i do not, but thanks for asking

So, this gets me two free nights at any Hyatt property as long as they have standard rooms available?  Doesn't matter if its a $100 room or a $500 room?

Like, it'd be possible to get two free nights here: http://newyork.park.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html ?

mocat and mocatwife will be staying at that very park hyatt in september, thanks to the chase hyatt card. and it's more like $1400/night for the dates we were looking at.

Yeah, i saw that 

Another question, regarding referrals for this card... do only blogs/websites get referral links to use or does any cardholder get a referral link automatically?  Just applied, got approved, and want to pass this along to the other 6 people going to NYC w/ me.  They'll be all  and i'll be all, "meh...happens every time i want to travel".     Love this thread so much.

Did not know there was a 100k mile AA card. Is AA worth it?

Not sure why, but I've kind of lost my direction in the cc game and need some guidance as to which cards to go for next. Already have 70k+ URs (Chase Ink Bold + kstategrad) and like 40k US Airways miles, and for some reason feel like I should save the other Chase cards for later. Not sure why I feel like I need to hold off on getting all the Chase cards.

Should I just double down on UR, or should I expand to Amex, AA, Delta (lol), or something else? (Also not interested in SW right now--Mrs. WonderMeal has companion pass.)

Primary objective is domestic travel for buds/family who are not and maybe one big trip for me and Mrs. WonderMeal to like Buenos Aires or Italy or something. GIVE ME DIRECTION I AM LOST.

Was the UR post from Puni about this post? If so, does that mean I should ignore AA and other programs until there are no more Chase cards to get?

Also, Steve RowdyBoyy Dave and RowdyBoyy, what should I use to get to Buenos Aires or somewhere in Italy? For real, plan a trip for me anywhere and I'll probably go.

Get all the points suggested in the last 20'ish pages and then report back with a list of places you would consider with point totals and I'll plan it for you.

Not yet. The Cancun all-inclusive's available part of the time. one big time bummer is the nonstops to cancun from SFO are seasonal. eff this crap.

steve dave you made it seem like these Hyatt nights would be easy to redeem without much notice.

They are. If there's a regular room available you can book it. They aren't going to build more rooms for your free nights if they fill up.

They could have just a handful of their standard room on the property or something. I've not really looked at those all inclusives.

Just finished booking round trip to Palau through United using all miles thanks to SD and other credit card guru's.  I'm flying through Japan for the trip vs Hawaii.  On the return there's a 7-8 hour layover at Narita so i'll go get lost for a few hours.  Thanks again though ladies and gents for the guidance of credit cards and miles, i got all the miles i needed in about 3 months.  Saved me about 2600 bucks i'm estimating.

If anyone has a referral for the Ink Plus, I'll use that instead of the random points bloggers'.

And I need a PI-free reminder of how to fill out all the biz stuff on the application, seems they ask more questions there aside from a TIN than I remember the last time I did one.  T-Y.
