Just booked a flight to Munich to Madrid and back home on delta/airfrance business class for less than $200.

wut. when you say "back home" you mean KC? and no points involved? mistake fare?
Yeah in and out of mci. Flying to Toronto to Munich, then Madrid to London to Toronto then back to KC.

Use the UR points to transfer to Hyatt. AA points to fly there. no on status match. some mixed signals on the 5/24 but Lucky believes the Hyatt may still be in the clear:

http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2016/05/25/chase-credit-card-denied/

ty, sd.  submitted applications for Hyatt cards for both of us and both went to decision pending.  weirdly, mine told me to call in and my wife's did not.  going to wait them both out and see what happens.  will report back.

go ahead and call, usually better to just answer their questions.   I've had everything from "not sure why it said to call" to asking to re-allocated credit line among Chase cards.

flyertalk said to just wait it out.  I already closed the window with the number and confirmation number anyway.  yolo

Very impressive m4dc. You guys are putting me to shame.

I don't do hotel points, I mainly book on Hotels.com and get every 11th night free.

I don't really earn them wth stays, only occasional bonus earnings when it makes sense and I have capacity.    We just did 2 nights at the St. Regis SF on points, I'd have never spent $500/nt on them if I had to pay for it.

Yeah that's essentially what we did. Each got the card, spent 2k in Europe, each got a 70k bonus. Easy.
