5 stays so far (2 1/2 FFN earned) with 2 more planned by August. Then will use them for a single stay in August. That will make give me 15 stays for the year; wonder if it's worth it to plough on through to make Diamond, which I've never been before...would like to experience the amenities and clubs. A local property comes up on PL for < $50, should I just do the check-in/check-out thing?

I'm planning on several days in London while I can still plan on access to the RC. I've only earned .5 to date, which probably means a few mattress runs lurk in my near future.

If you need advise for getting LA area Hyatts using Priceline you can send me an email.

Tonite is my 9th stay, since 6/1, and have 4 FFN's so far, 3 of which are used for GH HK for the Aisa Do in Sept. Sticking to weekend stays with 1500 or 2000 GP bonuses, Greenville, SC, Cinncinnati, Reston and Woodfield. Weekend of the 4th I have Greenville ($44.50,) Reston ($54.50,) Cinncinnati ($49.50) and Greenville ($44.50,) generating 2 more FFN's and 8700 bonus points plus the usual points and DIA bonus. Not PL either. Total so far, I have 28 stays reserved thru 9/5, plus the FFN stays themselves, after I decide where and when. Guess I should hurry and decide. That should be enough.

How are you getting the gp bonus on PL stays?It has been posted that the diamond desk will no longer add this bonus to PL stays.

I can remember paying $350/night for that motel! After a few stays I got to like having my car at the door in the morning.

I think they even count toward MM status when transferred.
I have, however, been positively surprised that I have been able to book the following FFN's so far:
2 nights Hyatt in New Oreans
3 nights at the Park Hyatt in Sydney
2 nights at the Park Hyatt SFO, 1 night at the Grand Hyatt SFO
2 nights at the Park Hyatt NYC, 1 night at the Grand Hyatt NYC

If you come to AKL, NZ and want to get together for a drink or something, let me knwo :-) I might use a few of my GP points since it is only Cat 1 just to try it out.
