Given its location and views, the Park Hyatt Tokyo could easily get away with selling you just a room. However, it becomes quickly apparent that this ‘hotel in the sky’ is more appropriately labeled a ‘full service resort in the sky’. As a bonus, I found the Park Hyatt treats Hyatt Diamond members to some…

Pampered With Points At Spas
Mrs Weekly Flyer likes to visit a Spa or two sometimes when traveling. So when the SpaFinder 40 SkyMiles offer came up last year I loaded up the truck. I could earn miles and give Mrs Weekly Flyer a nice gift at the same time. We purchased enough gift cards to earn about 20,000 Delta…

Changes To New 50,000 Offer Begin Tomorrow
A few weeks ago, I mentioned how the sky is not falling with the Chase credit card sign up bonuses. We shared how the New Ink Bold offer was staying at 50,000 points even though the Sapphire Preferred offer was being lowered to a 40,000 point offer. The current offer will be removed on Wednesday,…
I have a surplus of hotel bath products (none of which are Portico)
I have a strange curiosity about the logic behind how bath products are selected by hotels. The most glaring question is what was Hyatt thinking when they selected Portico White Ginger products for a majority of their properties. It repulses just about everyone I know in the travel world. In fact, last weekend I was…

Crowdsource vacation planning – Confirmed suite at any Hyatt property in the world
Last year, I applied for the Chase Hyatt Visa credit card as a Hyatt Diamond member and received two confirmed nights in a suite at any Hyatt in the world as the signup bonus. I used one of those suite nights at the Park Hyatt Tokyo and it was ridiculous. This leaves me with one…
Running the table on the Hyatt promotion – Final Tally
Like The Weekly Flyer, I too have been working towards maxing out the Q1 Hyatt promotion. I wrote last month about my Hyatt Binger in which I earned 125,000 Points in 26 nights. I went ahead and finished off the Hyatt Possibilities promotion today. With several closed club lounge bonuses and incorrectly posted Diamond amenities,…

Konnichiwa Japan Trip Report – Introduction and Planning
Five months ago I returned from a 2.5 week trip throughout South East Asia. I loved the trip and culture so much that I knew I wanted to see more in Asia, even before the Cathay Pacific 777 touched down in the US. I have a ‘book now and figure it out later’ mentality when…
Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Martini Follow-up
I blogged earlier about my recent weekend trip to the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. As we all know, no trip to Beaver Creek (or Colorado in general) is complete without visiting at least 5-7 Colorado Microbreweries. I was only able to partake in an underachieving 4 Colorado micro-brews last weekend, but as a Martini Follow-up,…
Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Hotel Review

In an effort to provide transparency and allow readers to follow along as points and miles are earned, I’m releasing my points…
