I have a massive stockpile of MR from my Amex Platinum but aren't planning on using them.  Of course my wife wants to travel to the Bahamar Hyatt which is 185k MR a night, but 23k if I book through Hyatt direct.  Anything I can do here?  Anyone need MR? ha

I've sometimes not got 35% back for even changing a flight. I have sometimes gotten to keep the 5* points when switching it later to redeeming points, but usually that gets clawed back, too.

Other premium cards won’t help you but if at time of purchase it was a platinum card you’re still eligible for return protection, I’ve done it multiple times
