I would pay with Sapphire Preferred or the Hyatt card. Nothing special about using an American Express card at Hyatt unless is a an American Express Business card -and- the Hyatt is a participating USA location in Opening Savings:

I'm planning on paying for my daughter's flight with points - on my selected airline (AA) and I believe I will get 30% of the points back. I did not read anything in the terms that said the ticket purchased had to be for the card holder.
Is my assumption correct?

If you enroll in Priority Pass, car rental privileges, activate SPG Gold status, etc., and you subsequently close the Amex Platinum card, how long will you maintain status with the previously mentioned programs? For example, do you lose Priority Pass/SPG Gold right when you close your Amex Platinum? Do you keep them for a year?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone been able to get an AU card and then register that card for Priority Pass without actually activating the AU's Amex?
I know from this thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...-no-ssn-2.html) plus previous experience that I do not need to provide an SSN for the AU, but it appears that one may be necessary to activate the charge card.
Basically, I'm travelling with friends and would like to get PP cards for one of them for this trip. Costs me nothing extra as I already have two AU cards for Mrs. Lee and Mama Lee, so Friend of Lee would just be using the third.
But, Friend of Lee won't actually be using the charge card for anything other than a means to get a PP. Won't even be using it for DL SCs, Cent Lounges, etc., and certainly not purchases.
