CO is greedy. They raised fares IAH-FLL on the late June dates I need. It's now $320+ R/T. I looked at seat maps on all their flights. Wide open. Whiskey T F?!?!:mad:

As a Gold on PHL-IAH, I'm 1/3. Missed by one last year on my PHX run on the 0545 flight, missed by a ton when we went to SJC on the noonish flight, and scored on the SNA/ONT run recently. The SNA/ONT score was a Wednesday on a T fare on the 0545-ish flight. How you're not clearing as a Plat when I got it on Gold/T is mystifying.

So, as many of you know, we are USC football fans. USC is playing UH in HNL in early September. We are now booked to go for an 8 night trip (of course at teh Hyatt) at the end of August/beginning of September. I finally get to use a Diamond suite upgrade in Hawaii, which is huge. We are also redeeming 3 BWB nights during our time there. One of our favorite couples also are coming to see the game, so it is going to be one epic week +. :cool:

Well, I'm sure there will be other B:cool:Xer DOs in the not-too-distant future -- but it would be great to see you here!^

How are you able to redeem 3 BWB nights then?:confused: Do you have some super-secret Hyatt connections that you're keeping from the rest of us?!;):D

I've earned 4 FFN so far & have 6 more stays booked (for 3 more FFNs) in the next few wks!^

ETA: I guess you're using 3 nts for the last 3 days of Aug!

I understand Saturday is also a good day to check. I usually check every morning and every evening.

August 29, 30 and 31. :cool: I booked those before I booked the trip when I had an inkling that we might be going.

We wanted to go to Maui those days, but there were reports of :rolleyes: there so we went with our old standby.

I am only going to earn 3, which is what I know I can spend wisely. I actually (gasp) will be doing some damage on my SPG account the next few months to get a couple of their FWN's, which have a later redemption period.

Hmm to stay up or go to bed!?!?!?!

I expect to redeem out of three programs this summer - strong side effect of realizing I had enough points for nights with five different programs.

I am getting seriously tired.
