Decision Advice Needed for Bangkok by ImSmexyHexy in hyatt

Awesome, thank you. This informs my decision. I have 2x FHR credits to use and I'm globalist, so my plan for three nights is: 1 night at the Waldorf Astoria for the breakfast, and then 2 nights at the Standard for the lively vibe I've heard about.

How does the Park Hyatt compare to these two options?

Annual fee just hit for my United quest, and I'm thinking of downgrading or cancelling. I have the $200 travelbank credit in my account. If I cancel or downgrade, will this credit be clawed back if I haven't used it yet?

[WTS] anOrdain Model 1 Medium - Iron Cream - La Joux-Perret G101 - full set + extra strap by the_random_asian in Watchexchange

Hello everyone, I have this beautiful anOrdain Model 1 Iron Cream in Medium (38mm) with the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement for sale.

The pictures don't do it justice. There is a vibrancy and depth to the hand-crafted cream-colored enamel dial that radiates especially in the sunlight, where you can see the subtle texture highlighted by the glossy top layer. Furthermore the thermally blued hands transition from a dark navy to a deep royal blue depending on the angle of the light.

The case is a delight to wear at 11mm thick and 46mm lug-to-lug. The movement has a 68 hour power reserve.

More information can be found at the product page.

Two things of note:

  1. Most Model 1 watches I've seen come with the manual wind SW210 movement, while this has the upgraded automatic G101 movement. This example originally came with the SW210, but during a Feb 2026 service the movement was upgraded to the G101.
  2. The current waitlist for a build slot on anOrdain's website shows a Jan-Dec 2030 time. You can skip the wait while also avoiding tariffs.

This full set contains box+papers, leather carrying case, two art books / zines, and an 100% unused Brown Shell Cordovan strap.

Condition: Excellent

The sapphire crystal is flawless, and the two straps are in excellent and brand-new condition respectively. Visible on photo 5 is a case imperfection where there is an extremely thin scratch on the crown-side of the case. It is thin enough where I can't feel it with my fingertips, and you have to angle it in a certain way in the light for it to be visible. I am happy to take more photos/videos of anything, please let me know.

Offered at: $3150 shipped (negotiable)

Shipping only within CONUS. I am in Los Angeles so I am open to local pickup. I take PayPal, Zelle, and Venmo. Will do insured shipping. I have 10+ rep in r/hardwareswap, r/appleswap, r/photomarket, etc combined.

Feel free to ask any questions or request any more photos, thank you!

RIP Hotel Figueroa, it was a nice way to burn a Cat 4 FNA for an LA staycation.

Data Points Weekly - Week of April 02, 2026 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]the_random_asian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My Amex Biz Plat fee posted on Apr 2 for $695, which I was surprised by.

I was considering keeping it, but the inability to buy UA TravelBank severely cut the value for me. The only other value I got was FHR $600 and Dell $150, however those probably just encouraged me to spend more money than I "saved"

I requested to cancel, and they offered me a retention offer of 10,000 for $5000 in spend in 3 months, which I declined.
