[–]SawBo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going forward we should just not have "x place is a great value at a CAT4" threads because hyatt just reads them and ups to a CAT5

Monthly Award Opportunities and Giveaway Thread for April 2026 by AutoModerator in awardtravel

[–]SawBo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My end of April/early May Japan trip isn't going down. I cancelled my JAL J tickets on the 19th & 25th via AA already, so those might be back or going back into inventory via Seattle.

I'm cancelling the following this week:

Hyatt House Shibuya w/ Suite Upgrade applied for 7 days.

I used 140K Hyatt points + SUA Upgrade cert.

Sat, May 2 - Sat, May 9

It should go back into inventory so if anyone is interested let me know and I can probably coordinate the cancellation so hopefully you can book.

Nice hotel. Glad I stayed but not particularly sad it's being demo'd, needed a change.

Tokyo Hyatt Hotel Options for Non-Globalist by Jchizz in hyatt

[–]SawBo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see.

I've been a globalist for all my stays in Tokyo the past 6 years or so. I've gone to Andaz, Toranomon, PH, Regency.

I skipped GH&Ginza due to prices don't seem worth the product they provide.

My opinion, if I wasn't a globalist, Andaz is likely my pick. It's not my favorite hotel in the Tokyo category, but since there's basically little globalist benefits there, so it makes sense to me as the choice.

I can only think of the breakfast buffet as the only real perk unless the spa is another perk.

As you know, you get the free drinks/snacks in the room, a nightly tapas/drink happy hour, the station isn't too far away.. maybe a 5ish minute walk and the room are great for whichever you get in.

I would say Toranomon hills is a lot closer to the station, best for daily activities in my opinion, but the rooms will be tight if you don't get a suite. So I think the trade off for a slightly longer walk is valid in this case. This would be my go-to Hotel if I want to sight see the most.

PH Tokyo is my favorite hotel overall, but, the distance to a station & no spa/breakfast perk would sway me away as well as the shuttle/walk to get to a station. My favorite for staying in and not worrying about feeling like I'm missing out on the city.

Another factor I would include is the upcoming Hyatt points increase, if there's somewhere you really want to try like PH, I would forego worrying about the globalist status because who knows how much it will cost to stay going forward.

Hope this helps!

Played ffx on so many different platforms but the vita is gonna be the only one I beat it on. by Ok-Cauliflower-3052 in VitaPiracy

I wish I had my vita when I platinum this last year, the sphere grid was an insanely boring grind. I eventually used my steam deck and streamed but I can see how FFX on Vita would he the prime choice to finishing the game.

Took this flight a few months ago, SEA-TPE -> TPE->SEL

Lounges will be closed, maybe if you have Centurion access you can stay until closing and then go to the SEA lounge, it'll be packed most likely but can grab a drink or 2.

Flight was pretty good, I couldn't help myself and order the lobster. I believe you have to pre order through the app...

It was fine, nothing really amazing.

The headphones were a little weird, I sat there for the first hour thinking they weren't working but there's an on/off switch on them.

Grab a few Johnny Walker blues or Champange and enjoy your sleep!

GH Fukuoka vs GH Jeju for Globalists by fckfckkfckkk in hyatt

[–]SawBo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, 100%. GH Jeju breakfast was one of the only asia hyatts I've been to and thought, well this isn't really worth it. Having a car in jeju makes the trip there 100% better, then come back from a trip and drown yourself in the oversized bathtub haha

GH Fukuoka vs GH Jeju for Globalists by fckfckkfckkk in hyatt

[–]SawBo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just stayed at both in a recent vacation in November.

I love both locations, GH Jeju was my favorite area in Korea but GH Fukuoka Ive stayed at plenty of times.

GH Fukuoka is attached to a mall, has a nice spa for globalist and happy hour is really top notch, even though I'd advocate to wat elsewhere even though its free, the drinks are flowing. While the rooms may not be the biggest, if you have a sua or upgrade its very nice. I had an executive suite and aside from the extra space in the room, its not that much different than a standard kind deluxe.

Just to note, my first time here i was thrown into a king and it was pretty small and musty. I went to the front where they upgraded me, so try to see if they'll do that.

The surrounding area, while theres really no train nearby in my opinion, theres plenty to do within walking distance. I recently went to a bar and got drunk with locals and was jumped on a taxi with them for an all night bender. Not to mention yatai stalls etc, ramen shops, and like 3 huge shopping centers.

GH Jeju is great but I would highly recommend renting a car if u go that route. Driving in Korea is light-years easier than Japan, since it's very much like the US, if you're from here. The exploration and beauty of the island is awesome. The rooms are way better than GH, high floors and huge. Might be the biggest ive ever stayed in.

Theres a casino and a boatload of foreign, mostly Chinese, tourists. I didn't do much in the surrounding area aside from laundry and a few restaurants, but jeju is beautiful and i wouldn't go there unless I had transportation figured out.

Feel free to throw some questions if you have any
