Hyatt Regency O’Hare vs. Hyatt Rosemont Which Hyatt O’Hare wins? Usually when I stay near an airport, I’m trying to decide between what brands I want to stay at and at what price point.  Chicago provides an interesting set of options–there are two Hyatt near the airport, both in the …

Hack My Trick has a really cool infograph up right now detailing Hyatt’s partnership with MLife–the owner of many hotels in Vegas. Basically, elite status for Hyatt becomes elite status for MLife in Vegas and vice versa. The great thing about this is it makes elite status in Vegas really …

I’ve mentioned before I have had a habit of stockpiling points.  I was stockpiling into Hyatt for quite a while.  Enough so that I (eventually) booked almost three weeks of travel time while only paying for one night myself. I did this by booking as many nights as I could …

…which still wasn’t much of a churn at all! I tend to be stuck in the camp of not being able to use miles for dream vacations because I’m too busy flying around earning miles (through work).  In fact, I upgraded a trip to Hawaii, four different people’s flights, and …

My twitterfeed has been filled with uproar over the change in Hilton Honors’ program the last two days.  And rightfully so!  Some properties’ redemption rate has gone up by 90%.  Insane! While most people are taking their points and running to a different program, I’m sitting here feeling validated for …
