Wife and I got the cards and a total now of 224,000 Capital One miles. Just redeemed for four $900 certificates, $3600 total credit.

Cancelled my four night awards suite reservation at the Park Hyatt Paris Vendome for December and rebooked for cash room with Diamond Suite upgrade. With the certificates, the room will be free for 5 nights at the Senior Rate.

Getting back 132,000 Hyatt points. Also getting 23,000 points for the dollars spent for a cash stay for a total back in my account of 155,000 points.

I'm a very, very happy camper!
