I tend to get $0.004 - 0.005 per point at least. But on flipside, you earn tons of ppd if you ever actually spend.
With this current quarterly bonus, for example... I can stay in conrad LV for 2 nights for $250 (using $250 aspire resort credit to pay that... so I'm $0 out of pocket. Though I did pay the $450 AF for the $250 resort credit, $250 airline, status, and a free night certificate..), receive $100 food/beverage credit for the 2 nights, receive 1kpts (for conrad)+2k pts (this quarterly bonus) + 5k points (20X base for diamond) + 2500 points (+10X base for this quarterly) + 3500 points (14X on aspire, though IRL I'd probably take the UR points and throw it on my CSR).
So, I use up the $250 resort credit, and for that I get 2 nights, $100 food/beverage, and 14000 points (worth about $70 minimum) for later. Not too shabby to have 28% "earn" of points from the stay. They also gave me suite when I stayed there last year. Do you get anywhere near 28% points value in earn rate at Hyatt?
I've never "work traveled", so Hyatt top status's are wayyy off limits for me, while Hilton effectively pays me to have Diamond thru Aspire... so that does also add some to the Hilton side of pros/cons for me.
But even ignoring the much-more-difficult-to-obtain-status, I've struggled to find even 1.5cpp value from UR->Hyatt and have never actually redeemed at Hyatt yet, despite going through ~1M UR points and always checking Hyatt redemption options before ending up booking with Hilton 95% of the time since it's been cheapest for me...
Are you someone who is staying at park hyatts or something, and that's how you're consistently getting "better points value", by paying >$500 worth of points per night?
That resort credit is aggravating af, only good certain places. but still for me works out with free night+airline credit (which is still flexible for now)+resort credit+status
I personally value the $250 resort credit at maybe $150, airline $250 credit at $200 (still converts to Southwest Airlines credit, which now never expires), and the free night certificate at $200. That works out to 150+200+200 = 550 for 450 AF and I get diamond. Surprisingly, I've found recent Hilton points redemption of higher value than they were a few years ago when they moved to this dynamic points valuation, and actually do better than the 0.4c per point with my actual redemptions usually >=1c. But 0.4c per point is my valuation on them still as I still have a lot of unused hilton pesos. I also used 6 free night certificates earlier this year in NYC for base rooms that were 300-700 cash price per night for the base rooms that were reserved (and cheapest available "hotel" during stay would have been around 250/night. excluding outside of city or hostels), and most of them were upgraded to suites.
The 28% points $ value earn in the example was based on paying the cash rate for a 2 night stay there, booked slightly ahead, on non peak nights.

For customer service I have found Hilton to be superior, I've had a few issues with Marriott not making up for poor service in one area or another.
It's hard to say one is better than the other when there is so much variation from one Courtyard vs another or one Hampton vs another. I'm in the northeast and my colleagues in the southeast almost unanimously prefer Hilton, so I am not sure if it's regional.
