possibilities) that OP only stays at higher category Hyatt properties. I merely pointed out that a typical Chase (biz or personal) Hyatt SUB (plus points from minimum spend) is sufficient for at least 2 nights at a higher category Hyatt property, even Park Hyatt Paris Vendome (if they’re allowing point redemptions at the time).This thread is replete with insightful pertinent comments. Although it’s only been a day, it would be sensible for OP to clarify using the original 2 free night but not the annual free night(s) and also his strategy and motivation for the card, then there might very well be additional comments which are even more relevant to OP.

Simple a Cat4 is 15K but its 18K during Peak times, so charge $15k and you end up wanting to go during Peak you will be 3K short.
Just the same if you want < Cat 4 then you need to charge less $$$ but IMO it pays to use the Peak amounts needed so you dont end not having enough when its a Peak period you want to go

The op has not used the free night award that is included in the card since 2015 and we are talking recommending they churn? Haha. I mean, if they aren't even using the freebie then I am guessing they need to cancel and stop paying the fee. Find a card that fits their lifestyle. The annual fee that has gone for nothing in all these years has probably eaten substantially into to the original gain obtained by the Paris stay.
