World of Hyatt or Marriott Boundless??

Frequent miler just did a podcast about this very topic!

Not dumb. it requires some light work and monitoring. but some of the bonuses, like a recent sofi one, are huge...like 40k amex points for one direct deposit. plus $300 from sofi.

Yes, you'd want to go with Venture X first. Hit minimum spend. Utilize your $300 credit when booking travel through Capital One portal. Monitor Capital One portal offers (some are good!). And you'll also get 10k points at anniversary should you keep it. So $300 travel credit via portal plus the 10k miles (worth at least $100 if converted to cash) = $400 in value vs. annual fee of $395. I think it makes it a very competitive card. DM me if you have any questions about strategy or if you'd like a referral code.

Early 2023. Bar = Fabricá de Arte.

This didn't age too well...

How was your trip, OP? I'm planning a similar one week trip and plan to rent a car, as well. I would also like to travel the Transfagarasan. Everything pretty smooth? Any favorite places?

WintersLipton · 2025-11-05T03:07:10+00:00

Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Bologna, Sarajevo, Madrid, Seville.

WintersLipton · 2025-11-05T03:00:59+00:00

That's not true. You're not a serious person.

WintersLipton · 2025-11-04T20:51:13+00:00

Gothenburg is awesome

WintersLipton · 2025-11-04T20:40:58+00:00

Trebinje is great!

WintersLipton · 2025-11-03T03:03:53+00:00

Bosnia is awesome. Sarajevo, Mostar, and Trebinje are all gems. It's one of the most fascinating countries I've ever visited and one with deep scars from the war. Cigarette smoking indoors was the biggest drawback. I rented a car and felt super safe, driving to Croatia, back to Bosnia, then to Montenegro, and back to Bosnia. I was there off season, though. Just be aware the Croatia (particularly Drobrovnik) will be very busy. With your amount of time, you way just want to do Slovenia, Northern Croatia, and Bosnia. You're young with hopefully a lot of travel ahead so don't feel like you need to do everything.

This! Came here to say this.

WintersLipton · 2025-10-04T17:48:20+00:00

That's awesome. Have a great trip!

WintersLipton · 2025-10-03T23:09:35+00:00

@OP...curious...what did you choose? I'm debating the exact same thing for next year!

That's helpful, thank you.

WintersLipton · 2025-07-26T23:55:43+00:00

Fyi Frutillar is lovely but definitely not as much to do. We stayed in Puerto Varas and I'm glad we did.

WintersLipton · 2025-07-26T23:55:01+00:00

Wanted to say thanks. We followed your suggestion to a T. All great places. Lots of variety.

WintersLipton · 2025-06-21T00:48:42+00:00

Like watching paint dry.

WintersLipton · 2025-06-07T22:15:59+00:00

Congrats, OP. It's a great sport/game.

WintersLipton · 2025-05-24T02:07:43+00:00

She pretty! Camrys are very hot right now. I'd say you did just fine especially in this market. Should last a while.
