- Points have become laughably low value. 125k points is not worth much.
- 50k Certificates at least for me are hard to use. I’ve only been able to get like $150 valuation typically in the US. All the hotels in desirable locations are 55k+. 35k ones are good for airport hotels.
- Spending on the card for anything but hotels is dumb after the sign up bonus with so many better alternatives
- 15 night credit is nice for accelerating status
- I have endless suite nights and never get upgraded (titanium status) during the pandemic.

Example of how annoying this is.

I have certificate expiring dec 2021 (50k) and expiring dec 2022 (40k).

Just tried to book 1 night next month that’s 40k using my 50k certificate. It’s not even an option on the website and is auto filling my 40k one. In any case, I also owe $31 in resort fees on my “free” Wednesday night stay at a Westin.

You are way better off in general just using chase cards to transfer to Hyatt.

Have the Amex Business version, the new SUBs are great!

Happy to provide a referral for any of the Amex variations

I have the Boundless card from Chase and the annual free night covers the annual fee of the card so I will keep it. I typically use my CSR for everything other than Marriott purchases.

At the core of it, I’m not sure myself and others will ever want to spend BTC, even if fees were negligible.
