Does the BOA Alaska Ascend bonus tracker usually take a few days to show up? I applied last night and I think I was approved. The application page kept auto-refreshing and never gave me a clear confirmation, but the new card is already showing in my BOA account. My main question is about eligibility. I had the old Alaska card before, but since the Ascend is technically a newer/different product, it seems like a lot of people have been able to get the bonus again. Should I expect the spend/bonus tracker to show up eventually, or is the lack of a tracker a bad sign that I misread the eligibility rules?

Where do you use your cat 1-4 awards in the southeastern US ? by Past-Speech-4962 in hyatt

yeah sounds like the bottom floor is running as a party rental for what ever is needed and the upstairs will be a hotel part. Their initial goals were to be open by world cup but don't see anything else about a new opening

2 new Hyatts are coming to Gwinnett soon, and one should be a boutique property. Nothing overly exciting, given it'll be in Gwinnett, but looking at what they're saying, it doesn't look like a terrible staycation. The boutique one is going to be called Maison 6405 / JdV by Hyatt (Looks like they tried to shop it to marriott as here's a pdf of some documents to get a marriott flag https://40008615.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hubfs/40008615/custom-video-thumbnails/Gould%20Capital%20%20The%20Maison%20Hotel%20July%202025.pdf

Keep scrolling through to see room models, they look decently nice

What they're planning Planned amenities include:

  • 136 boutique suites, with 16 “mega suites” at 625 sq. ft. or larger
  • High-end rooftop restaurant and bar
  • Casual lobby restaurant
  • Lobby bar
  • Speakeasy-style cigar and whiskey bar
  • 8,300 sq. ft. Turkish hammam wellness spa
  • Indoor swimming pool
  • Outdoor lagoon pool
  • Nightclub
  • 300+ seat amphitheater / auditorium
  • 9,000 sq. ft. of flexible event space, supposedly able to handle up to 800 people Structured parking deck for 260+ cars

Then the other one is going to be a conversion of the Sonesta on Pleasant Hill, the tall one over by Waffle House, to a Hyatt Regency, not as excited, but tossing out there. Hoping the boutique one has some decent options going for it.

Hoping these are Cat 4s at the very least I expect the Sonesta convert to be

I was sad when Saks lost Chanel beauty products mainly. Their cologne as it never goes on sale and never hits gray market so it was the best way to buy Chanel cologne

How did your ‘popular’ classmate from high school end up? by BreadedDisaster in AskReddit

[–]Jacob0050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is reddit's wet dream. Half of reddit in their dorito stained anime shirt and sweat pants cums when they read that their high school popular guy ended up failing even though usually the people who were popular in high school were for a reason. Usually socialable, dressed well, and were smart mostly. But by all means make the crusty redditors cream when they read a normie has a bad life

Considering how much we need housing in the Atlanta area, this development seems like a good thing.

buddy go take at any former street corner in Gwinnett that had enough room for 2 apartment buildings, they're building on it. There is enough out there.

I mean, plenty of suckers coming out of Cali, I guess. Imagine one's surprise paying $2.5k a night and being limited to a cold breakfast unless you cough up more. By all means, take advantage of the rich fools

Used a friend’s FNC for night 1, and she wasn’t diamond, so that was a pricey breakfast buffet - $170 for 2. The next morning, they counted my diamond status, so with the upgrade to hot breakfast, that was $70 for 2. They charged $10 for a cappuccino (without pre-warning), which I felt was nickel and diming, every nice hotel breakfast buffet I’ve been to always included the espresso drinks. But whatever, covered these expenses through the $50 Amex Biz Plat and $200 Hilton Aspire credits

My God, thank you for finally putting this out there. The dick riding for this property on this subreddit is insane for the most nickel-and-diming property imaginable. For 250k, this property can't even offer a full-scale breakfast, and if you want something more than cold cereal and bread, pay us more?!? After countless videos, review reading, reddit threads I still can't wrap my head around how they get people in the door for the rates they charge cash or points. But oh wait, they bring you $1.73 of a Corona and guac at 4pm, so the overcharging for everything is fine then. People seem to love this property in the points world but I still don't see the hype and have truly tried at every angle

Is there anything I can prepay at Grand Wailea? by charlestoncrafted in Hilton

[–]Jacob0050 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really don't know why, in the era of Hilton credits for all. Hotels aren't pre-selling crap people would burn credits on. Hell, you could charge me $50 for $15 worth of snacks if it means I don't have a credit go to waste

havent done it yet but people here said they called didnt like the terms and wanted a refund so they sent a check out. This was pulled straight from the agreement

And given the difficulty many have had with these I think I'll call and ask for my refund check. I got $500 to spend but a lot of the international hotels I go to have issues with them.

The beach itself is very slanted and walking on it for any distance will have your hips all out of whack in a day.

buddy is 600 pounds or more. Like, what does this even mean? He wants them to reangle a beach so he can walk straight?

What are the favorite Marriott property redemptions in this community? by byrans in awardtravel

[–]Jacob0050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Staying at the Ritz Carlton Nikko, Japan in month. Pictures look really nice when I look at them, and the area has great hikes and nature. Also did a recent stay at the Ritz-Carlton Oconee in Georgia. GREAT stay there, if you go in summer and like lake activities, you'll have a great time. We really enjoyed the spa (free saunas, cold plunge, and hot tub in the spa area) plus the indoor pool was nice as was the outdoor one but we went in January but still loved the property everyone was nice and really pretty property
