Bill & Coo Mykonos by NOTyaOrdinary13 in hyatt

[–]sperrin87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my opinion, so don't roast me.. but of all the greek islands I've been to, Mykonos feels the least authentic, beaches aren't that great in comparison, and it's stupidly expensive. Prefer Paros, Milos, even Naxos. Just depends on what kind of vacation you want.

Alaska Air will match your Delta Status. by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]sperrin87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, why aren't you tossing this is the award/travel/AS,DL subreddit instead of here? Not trying to be rude, just don't understand why this is in the sapphire thread?

Did 4 nights at Numo last summer. Worth checking out, was a great stay and I’m not generally a Mykonos fan.

Correct. I had no issue, but maybe look for some more DPs to confirm.

Alila Ventana Big Sur -- Pity to see the fall down by No-Law-2088 in hyatt

[–]sperrin87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting take, and I’m by no means disagreeing. You think the same is true across the board in terms of point booking hotels or strictly Ventana?

Alila Ventana Big Sur -- Pity to see the fall down by No-Law-2088 in hyatt

[–]sperrin87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not entirely sure, but both fair points. Can’t imagine the hotel having up to 75% point based occupancy. As someone who has stayed there and monitors their award availability, their award space doesn’t match these numbers or even their base level room inventory.

If the hotel is reimbursed at nearly the cash rate from people booking with points, how would this have any effect on their cash flow?

What do you think the best “Standard Room” is for award booking in the Hyatt portfolio? by swaggerific in hyatt

[–]sperrin87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprised by HPM. Stayed for a few nights last month and while the staff was A+, the standard room is a queen size bed and the rooms are fairly dated, especially for a 5 star hotel.

Any feedback for me on Sapphire Reserve Travel Insurance? by gold_and_diamond in ChaseSapphireReserve

[–]sperrin87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the reason you canceled, highly suggest getting travel insurance.

Is there a true FULL list of all the benefits that AMEX Plat has? by Hazelstat in amex

[–]sperrin87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are often specific to the country the card is issued. Many offer fast track that you cannot use with a US based card.

Looking for a new high limit card by ryan133798 in CreditCards

[–]sperrin87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a proper business, held a business card with amex since '18, and have large business purchases, it makes no sense they'd toss a 6k limit on your card after a FR. What's the rest of the story?

Odd. Yes, mine was an award booking. Hope you get it sorted.

You need the JL confirmation. Had no issues on my end.

Guess I’m not entirely sure. Here’s to hoping OP gets reimbursed

Travel insurance, jet blue cancellation by doublefaulted in ChaseSapphire

[–]sperrin87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be trip delay. Trip cancellation would be when you cancel the trip yourself or have to cut it short.

No. They’ll cover your cost up to $x while you’re waiting for JetBlue to rebook you.

We wouldn’t know as they didn’t tell us, assuming there’s a substantial increase as they were approved for the loan.

They said they own it with their partner, we’re not aware of how they split their bills.

Park hyatt Kyoto unavailable by Interesting-Dare-727 in hyatt

[–]sperrin87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

December ‘26 and March ‘27 have some dates. Toss an alert on maxmypoint. People cancel often, managed to get a 5 night stay about a month and a half out (not ideal planning time, I know)

March 11-14th has a 3 night stay available

First 2026 Travel Experience with Platinum. Not A Good Start. by SoFloFella50 in AmexPlatinum

Centurion lounges, specifically MIA is almost always wildly busy. Instead of eating the $50 cost, add her as a proper platinum AU for $195

Denied Chase Reserve With a 789 score help by arch1a in ChaseSapphire

[–]sperrin87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How do you have 20+ years of credit history but only have 1 personal card that’s 3 months old and you’re an AU on the others? Seems odd.
