1 FFN (sitting on 1 qualifying stay since NBT promo started)
Is this worth jumping on for most of you? What do you value a FFN at? What is the max $ value one can be redeemed for?
I would jump on $56.50 so fast the hotel would be booked up every day I could find that rate!
As far as doing Goldpassport points or miles....I am currently doing miles as I earn 13,500 miles after 2 nights on United (as a result of a promo going on during this month).
When figuring out whether or not it's worth it....Do you have any travel plans that have a nice Hyatt property?
1 free night=$113 cost to you (at the rate above). As long as you redeemed at a property that would have cost more than $113/night you have a winner!
Many of us redeem at Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt. I will be redeeming 5 nights at The Grand Hyatt Kauai. I'm paying $124 per FFN. The cheapest rate for when I am there is $500 and some change per night. I am also considering redeeming at a Park Hyatt somewhere for a quick getaway.
Hyatt also has stays count double for status.
Good luck and jump on it!
