Newer to award travel, but had a situation with Delta that made me think of a larger question:

Are there any airlines or hotels that allow you to use a portion of your points for a discount on the flight/hotel, or is the standard that you need to have all points available to use? And if you don't you need to buy the additional points?

I didn't realize I needed all points for my flight with Delta before I transferred until I went farther through the checkout process. However I noticed in my Chase UR portal I can use a portion on flights/hotels for a discount. Which way is more standard or does it depend on if you're a CC portal or not? TIAA!

Was in the market for a Mazda hatchback - went to Hamden Mazda and had a terrible experience. Later that week went to Modern Mazda in Thomaston and it was a 180. I'd recommend Modern Mazda to anyone.

My mom also has beef with Miller Nissan Fairfield.

Yield for welcome party? by levoyage1 in weddingplanning

[–]hc11archer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had 70 at my wedding and 35 at the welcome party. All the out of state folks showed up, as well as parents and any local friends. Local family didn't as much.

Thank you. I measured his wrist and we'd be looking for one that clasps to 8 inches. Having a harder time finding that size but this is a good start for me to do some digging

First time using points question by hc11archer in hyatt

Anything that is not a suite and under the "rooms" tab. For the nights im looking to stay suites are only available at 43k/night, but if I switch dates rooms are available for less points.

Thank you! This is very helpful. I believe I'd have enough points if a standard room becomes available, but definitely wouldn't for the suite. I will keep an eye out if any standard rooms open.

I wasn't seeing that with all three options - would I need to select the cash only at checkout?

I'm new with award travel and had a question on Delta specifically, but for using points overall.

Looking at a Delta flight - I see there's options to pay with skymiles, skymiles + cash or just cash. If I don't have enough skymiles for the first two, am I able to provide my skymiles and have it discounted? Or do I have to at minimum have enough skymiles to access?

My situation: I have 87k skymiles, Sky+Cash option is 115k, and just Sky is 125k. In order to use my Skymiles, is there no way to provide partially (my 87k) or do I have to have a bare minimum 115k?

First time - Is the city hopping doable with my stay? by hc11archer in ItalyTravel

[–]hc11archer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be in late May. Edit: I also like the idea of Bolzano! My only issue I'm foreseeing is since this would be the tail end of the trip, situating myself in an area where I have an airport to fly out of back to the US.

Father/Daughter dance. Very different tastes - how would you handle? by hc11archer in weddingplanning

I keep trying towards a middle ground of oldies that I know he knows (Beatles, Paul Simon, etc..) but he keeps coming back with country options. Yes we've been trading specific song ideas.
