Can anyone clarify the Hyatt offer? This year it seems you are buying points that are only available for specific categories over a certain amount of nights? 
Or is the example shown, simply a possible way you could use the points?
Maybe I am reading into this too much, but I was hoping to freely be able to use my 24k/30k/40k/72k points as I wanted.

The wording has not changed from previous years. Once the points are in your account, you can do whatever you like with them.

So I believe there's no additional discount for Amex this year, price looks like it includes 20% compared to last few years

But I wouldn't spend a lot more of my own money to keep a lot of points in a Choice account when, at a future time to my liking (even late this year), I can use even a small balance to buy Choice points via the book cash+points & cancel game. If you have as few as 6k points, this can be done without locking up money (in a Choice account) for a long time and hoping not to get hit by a rather sudden devaluation of Choice points when you have a relatively large Choice account balance.

How soon are points deposited into your Choice account ? (from past years' experience)
