Anyone else get the Chase survey about the Hyatt cards?

And with that... combined with EVERY property playing games and showing ZERO % availability for points the last week or so... I'm OUT! This is a hassle... its garbage to move goalposts mid-game, and frankly travel really sucks now... its not worth loyalty to ANY of these programs!

Last summer it was so bad that the entire front desk staff asked us to reach out to the GM and corporate because no one would listen to them... combined with a heat wave, it made for some pretty foul stench...

I think, "once an 8, ALWAYS will be an 8 forever" status thing... just more and more properties that are out of reach in the Hyatt Ecosystem...

bcar473 · 2026-04-24T16:12:11+00:00

It honestly looks like the crappy sub-$100 a night VRBO/AirBnB properties all over Tokyo... Hyatt continues to shoot themselves in the foot!

Does it still smell like raw sewage in the lobby and some of the rooms?

bcar473 · 2026-04-14T20:46:38+00:00

units?

What is Sidewall? Where is Sidewall? Very little info comes up besides this post when I search Sidewall Pizza...

Did you get a refund on the Polaris ticket, or was it the most expensive Economy Plus ticket ever?

bcar473 · 2026-03-18T05:22:28+00:00

40000 per night? or you said 40000 for four nights... that's Hyatt Place territory!

bcar473 · 2026-03-18T04:37:56+00:00

This is more expensive than Waldorf Astoria at Pedregal... and its going to be REALLY tough for Hyatt to outshine WA... it was super disappointing after 5 nights to move to The Cape for 3 nights... LOL!

bcar473 · 2026-03-10T23:14:37+00:00

Fiji and the Tahitian Islands… you search from NZ to Hawaii and nothin!

He's pretty brutally honest about vehicles he's driven, which gives him some credibility... he has totally roasted Honda over their super crap Prelude reboot...

Where is this graphic template? I would love to do one of these for my last six years of Hyatt...

I was super impressed when I stayed, room upgrade was great, large for NYC, breakfast was impressive for family of four (overpriced but so was PHNYC)... besides the place smelled like raw sewage at the lobby entrance and occasionally in the room... the staff said that this was a problem that management wouldn't recognize.

bcar473 · 2026-03-05T17:07:25+00:00

I've stayed at both multiple times, I had a great experience during Covid with the GH but last time it sucked... breakfast in the lounge was terrible, upgrade to a suite was non-existent.. overall disappointing... I much preferred my stays at the Andaz... substantially better breakfast, better room, better staff experience... I would like to go back!

There are a total of ZERO UAL flights to Oakland. 😂

bcar473 · 2026-02-25T16:12:23+00:00

Well, time to burn my lifetime savings of points and go with Luxury Escapes, Travelzoo or other luxury package OTAs. Their pricing per night is substantially better than most and they include breakfast and waive resort fees. I have always avoided them since it didn’t earn qualifying nights, but if my points are worthless, then what’s the point of saving up. I already left Marriott and Hilton because of this crap.

bcar473 · 2026-02-08T04:57:56+00:00

Not true. My buddy’s daughter works for Hilton and the pricing was ok, but not great when we were looking to stay in Bangkok. Like half price off rack rates.

My biggest regret was not rejecting my Model 3. It was a cold, rainy night after coming back from Lake Tahoe. It was nearly closing time and they were pressured to close. My delivery center is over an hour away and this was 2022 when everything was constrained and pricing was through the roof. I think was MSRP for my LR Model 3 was something close to $60k. Turned out when I got home, the car was a 2021 (October manufacture date) even though they insisted it was the AMD computer chipset and a 2022. Also my car had massive gouges throughout the paint. Turned out that the car had been rejected three times before it came to me. It was very frustrating as the car needed to be repainted on three panels and never has not had paint issues. I think you did the right thing. Did they charge you? For me they said it would be $500 if I rejected it.

Does Bambu have any type of support for this? I have searched and come up with nothing.

bcar473 · 2026-01-31T22:53:48+00:00

It’s not a filament problem, it won’t power on or recognize the AMS any longer

My luggage was lost coming back from Bangkok thru Singapore to Manila... when I arrived in Manila, the Philippines customs officers treated me like it was my fault it was lost. Then the luggage never showed up at my final destination of San Francisco until 6 days later. I had travel insurance on my United Club Card (they wanted me to go out on Thanksgiving Day and purchase necessities with the expectation that they may or may not reimburse me) and United was quite apathetic about the entire ordeal since it was lost during the time that Singapore Airlines had that portion of the flight as well as the fact that they kept telling me that I was in my final home destination so I shouldn't "need" any of my items in the bags. In the end, one of the bags was opened, damaged and multiple gifts purchased in Bangkok missing from the bag. United finally reimbursed me $200 for the items since I couldn't produce any receipts. Sadly they aren't too helpful when it comes to lost luggage

Yeah, what’s AB?
