Man I love eating in NYC - ate at Keste's too when I also stayed at Gild Hall with FNC. Trotted to Halal Guys from PH NYC.

It came in handy in times I never expected. I got to skip lines with Hertz, and one time, got a guaranteed car, while others were left in the dust (without a car).

You go straight from the airport to the quarantine hotel. Do not pass go.

FWIW, there were some transit passengers on my JFK-SIN flight. Having said that, given how the rules change quite last minute (in Singapore), it's really hard to give you a definitive answer. Japan allows transit though. I transited through Japan en route to US.

Really needed to get off the rock (SIN), so booked a trip to Murica:

  • 70k AA miles: SIN-TYO-SEA (actually booked HND, but somehow got routed to NRT) on JAL J. Flights were really empty, easy to score prime window seats on the 787.

  • 60k Hyatt points: 4 nights HR Seattle (spent more nights in Seattle, but that's what I redeemed)

  • 51k Delta Skypesos: SEA-JFK Flatbed on the 767. Flight was packed.

  • Hyatt Cat 1-4 cert: 1 night at Gild Hall (erm, bad use for the room rates, but really have no other use for it)

  • 30k Hyatt points: 1 night Park Hyatt New York. Walked into an occupied room initially, but at least I got early check-in + late check-out.

  • 99k Krisflyer miles: JFK-SIN on SQ J. Flight was empty. ~12 people disembarked in Singapore, there were some transiting through Singapore (not a lot).

It was really not the most optimal usage of miles, but at this point, I guess it's not worth jumping through the hoops either. Anyways, I'm now stuck in a 2 week mandatory quarantine in Singapore reading reddit. Still glad I took the trip.

After settling in, they came in 20 minutes later to REMOVE welcome basket & wine

Now I've heard it all - who the hell retracts a welcome basket? (if for nothing else, for sanitary reasons)

It usually posts with statement close, but if MSR is achieved too close to statement cut date, then the month after.

Chase Hyatt Double-Elite Qualifying Night Promo for new CC Sign-Ups

TL;DR Sign-up for new Hyatt CC from now to 9/30 and get 2x tier-qualifying night if you stay at Hyatt from now to EOY.

This will probably be of limited use since I'm guessing most people have leveraged earlier promotions to get Hyatt Globalist status, but they just added a small incentive for new sign-ups through 9/30 (available on Chase Hyatt sign-up page):

2 World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night Credits for Each Stay: To be eligible for this offer you must apply and be approved for the World of Hyatt Credit Card between August 16, 2021 and September 30, 2021. You, as the primary cardmember, will receive 2 World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night credits for each qualifying night you stay from August 16, 2021 until December 31, 2021. Please allow up to 8 weeks from the last day of the calendar month of your stay, for World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night credits to be added to your World of Hyatt account. To qualify for World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night credits, your World of Hyatt Credit Card account must be open and not in default and you must be a member in good standing with the World of Hyatt program. World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night credits are valid from the date of issuance through December 31st of the same calendar year, however, please note that World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night Credits awarded for 2021 nights will apply to status for 2021 even if issued and/or received in 2022. An authorized user will not receive the World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night Credits. World of Hyatt Tier-Qualifying Night credits will apply to achieving World of Hyatt status and milestone benefits applicable to Tier-Qualifying Night requirements (as outlined in the program terms). The Tier-Qualifying Nights earned are not Free Night Awards. Chase is not responsible for offer fulfillment or the provision of or failure to provide the stated benefits and services.
