We were originally planning on staying exclusively in Hilton brand hotels. But there are a few places where Hyatt hotels are cheaper.
Rooms in Hyatt Place hotels are spacious just like Hilton Home2Suites. Also with Home2Suites, you only get half the Hilton Honors loyalty points that you get for most Hiltons.
Because of Chase’s strict limits on signing up for credit cards, I won’t be able to get a Hyatt card. But at least the American Express Green credit card gives us 3x for hotels.
Thats not quite as good as the 14x we get when we reserve Hiltons on the American Express Hilton Aspire card where you also get automatic Diamond status. But in some places we have found much better value in Hyatts than Hiltons.
