chase switch and bait

[Anonymous]

Look for Hyatt hotels in categories 5 and higher.  That will give you the same redemption value (or above) over two nights.  I think there is a Park Hyatt resort in California which looks pretty nice.  Perhaps that's a candidate?  Just watch out for resort fees though...  I used my free nights for two nights at the Park Hyatt New York.  Totally amazing hotel and location.  I highly recommend it.  It was an amazing vacation, I got to see a lot of amazing shows (check out the app called TodayTix for cheap last-minute tickets--highly worth it for a lot of different locations if you like broadway/theater; I saw the Book of Mormon for $100), eat lots of delicious food, and had outstanding service at the hotel.

So you applied for a Hyatt travel card, but have no idea where any hyatts are ??   Why did you apply for this card ? Sorta confused on this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, OP, but I think OP's point is that he got the Hyatt card with the intention of staying at Hyatt hotels when he travels within his home state, and it sounds like those would be hotels where the 40,000 point offer is a better deal.

There is no right or wrong answer as to which offer is better.  For some like myself the 2 free nights works great like it did for the Park Hyatt in Sydney in December.  For others who have no plans to stay at a Category 5 location then they probably can make better use of the 40K points.

btw, I believe the correct term is bait and switch,  As in they draw you in with the something (the bait) and then swich it to something else.  Not sure how someone can swith you then bait you. lol.

If you really want to pursue the 40k points over the 2 nights go into a branch and show the screenshots. A banker can then email them to their backoffice who will make the switch for you. But I would just double check if that's what you really want, because as many others have said in many situations the 2 nights may be worth more than the points.

I checked and most of the properties I want to stay at is 20K a night anyway. If I ever decided to just crash at a 8K points hyatt, then that's the flexbility i'd like over 2 nights.

So, are you keeping the 2 nights?
