Interestingly, the best general way to earn Hyatt points imo is actually with a Chase Sapphire, which has solid earn rates on travel and dining and allows you to transfer those points to your World of Hyatt account.

If anybody has found a better system for hotel stays, I'm all ears.. but I think that's currently the best option.
