But given that I picked up 4 FFN nights at the Park Hyatt EZE this year, including two of the nights from four $55 HP mattress runs, I will stay loyal as long as it is logistically possible.
That makes two of us. Given that May-June and September are the most ideal weather months here in Illinois, the current promo just isn't matching my plans either. Let's both hope there is a strong FFN this fall with double stay credit or I'll join you in falling away from Diamond. The devaluation in point redemptions was not unexpected but I am wary that another one is soon to follow when the credit card is issued - both in terms of hotel redemption but also conversion. Some of those bonus Hyatt points from 1Ws and G2s were very handy in just going over the Southwest companion pass threshold this year.
