Not plotting anything, just wondering whether you can get to Diamond with the night count rather than the stay count. Looks like you still have many nights to go even with the night count.

Hi, just need a little guidance on these FFN, and if you feel that they only work if you buy the cheap rates and then use awards on expensive hotels later, I can live with that, just happen to live where all the Hyatts are expensive
. That's what I see happening but I could be wrong.
Most of the hotels I use have $300+ rates, ie Australia Asia, and although I have a huge number of stays etc, I personally can never see myself being able to get Diamond, so would be unable to count on extra bonuses there.
Am I right in thinking that it's another version of stay 3 pay2, because using 300 as a benchmark, I would be able to reduce say the Bangkok Hyatt to $200 per night. At the moment I only use the G1 and G2 bonus and plan my stays to fit.
Thanks for your help, regards bkkrop

I must say the 2000 GP bonus using a MC was a nice little bonus ^ and when you top that off with a G(x) bonus, 1W, it will be a nice rewarding stay
time to start booking those IAD area hotels now

FFN nights?
Are these FFN nights usually easy to redeem? I have a Hyatt Place down the road from me for 66.95 a night.. If I stay there for two one night, how many points would I receive in addition to the FFN? I would receive Diamind bonus...
Sorry to ask such basic questions. This is my first year as a road warrior

Is my math right?
[QUOTE=ngalliance;10242435]Are these FFN nights usually easy to redeem? I have a Hyatt Place down the road from me for 66.95 a night.. If I stay there for two one night, how many points would I receive in addition to the FFN? I would receive Diamind bonus...
Room rate 66.75 x 2 = 133.75
x 5 points per $ = 668.75 points
x 30% bonus = 200
500 point bonus per night = 1000 points
MC bonus for two nights= 2000
So for two one night stays for $133.75 total I would get around 3868 points and a FFN? Is this right?!?!?!
Room rate 66.75 x 2 = 133.75
x 5 points per $ = 668.75 points
x 30% bonus = 200
500 point bonus per night = 1000 points
MC bonus for two nights= 2000
So for two one night stays for $133.75 total I would get around 3868 points and a FFN? Is this right?!?!?!

Your 2 stays need to be at different hotels to get the FFN. There are also G bonuses at some HP's

Yes. Another option would be to spend Friday at property A and Saturday at property B. That way you could earn one FFN per weekend. You could also spend every weekend at property A and would be fine. You just can't have back to back stays ie if you check into property A on Friday and then have a separate reseravation at property A for Saturday - these 2 would count as one stay since they are 2 consecutive days at the same property.

I will be staying at a Hyatt on 8/31, checking out on 9/1/08. Can you please confirm that just as in past years, credit will be based on Check Out date, and therefore 9/1/08 checkouts will count towards FFN08?
Thanks!
