Travel Perks

Who's a Hyatt Gold Passport Platinum* member?

That would be me baby. That would be me.

*Yeah, I stumbled on the whole Gold/Platinum thing too. I guess they just really want me to think I'm supah valuable.

(Or they think I'm simple minded enough that the Jedi Mind Trick works on me.)

Wheeee!

I'm with you. I've got almost 200,000 points on Southwest, and you can get a free flight with as few as 12,500. Plus I've got a companion pass which means that if someone wants to come with me on my exact itinerary, they can, 100% for free... even if I flew on a free flight myself. Southwest is the tits.

I rack up points so much faster than I can ever spend them. Not a bad problem to have, especially now that Southwest bought AirTran which means international flights. (Mostly Mexico, but still!)

This is really, really interesting to me, because V and I are the only people I know who don't have a credit card that has travel benefits.

I had an Alaska Airlines credit card for years, because their points were the only way I could get back to visit friends. Then there was kerfluffle about mixed up replacement cards, so I no longer have it.

My regular CC has points to use however, but I really do not exploit that feature enough.
