I have the choice of either using 222k points Marriott points for 6 nights for one stay (earning me 6 Marriott nights and move me closer to lifetime platinum but won’t get me more benefits this year) OR transferring chase points to Hyatt and booking same 6 nights for 102k points (I have 0 stays with Hyatt and no status). Which is better?

Lifetime platinum

Do you have Platinum this year with Marriott? Would the free breakfast/late check out be useful? That’s the bigger differentiator to me.

I would probably use the Marriott points since they’re stuck in the program tbh. I value transferable more

Marriott points are worth are around .5 cents each, which means you are spending around $1110 for the Marriott property. What is the actual cash price? Same question for Hyatt.

I always forget how terrible hotel rewards are.

Depends on how close you are to Lifetime status. If the 6 nights matter, it will be worth it, but if you are still hundreds of nights away, stay at the Hyatt

46 is fairly close, so I would probably stay at Marriott.
