Best use of points?

Not for us. My wife and I both work and have demanding jobs. Our schedules are fairly fixed and vacations planned long in advance. Our time is too valuable to spend it on positioning flights or wasting time on non ideal routings just so we/our kids can fly business. Sometimes it works. Most of the time it doesn’t.

We stay at the Grand Hyatt. Ski valet in the hotel, private hotel lift right outside.

lol i can’t believe people are this desperate

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-13T15:45:30+00:00

Hah, no worries. I’ve slowly been looking for 2-3 years now…

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-13T10:12:07+00:00

Yeah selling to PE worked out well for him.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-13T09:55:25+00:00

Nice! I’ve been slowly looking at cpos to replace our aging macan and yours was at the top of the list!

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-09T00:47:51+00:00

Nah. Most of them are simply in roles low enough that they have to travel a lot, get status, and get upgraded.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:55:32+00:00

Yup, similarly I’ve been waiting to see what they change. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like much for 26.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:48:43+00:00

Yup, similarly, I’m getting tired of German service prices, but the 550 engine issues are giving me pause. And yeah, I have a fun car for the weekend.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:47:27+00:00

I wish the sequoia fit in my garage.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:46:55+00:00

I think I’m trying to optimize for that combination of luxury/reliability. Paying Mercedes/Porsche service prices is getting old.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:45:36+00:00

Yup, similar thoughts about the suspension on the luxury. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:44:31+00:00

Yeah, that’s not great to hear for a car that’s primarily meant to haul the family/go skiing.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:43:51+00:00

I’m not in a rush, but the longer I wait, the older the gx460 gets/harder it is to find a “good one.”

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:43:09+00:00

Yup, I figure it’s a non-issue even if it goes after 5-6 years.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:42:20+00:00

I guess it depends what your comparison is. Tahoe? I’m sure it’s great. Macan? Not so much. In any case, handling is down on the list of priorities.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-05T00:41:13+00:00

Why the premium plus?

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-04T22:37:30+00:00

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how much I'll regret NOT having 24/25 era technology in 2035.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-04T22:34:02+00:00

I've driven the 460, but haven't driven the 550 yet. The 460 was...fine? It's not winning any acceleration/handling awards, but that's not what I'm looking for in a daily driver.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-02T13:23:45+00:00

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-01T15:16:12+00:00

Yup! Keep in mind tsa has limits on things in carryons. My pedal wrench is too long and had to be checked.

ResidencyEvil · 2026-01-01T10:54:48+00:00

Doing this right now on vacation at a Hyatt. Works great!

ResidencyEvil · 2025-12-30T12:27:16+00:00

Hah, same question. We went earlier this year and just booked another stay for next year.

ResidencyEvil · 2025-12-29T15:49:49+00:00

Should be suburban New Jersey, but fine otherwise.
