To be honest, how much hassle is it? Making the reservations, then going to the front desk each day. Surely many of the frequent poster on FT have done much more (do MR's to far east from the US and back in weekend ring a bell? How about buying some pudding?) for rewards. I suppose much the antics that we FT'ers engage in is seen as the "have some dignity" kind (mistake fares etc.). In the end it all where we draw our own lines.
I agree with you chobby100, it's not much hassle at all and I wouldn't think twice about doing what you are doing. You're already at the hotel, what's the big deal about going to the front desk and checking in/out everyday, it'll only take 5-10 minutes. And dignity vs. a few free nights? First of all, 14 qualifying stays is SEVEN FFN.
7 FFN * $700/night @ Hyatt Kauai/Maui for Deluxe Oceanview RC = $4900
Dignity vs. $5000...........................................
Hmmmm.................................I'll take the $5000 thank you very much.
If however, someone else values their dignity by not having to check in + out at more than $5000, then by all means they shouldn't use this strategy.
