you can't compare anything in china to anything other places. it's the wild west of hotels.

Well part of the problem was I'd just spent five nights at the Park Hyatt Saigon which is rough ridin' wonderful.

But anyway, they have this typical lounge area that had a free booze happy hour, but you had to open the beer yourself! WTF!

Couldn't the toilet open the beer for you?

Well, it started with a pretty elite brag IMO

yeah, I would brag more than you do. Hyatt is BITB though.

Applied for four more yesterday--two Inks at 60k, two US Airs at 40k.

Used the old "Ink Bold is a charge card, I'd prefer the Plus since it's a credit card" trick.

When this round is over, Mrs. WonderMeal and I will have ~200,000 UR (65/135k split respectively), 110,000 SW rapid rewards (all her), and 120,000 US Air (40,000/80,000 split). Will this be enough for elite Rusty-level vacations?

I think I'll shift from Hilton to Hyatt and work these cards. Thanks for the great thread guys.

borrowing money on my ccs was such a stupid idea. now i'm paranoid about even applying for new churns (got rejected once, post borrow).

“Over the last year, I realized how spoiled I was in college,” Henriquez said in a phone interview. “Instead of flying to away games on a chartered flight, you’re taking two or three commercial flights and a bus ride. It was a lot different. I did a good job wracking up my air miles, though.”

Had a midnight fire alarm then no one saying anything when I got to the main floor and complained on twitter then mentioned it to the front desk lady. 14k spg points from a combo of the two trying to make me happy.
