I'm going to look at shoebuy.com to see if they have anything I like. I was shopping on zappos.com without any luck.

FYI -- the fabulous Mrs. Xyzzy has often found online coupons for shoebuy.com ...

Hyatt sent me a flyer offering 25,000 for 3 stays, and 50,000 for 8 as a bonus, but their rates are so out of the ballpark I haven't even looked recently. For the NJ MiniDo they wanted over 290 a night for a hyatt place!

That's precisely how I feel in the fall with Hyatt's Faster Free Nights. The cheapest place I used one last year was the Hyatt Regency Madeleine in Paris (starts at around 350 euro).

And now I'm jealous - can I ask when you received that mailer, and how often you stay at Hyatt? I probably stay too much, as I earned my third Platinum Extra of the year on Saturday ...

Heheh, nah, mine is only about 3 hours behind yours. Not THAT desperate. ;)

I earn my first free night this weekend. I can't believe the Westin New Orleans was offering 850 sq. ft. suites for $215/night (standard rate, not even SPG50). :eek:

I've stayed 3 nights this year, I stayed 5 last...I didn't see a promo code on it but I did not look too hard, I don't know that I threw the flyer away but I can't find it now.

I got it about 1.5 months ago.

That has to be one of the best promos yet. I just reserved my first two free nights for SXM and after this week, i'll have another 4 nights. :)

The helicopter also becomes less prone to a tail rotor loss through ground fire, which could hit the boom and damage the shaft that power the tail rotor.

All goodpoints which I was too tired to think of upon first post.

Is this your idea of fun, Mav? :confused:
