# Hotel Points Deal Tracker: alert me when points beat cash
A redemption is only a good deal when the cash rate is high relative to the fixed points cost. That moves day to day. This skill watches the live cash rate for the stays you care about on a schedule, divides by the award points cost to get cents per point, and flags the moment the value crosses the threshold you set, so you burn points when they are worth the most.
## When to use this skill
- Someone wants to monitor a points redemption over time, not just check it once.
- They want an alert when a Marriott, Hilton, or Hyatt award becomes a good deal (cash rate up, fixed points cost unchanged).
- They are holding points for a trip and want to know the right week to book.
- They want a running record of a property's cash rate and its cents-per-point so they can spot a spike.
Not for: a one-time cash-or-points check (use `apify-hotel-points-value`), booking the award (you book in your program), or pulling your points balance.
## How it works
The value of an award stay is `cash rate / points required * 100` in cents per point. The points cost is fixed for World of Hyatt (a published award chart) and moves slowly for dynamic programs, while the CASH rate swings with demand. So the signal is the cash rate: when it rises above `threshold cents per point * points`, the redemption clears your bar.
The Google Hotels Actor supplies the live cash rate, and Apify runs it on a schedule and stores each result, which gives y
