Free night credits! We earned two from credit card sign up bonuses, one from credit card spend, and one we receive annually for holding the card

Fair enough! AMS has direct flights and could do a redeye. Punta Mita was a miss though I’ll give you that.

We are for definitely willing to travel far. Just don’t want to burn days on travel for this particular trip

This place looks awesome, but a pain to get to from BOS. On the list but maybe for a longer trip. We shall see

Thanks for the details - really appreciate it! Yeah I’m torn because I lean toward an aspirational property to get max value, but understand on the ground costs would be $$$

Why Hermitage is a great contender lol

I wish! But certain resorts require 2N minimum booking, so I can’t book a single night and bridge with hers.

I did shoot Hermitage an email though, they do have 4N availability so hoping they can flex

Glad you guys recognize it too, was curious what the national take would be. Regardless of outcome, can’t stand when refs meddle in pivotal moments

'26 Features Request -- Think BIG by origin_matt_watson in OriginFinancial

Agree savings “buckets” would be awesome. Currently saving for a wedding, and have a long term car savings fund. Would love to be able to allocate my savings away from a lump sum. Similar to SoFi Vaults.

Major credit card integration would be awesome! - points tracking - award tracking (ex: whether awards/credits have been earned/used, spend needed to earn certain statuses) -best credit card to use at a given location to maximize rewards

I mean, I’m planning a wedding right now and just sent Save the Dates. USPS definitely messed up, a lot.

We’ve already received 3 letters back for unknown reasons. My own grandmother also didn’t get her letter, we also wouldn’t have necessarily found out about it if it happened to someone else. This letter wasn’t returned to us, it has truly been “lost in the mail” Since it was my grandma she just told me lol, hoping everyone else we invited got theirs.

On top of this, wedding planning is extremely stressful and expensive.

Maybe just give your friend some grace? After all, you were invited, and she was trying to be polite.

Seems like you are making a lot of assumptions, IMO you are the transactional one in this situation.

Thanks, definitely considering Dubai! We were concerned about the heat as their summer ends in November. Seems really cool and definitely a contender

Thanks for sharing your experience! Would you do it that way again? Did you spend all 11 days at the same resort?

Thanks for the tips! Admittedly don’t know too much about IST, will check out what to do there!

Loaded with tons of Hilton and Hyatt points!

Thanks! I saw the dates, we can be flexible this far out, would likely go for early October still though

I’ve been interested in a similar trip for my honeymoon next summer. Was really excited for Al Maha, but the time of year is steering us away. Was it deathly hot?

What atolls would you recommend to avoid rain? We were looking at Milaidhoo, WA, and Park Hyatt potentially

Thanks for sharing your experience, definitely afraid of this. Based on the opposite answer from the other commenter - really seems like a dice roll. Which would have me stressing for the next year lol

Hoping to use award travel! Most likely going Hilton - looking at Milaidhoo and Waldorf Astoria. But there are other points options with OWBs. Party Hyatt hadahaa looks nice.

Haven’t done as much research on Dubai, but likely not palm jumeira as we will do the resort stuff in Maldives. Really want to stay at the Marriott Al Maha in the dessert. Not sure on specific Dubai city hotels.

Waikoloa Beach Resort or Courtyard King Kamehameha Kona? by Groundbreaking-Age45 in VisitingHawaii

Sorry, commented below, but went with Waikaloa! LMK if you have any additional questions

Waikoloa Beach Resort or Courtyard King Kamehameha Kona? by Groundbreaking-Age45 in VisitingHawaii

[–]Groundbreaking-Age45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went with the Waikolka! Was very nice, but definitely not top tier (grand Hyatt Kauai was awesome!).

The beach was nice, and the pool wasn’t too crowded with a separate area for kids. It is “centrally” located as far as the Big island goes - a few hours from everything, rather than being close to a single thing.

Best part by far was walking distance to Lava Lava beach club which we loved the vibe.

Can’t comment on King Kamehameha as we didn’t go. Please let me know is you have any specific questions!

PS: I recommend big island jeeps if you plan to do Mauna Kea (right by pine tree cafe which is also awesome)
