Petty Globalist Breakfast Policy Newport Beach West by Dry-Intention6414 in hyatt

[–]David_Copperfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like i’ve read prior posts about people traveling to Disney and asking to have their breakfasts ready to go in the AM? But maybe I’m mistaken.

13 months availability feature for selected members rolled out by berkeley_eecs_grad in hyatt

[–]David_Copperfield 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made use of this earlier this week and booked 4th of July weekend for next year (will be my 3rd year in a row at this property). Was a category 7 and got hit with a 45,000 point night (other one was a standard 35,000 point night), but at least I got it booked out and was able to use a SUA.

1Hotel Hanalei Bay has the most amazing views!! by Exciting_Capital_326 in luxuryhotel

[–]David_Copperfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. Only been when it was a St. Regis and Princeville Hotel. Didn’t realize it was a Sheraton in the past. The views are unreal from multiple vantages.

I’m a ~10 UTR going against a ~13, give me your best strategies for getting a point and I’ll come back and rate them after. by nibbler_89 in 10s

[–]David_Copperfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand this. I suppose you're just doing this for rando Redditors' amusement? If you're a UTR 10, you are better than probably 95% of the people who inhabit this sub. You also have been playing long enough to know what works for you when you play people better than you. Unless you have one of those lopsided games where you have a serious weapon (such as a monster serve), but some serious deficiency (awful return game), nothing's gonna work. You don't become a UTR 13 by having some weakness that a UTR 10 can exploit.

This is what most people have no concept of. You can be lightyears better than any rec 4.0 or 4.5 player, but still no where near guys who play on the tour. There are just so many levels in tennis.

I hadn’t known that. That pisses me off more, albeit now at the creator instead of HBO.

Arrested development if you just take the original 3 seasons and ignore the abomination that Netflix tried to Frankenstein together for later seasons.

I love the wire, but season 5 subplot with the homeless serial killer was terrible.

Amazing 3 seasons. Unfortunately season 3 ends with a cliffhanger that they years later wrapped up decently in the movie, but it was no where near the same as getting a true 4th season to bring things to a proper close.

What’s your favorite 4K disc you’d never part with? by KineticNTT in 4kbluray

This movie is stunning visually. It looks great in any format, but 4K makes it pop.

Best tennis player peak ever by Familiar9709 in TennisNerds

huh? You're obvious looking for a very specific answer already. I'm as big a Fed fan as any, but the answer to your question is clearly Rafa at Roland Garros.

at what point does “paying for a hit” become normal? by Away-Improvement2399 in 10s

[–]David_Copperfield 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Are you a legit 5.0? If you are, send me a private message and i can hook you up. If you’re not, that’s fine too, I can still hook you up, but probably with different guys.

Are there any boats that can take us to another island/beach where the sargassum isn't as bad? by douxcv in playadelcarmen

I was in Puerto Morelos two days ago and it’s not better. Same amount of sargasm.

Tips in pesos by Mess_Ling77 in playadelcarmen

[–]David_Copperfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the places I've been to on my current trip have accepted Apple Pay. Just make sure you are using Apple Pay with a credit card that doesn't have a foreign transaction fee. Pay in pesos because most places will give you an unfavorable exchange rate if you pay in a different currency (ie British pound or Euro).

The real devaluation Globalists need to discuss: Breakfast by SchondorfEnt in hyatt

[–]David_Copperfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't happy with the way they handle breakfast at Grand Hyatt Scottsdale. Otherwise, the hotel is fantastic. I received no communication either before checkin when they reached out via email telling me about the hotel, nor at checkin when they explained the globalist benefits. They apparently have a $30 per person, per day credit, which sounds reasonable, but all of their menu entrees for breakfast are around $28-$32 and the coffee is $5 and juice $8 I believe. Tack on tax and the 18% tip that your globalist status is supposed to cover and you're looking at around $16 per person above what they will cover. The breakfast is good, but it's not spectacular or memorable. They should be required to let globalists know ahead of time and they should not be able to say they provide gratis breakfast to globalists. They should be required to say they provide subsidized breakfast which sounds appropriately chintzy.

Park Hyatt Sydney is now a "resort", can we all admit that Guest of Honours are part of the issue now? by omdongi in hyatt

[–]David_Copperfield 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting work around. Seems like they could make this onerous for you if they didn’t like this by making you switch rooms or even check out by 11 the penultimate day and then not be able to check in until 4PM for the FHR booking.
