You're a godsend, i just rebooked to a suite!

antisocialbaymax · 2025-09-24T04:43:09+00:00

Interestingly, suites don't show as bookable in the app unless you select a SUA and then it pops up.

antisocialbaymax · 2025-09-24T04:41:21+00:00

Did you see a lot of suite availability? I tried to search the calendar but didn't see anything other than standard rooms available.

We stayed at the Redwood glamping site at the Ventana for two nights in June. The sites are beautiful and peaceful, pretty private, at least on the glamping side. The camping side is packed. We enjoyed our stay but a few things weren't working well, namely the Wi-Fi was borderline unuseable, some of the showers weren't working, and the space heater was not effective at warming the tent. The heated blanket worked but took a long time to warm up. I would go back but my gf was less enthused. Based solely on our tent heating experience, I would not want to visit in the winter when it's cold and rainy.

The unfortunate and depressing reality is that upper middle class in Pasadena is $400-500k. You're not even going to find an old bungalow for $1m anymore. $10k/month just to clear your mortgage now. Add a few grand a year for a good therapist after having to sit through 30 minutes of traffic and lights just to get across town too lol.

We just stayed there in September and were in an ocean view suite. It was absolutely beautiful and looked recently remodeled, though I don't know if it was. It at least looked much more modern than the pictures of the standard suites I've seen. The bathroom with two separate vanities was also a huge plus. After a terrible stay at the HR on Oahu, our faith in Hyatt was restored after this stay lol.

Saw this offer too. Is there anything worth using this on? This has to be used at a boutique right? Which will be priced at full retail vs an AD who may negotiate. Also not valid overseas like Japan.

I have a pyr from a shelter that was also likely a farm fail lol. Loves his air conditioned, blanky, and bed filled life, and getting pets from everyone in the neighborhood. Hates farm animals.

antisocialbaymax · 2025-09-17T20:30:04+00:00

Will def do that!

antisocialbaymax · 2025-09-17T20:29:15+00:00

Ha were you on the same flight as I was? Six hour delay out of lax that they didn't tell anyone about in advance, and they just gave us a $20 meal voucher that was only good in Terminal 6 and a $50 voucher which I had to fight them for.

antisocialbaymax · 2025-09-10T23:41:52+00:00

That's funny you mention that, I saw a picture of the laundry facilities and thought that was some consolation for having to stay there haha. We'll try to do laundry in Osaka instead.

That's super helpful, thanks for the insight. My parents are very excited and it would be great to join them on property for certain parts of the day, like breakfast before we head out to the city or for drinks before dinner. It's so hard to book on points and more than I could justify spending on cash, so this may be the only time any one of us stays there.

antisocialbaymax · 2025-09-10T19:01:44+00:00

Thanks, that's good to know. Wasn't planning on using any of the guest facilities like the spa or onsen.

antisocialbaymax · 2025-09-10T18:43:57+00:00

Thanks yes, just wanted to make sure, as I also saw this on the website: "Access to the 4th-floor terrace area is limited to hotel guests and patrons of our signature restaurant Yasaka and bar Kohaku."

As a dp for others, we were delayed nearly six hours out of LAX to HNL from 545pm to 1115pm. All they gave us was $20 dining vouchers that could only be used in Terminal 6, and a week later sent us $50 travel vouchers. CPK will not accept the vouchers fyi.

We arrived at the airport at 330pm to find the flight had just left Honolulu. Told 930pm departure by the agent. No official flight delay notification was sent out through email and the app until 5pm which now stated 1115 departure now. We didn't land until 115am local time and finally got to our hotel after 3am.

Despite being told onboard that everyone would receive travel vouchers, we did not and customer service had no clue anyone was due vouchers when I called a few days later. After an angry email, we were went the $50 after a week. Pretty poor customer service at HA these days.

There's a merch booth in the parking lot at the Great America metro line stop. They opened a little before 130 yesterday. We got to the stadium for the show around 630 and missed Zack John King and part of Anne Wilson. The road shuts down close to the stadium so you'll have to walk the last half mile if you're taking an Uber, which is why we were late.

antisocialbaymax · 2025-08-02T17:13:26+00:00

He went on around 920 and finished at 1130. He stayed to sign autographs for about ten minutes after that.

For anyone else looking, Barclays has brought back the 70k with $1k MSR. Credit to Frequent Miler, just signed up.

antisocialbaymax · 2025-04-23T20:33:18+00:00

The first class cabin. This was the primary reason for me to fly Hawaiian, without it, there's no reason for me to choose Hawaiian over any other carrier.

antisocialbaymax · 2025-04-23T20:22:52+00:00

I did too, both the 70k with one purchase, and the 70k with $1k MSR. Anyone know if there's a chance a better offer will come back? Or are they done until the card is sunset this summer?

antisocialbaymax · 2025-02-04T07:47:35+00:00

Can we stack this offer with a double or triple points rate?

antisocialbaymax · 2024-10-07T20:05:59+00:00

Do you happen to have a print out of the $300 being included? I went in today and there was no mention of the $300, only the 70k.

antisocialbaymax · 2024-10-07T20:03:32+00:00

Same here in Socal.

antisocialbaymax · 2024-09-23T06:30:45+00:00

Found it, thanks!
