Yes, sign yourself and the Mrs. each up for SPG.  Doesn't cost anything.  Then, if you decide to, you can each sign up for a 25K SPG Amex and get those nights free.  How big's the family?  My worst fear is someday having kids and suddenly all my airline miles get used up by one family flight  :horrorsurprise:

Its Mr. Fedor, Mrs. Fedor, Mr. Fedor Jr., and Mrs. Fedor Jr.  You don't know the half of it sd, we went to England and Scotland when we were first married and now we are scraping pennies to eat at effing Applebee's on the weekend.  Mrs. Fedor is in the 2nd year of a 3 year grad program, so that does not help.  But yeah kids, jfc.

3 yr grad program? medical?

Sign the wife up for the same continental card so you can get both of you and the kids all on the same flight and you aren't juggling different programs.

Also, I want to reiterate that you will want to book the airfare early.  Vacationy type places are the first to exhaust their available reward seats because business people don't use their miles for business trips.

that's a great feeling.  I'm kinda on the fence on Hawaii at the Westin Maui.  I'm SPG Gold and supposedly get an upgrade if available.  But, the property is known to be very stingy with upgrades for Golds to ocean view.  I may just swallow my pride and book the ocean view for 5 nights with the extra points.  I know I'll always kick myself for not rolling the dice on the upgrade and the chance at that amazing feeling you are talking about  :frown:

yeah. that's tough. something like that i guess you just have to suck it up and deal with it. i suppose you could try to be super sneaky and book it w/ the extra points and then call the day before and ask how many ocean views they have left or get on line and look and then if they still have some you could cancel and rebook without ocean view and roll the dice when you get there. seems like a lot of trouble though. plus would hate to get up hopes and then have them killed when you arrive.
