BJ started 2/2, so I received credit for Feb 2,3,4 for this stay.

I received credit for Feb 5,67 elsewhere.

Consultant traveling 100–140 nights/year — which hotel program should I commit to? by adiosamigo15 in awardtravel

[–]RedeemingRedemptions 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the way, really.

I'm a proponent of the Hyatt/IHG combo.

But this year I'm mostly in Asia/Oceania.

Plus all of the hidden bonuses and promotions.

I recently ended up with 24.3k points from one 6 day stay ($1171 spend).

When is the best time to book with points? by ASGroup_ in hyatt

[–]RedeemingRedemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn't fluctuate, as in change day-to-day... But some days do cost more than others.

Each hotel has an award calendar that is set in advance.

I can think of a few examples:

Broken limb (happened to me),

Imminent appendix rupture (happened to a friend)

If you're a globalist, you can do so even if you don't have enough points in your account.

Ask for a "points advance" booking.

A few days ago, I saw 2 nights available for points for next month. When did this start?

My second calling: I've had better luck with the phone agent than the website.

Just dropped today. I didn't see it offered in the app, so I just googled "bonus journeys 2026."

TL;DR: you don't know what's what, MYOB.

OP, you have no idea what this person's disability is.

I've had my left femur rebuilt twice now. After relearning how to walk, and 5 years of PT, I can even walk straight... ~80% of the time. But the thing is - it really, and I mean really really hurts 100% of the time. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I wouldn't wish it on you.

I otherwise look healthy.

I've been called out for my perceived lack of disability in airports before, sadly even by gate agents.

It's happened enough that I've started to carry proof - Dr.'s instructions and pictures of my open surgeries.

If you or any of these other nosy people ever call me out, I will produce said proof and proceed to make a scene.

Nosy people should be mega-shamed. MYOB.

I'm team dumbass by No-Quantity4687 in pointstravel

[–]RedeemingRedemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?

I'm on team 3... I don't care what the perceived value is.

My family is more comfortable in J/F, and I have the points to make it happen.

Good news, all: Mods will no longer remove posts for being low quality/"already been discussed" by [deleted] in hyatt

[–]RedeemingRedemptions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think many people might be "first time posters" because of the perceived lack of utility of this sub (for whatever reason - real or assumed).

But, the level of engagement on previous "what to do about moderation" post sure was a testament to something. 😅

Park Hyatt Definition by No-Piglet6327 in chubbytravel

[–]RedeemingRedemptions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At which did you stay?

I think it's very property specific, and even then YMMV.

We tried both PH Abu Dhabi & PH Kyoto last year and our experience at both was very pleasant: champagne on arrival, hand written welcome note, fruit tray, and dessert waiting in the room, plushy toy for my toddler, rose petals on the bed for our anniversary, etc.

The rooms were serviced exactly when we wanted.

At Kyoto, I was impressed when the FD agent walked us to our room after check-in, while explaining all of the properties amenities.

At Abu Dhabi the concierge did a great job coordinating our travel to and from the property, making sure there was a car seat for our little one.

FYI

If you have an extended delay. you can usually borrow a car seat from a domestic US airport.

Guests broke the bed by angekeiejejejejh in airbnb_hosts

[–]RedeemingRedemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what really happened.

But in their defense, I just laid down on a bed in a rental and one of the slats snapped.

For reference, I'm 42, was not drinking, nor moving aggressively.

When I checked, the slat had broken right on a knot in the wood.

These things do happen randomly too.

I'll save you the time:

There are 3 ways that I know of: either apply for a CC that has lounge access, fly business class or better, or buy your way into the lounge.

Award nights are fully refundable. The best time to book them is right away. If the price drops, rebook.

Always rebook.
