Well, you could stay with us at Santa Clara Hyatt Regency on weekend, rate is $80 and you will min 5K

On my calculation earlier I forgot to add this 5K.. so for $150 I will 5K for stay, 10K+5K bonus... totals 20K this is as good $400 to $500

+1 W for long international flights is a good idea.

Especially since we won't be fighting for space with most of the 1K lites gone in 2011.

Hyatt has been regularly having FFN for the last several years, and I suspect they will do the same this Spring too.

I'd like to have that promo! I could see myself Hyatt Place running to earn multiple free nights at the Park Hyatt Tokyo!

Just being polite and friendly with them, and they love this kind of 1K.

So I'm not polite and friendly? :( Just kidding. I frequently spend time chatting with the FAs in the gallery. On DEN-SFO, I spent 30 minutes talking to the FAs and purser about merger, Hawaii, FT, etc.. They were so nice, and shook my hand when I left ^

I did calculate the amount of points I will receive from the 12 stays, as well as GP bonuses, and came out with 14000 GP bonus points, and two more 10K bonuses ^ Looking forward to trying a Park Hyatt next year!

How many stays do you have now? what kind of promotion did you got last Sept?

I got Marriott Silver when I got the Marriott Premier credit card. Then in September, I called up, and they matched me to Platinum. I wish I had known they did promos to move to Diamond, though!

Who care about the stays, all you need is the FFN credit that you could use it at Park Hyatt
