FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

For whatever reason, there Courtyards and Fairfields I've been to maybe have 1-2 upgrade type rooms, if that. I'm normally at a lot of the smaller properties instead of something larger...

I need 3 NYC trips this year to meet all of you folks along with my various work-related tasks. I love being the "lone ranger" on left coast. It has been my career. ^

Are you guys taking about the Hyatt at Grand Central?

I'm probably still a decade away from lifetime Gold on AA. If SkyTeam USA had that rule, I would own due to NW - now at 4.84 million lifetime RDM (was 4.83 last week).

I'm at something like 650k lifetime RDMs on Northwelta...not a bad haul given that I've only been flying them for about 5 years...

Our disillusioned Hyatt representative helped me pick up an extra 1,000 GP points at PH ZRH by gifting a Platinum Extra.

I'm just a huge fan of the location. I used to stay down Park Ave at the Sheraton there (I think at something like Park and 36th) but that left the SPG portfolio a few year ago :rolleyes:

We're staying at the s^@&&%EST Sheraton in NYC; but I didn't book it. It's not a direct bill, so the points are mine :)

I opened the NW account in the 2000's and the SkyTeam USA account in 2008.

Which Sheraton? Normally when I'm in NYC and need a SPG property, I try to go with the Westin Times Square...

Andaz is (will be) about 4 blocks away --- March or April, if my sources are correct.

I had a fabulous stay at the FI around MCI. Sadly, one of my best MR stays of 2009
