Debated putting this in the travel thread, but ultimately decided I needed points advice from SD and RD more than where-to-stay advice, although I do need and would welcome both.
Mrs. WonderMeal and I are having some work done on Casa WonderMeal from 2/9 to 2/13 (four nights), and I figured it would be good to use this as an excuse to go to take the three kids to an all-inclusive. We need a little bit of points help to get there, though.
Right now we're thinking Cancun, because it's pretty easy to travel to/from for us, and we have two free Hyatt nights that I'm thinking we could use at the new Hyatt Ziva. Other items that we have in our points portfolio right now:
-110k SW points + companion pass
-Two free Hyatt nights
-Two free weekend nights at a Hilton (apparently not valid at all-inclusives?)
-103,000 URs
-103,000 Amex points
-Ability to apply for pretty much any non-Chase card (SPG? Marriott?) for free nights
We're open to switching resorts at some point, or spending part of the vacay in a hotel. We're also not 100% tied to Cancun, although we will need to stay somewhere with kiddos.
Tell me, gE travel studs, what remaining cards should I get, and where should we stay?
