Totally same strategy with stevens397..

During double stay counting period, I stayed 14 stays and 14 nights. All stays are done at Hyattplace in the weekend of January. Average payment was 70$ including tax. So, total was around 1000, but I used most of expense with check certificate I bought at Costco with 20% discount.. So, if I assume it 15% benefit because I could use 1 certificate per day, total was around $800..

3 FFNs were used at Highland Inn, Carmel where average cost $500/day. and 4 FFNs will be used at Park Hyatt Tokyo which also needs at least $500/day.. Really tremendous promotion..

Also, I registered 2500 UA miles promotion for UA elite members, so that I got 35,000 miles which I already issued a one-way first class ticket to Boston..
