Sounds incredible! Thank yoU! I'd love any tips or recommendations you have for the area!

Thanks for letting us know. The Hyatt filter missed that one! Looks like Hyatt needs to tell their IT people!

@@LetsGetToThePoints - the City of Dreams in Manila is built as a big rectangle with (I believe) three hotels and the casino in the center of the rectangle. It takes up a full city block. I’m not sure if/how it would qualify as a Hyatt property casino. Maybe that’s why it does not show up in the system as a Hyatt property with a casino. But still a nice hotel/casino.””

Ooohh. We’re holding out for PH Kuala Lumpur but it sounds like GH KL is not a bad alternative! Thank you for your comment!

Happy to hear you loved the PHB!

YMMV but likely not. 😢

Great tip! We will avoid the Centric Hong Kong! Thank you, Kelvin!

We’ve heard great things about that property! We need to check it out!

Unhinged for non-standard Hilton availability. 1M - 2M for one night is pretty ridiculous, even for a premium room. We still love them though!

You’re just at the finish line! Thank you for watching!

That was an oopsie. When you gift a Guest of Honor award, the donor gets an EQN. You don't get one when you gift the FNC. Great catch!

@@LetsGetToThePoints also, did I hear Mitch stayed at the Rio with a promotion and nights counted? I got 5 complimentary nights at Rio but didn't know if they will count towards EQN. I would have to pay resort fees since my Glob perks would not be honored. Squeamish about staying in the Masquerade tower ☠

Are your 5 comp nights casino related? We’re guessing they might not count.

😂 We're glad you enjoy our Hyatt episode! Yes, you should definitely try Park Hyatt Bangkok!

Thank you for sharing! Please let us know how you like the Grand Hyatt Manila after your stay. We may be going to Singapore and GH Singapore is on our list!

@@LetsGetToThePoints GH Singapore was recently remodeled.

P2 should book the second room for the elite night and possible brand explorer.

Should we also book separately with other hotel brands? What about airlines?

It depends. These are good questions we could cover on our show. Please send us a video question!

The Hyatt casino filter missed that Manila property! Great callout!!!

Between all of us it’s a combo of credit card nights, organic stays, mattress runs, and fast track promos.

Definitely get the WOH credit card. Also watch for the promos. Example - they just had a promo where if you stay at a Hyatt in Latin America you earn an extra 5000 points for every 3 nights you stay (can earn 20K points max). I stayed at a Category 1 Hyatt Place off peak for 3500 points/night. And I earned 5000 points every third night. So it really only cost me 1833 points per night. That’s probably the cheapest way to push toward Globalist Elite status. That works out being cheaper than the RIO, especially when you figure in taxes on the RIO cash price. It was a nice hotel with decent breakfast and good staff. I flew there free using points, so the entire vacation was very inexpensive.

We love hearing about the GH Kuala Lumpur! Thank you for sharing! We are holding out hope for the opening of the Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur by the time we go. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us especially at GH HK. No 🍜!!!! 😭😭😭

We’ve haven’t heard great things about Indian Wells and we’re hoping you had a better experience! Gainey Ranch is a great one and Serena has it booked for next year. That GOH is DEFINITELY going to be helpful at Baha Mar. You are right! We need a water park filter!!!!!!

@@LetsGetToThePoints we were in Indian Wells for Xmas 2023 and while the hotel was under construction we had a nice time. My kids were 8 and 9 at the time so the lazy river, water slides, pickle ball courts and holiday activities kept the kids busy. I always say that you can go to the nicest most luxurious property but if the kids aren’t entertained then no one is having a good time.

We think your kids are going to love Baha Mar!

@@LetsGetToThePoints Serena will have a great time at Gainey Ranch!! If driving is ok, here is a rough outline of what we did, two days at Gainey Ranch, drove through Flagstaff and stayed in there, we drove up to and stayed in Page, we saw the Glen Canyon dam in Paige and Indian Canyon. Indian Canyon is on Navajo land and requires a reservation. On the way back south we drove through and stopped at the Grand Canyon, then through Sedona and ended the last few days at Gainey Ranch.

That sounds like a great itinerary! Thank you for sharing. She has to stick close to Gainey Ranch due to her daughter's soccer tournament in the area.

Wow, sounds nice! Have you tried the Hyatt Regency Renton? It's right on the water and nice location, but they just closed the club lounge :(

You can definitely check in physically and then leave. Get that status!

You can also do a mobile checkout using the Hyatt app, if you checkout prior to 2:30 pm. Think the time is based on the time zone your phone is in. I tried to checkout of a west coast time zone Hyatt, from my home in the Central time zone, at 2:45pm, and got a message stating that mobile checkout was not available after 2:30 pm. But it all worked out. A couple hours later I got the checkout bill emailed to me and the points in my account. I left a couple nights early and just put the do not disturb sign on the door.

If you do the Rio and you are NOT Globalist, make sure you use a guest of honor to get the resort fees waived, I think they are up to $50...Rio is pretty easy to do if you are in the area...

Thank you for watching us twice! We hope we get to meet you at our LA meetup. Yes, these are still great properties without Globalist status. The Globalist breakfast covers 2 adults and 2 children, age depending on the property. You can ask very nicely at each property if they will also cover your 18 yr old kiddo.

@@LetsGetToThePointsI’ll have to try to my best Nicole impression and say, “the gentleman over there said that it was okay.” 😂 I would love to attend the meet up but it’s a long way to LA and the kiddo has finals. 😞

We have so much more high on the hog coming to you! 🥂

We're glad you had a great experience there too, Lovan! Please let us know if you ever come across a better club lounge we should visit!

@@LetsGetToThePoints that might be mission impossible but I'll have my eyes open lol

😂 Let's hope she doesn't leave us to entertain that career.

We're so glad you loved Park Hyatt Milan! Serena is excited!

Thanks for hanging out with us at 4am! Wow, thank you for letting us know about Sunscape. We don't like trash!

🎉 We have so many reasons to love Fridays!

LOL!!! We are here for you, Rustin! Let us know what other topics you're interested in.

Are you referring to Chew's flight?

5/24 is overrated! Flying in First Class is the BEST way to get a P2 onboard with this wonderful hobby. Well done, Gene!

We're glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!

Hi! thank you for watching. We booked ground transportation to and from Bangkok and Pattaya via www.thailgbtconnect.com/ They also helped us booked the elephant tour as well.We booked a passenger van and it was just perfect for the 5 of us... We'd say, yes! Traffic is Bangkok can be really bad...BKK is outside of Bangkok a bit, so if you are just going to Pattaya or BKK , you will skip past Bangkok...But, always a good idea to bake in extra time, you never know what it's going to be like, but if everything goes to plan, it should be about 2 hours from BKK... Inside Bangkok, a taxi will be your best bet, Grab or Bolt are great apps. Keep in mind, it can be difficult to get a cab during the very busy times in Bangkok. If you are into old airplanes, there's a cool very old L1011 that's been turned into a coffee bar in Pattaya. Let us know and we can pass along that info! There's a big waterpark nearby if you've got kids too if you want to go off property. Hope you have fun, let us know how it goes!

Thank you so much for your great recommendations! It gives me reassurance on planning. 😊

Glad it was helpful!

Great find! That must have been a fun flight!

We need to check that one out!

Yes, you can. You have to remember the account information so you can log into each account to pause delivery until you get your points.

Thanks for the information❤❤

They don’t make it easy. If you are traveling with adults, better to book from each individual account.

Thank you for asking. We don't have a referral for that card. Try searching for the 70k bonus to get the best offer.

@@LetsGetToThePoints Thank you! Any referral for AA Business card from citi?

Hi again. Thank you for asking! On our website, go to credit cards, filter by business and Citibank and you will see it. Let us know if you have any issues!

Thank you for watching us while you drive! Hopefully we don't distract you from watching the road!

@@LetsGetToThePoints Tesla X makes it easy ;)

Wow your trip to Jordan sounds amazing! What a great trip to look forward to. We're glad you found us and thank you for putting up with our whining. Let us know if you found any great hotels on points for your trip.

It's possible to find all standard awards if you're very far in advance. To make the advantage award worth it, try adding a stopover.

Hi. That will be a nice new premium economy seat! Book those seats you found. Keep monitoring for the business class seats. If the biz seats appear, you can put on hold. Then cancel the PE seats and apply the miles to the biz seats. We've seen cash upgrades available at the airport on check in day.

@@LetsGetToThePoints Thanks ,unfortunately those 2 seats looks like there are NOT available in AA site anymore, even that they are showing for the last 3 days or so, I even called the AA customer svce and they are no able to see it on their side. It is kind of weird because I tried different JL flights and I have the same results. Did this happened to anybody before??? I feel kind of frustrated at this time. I kind of believe that there maybe some issues booking JL awards in AA site. Any help or advise will be deeply appreciate. Thanks again all.

Unfortunately someone else may have booked. Sorry it happened! Keep monitoring for space and set seats.aero alerts.

Thank you for watching! You can set your seats.aero alerts now for winter 2025. Use ANZ to cover Australia and New Zealand airports. In December of this year, start looking on United (for ANA), Qantas, and AA (for JAL) to see if the calendar is open and what availability might look like. Award availability from the US to that region is difficult during our winter season. Hopefully you’ll have better availability since you are departing from Japan!

@@LetsGetToThePoints Thank you so very much. I will do that.

🎉 Thank you for watching! We are too legit to quit! 🥳

We are so sorry to hear about the experience you had with AA. Splitting up the family is a terrible option. Companies need to learn it takes one bad experience to lose a customer and they should do better. Since a mechanical issue was involved, did you by chance ask AA for compensation afterwards? Or submit a DOT complaint?
