LYC: I'm so locked into Hyatt now I'd rather stay in Indy at a Hyatt than any other chain in Terra Haute (where I need to be) an hour away...

1. I dislike paying for hotels anymore. I can spend $100-$200/night in Terra Haute at a non-Hyatt or redeem 5k-10k Hyatt points and get a free night.

2. I could transfer my Chase points to IHG or Marriott to get a free night with them but those are 17k-20k points vs. the 5k-10k at a Hyatt.

3. I'm not sure how (some kind of bonus nights got added to our account) but we probably will hit Globalist with Hyatt this weekend or next which gets us suite upgrades when available. Easier it looks like to get at the Hyatt House downtown Indy vs. the Regency but both are good options and we get free parking (need to verify this but I'm pretty sure).

Hyatt has spoiled me for all other hotels :)

Once you hit globalist, do status match challenges to the other chains and don't worry about it. -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 09:30 1
- Already did the MGM part. I tried to do the Caesar's the other day at the Grand Victoria in Elgin but they couldn't do it. I'll be in Vegas in Jan - oblique Sep 28, 09:31
I like staying where I have status, but I'm not staying an hour away for it. - ty97 Sep 28, 09:24 1
- technically, we would be staying closer to the daughter who we are there to see but the event we're going to see her at (horses) is in Terra Haute -- nm - oblique Sep 28, 09:25

- I still laugh at this completely fake sounding parody of a status level. - ty97 Sep 28, 09:25 1
  - It definitely sounds fake. But "Ambassador" is even worse to me. -- nm - MDH Sep 28, 09:49

      - I've been to Indy 3-4 times since 2016! Always for same day in/out or quick 1 night stays and meetings/fly-out. -- nm - MDH Sep 28, 10:01
And Uber that shit! -- nm - Spawn Sep 28, 09:22 3
- I think an Uber from Chicago is going to be quite expensive -- nm - oblique Sep 28, 09:25 2
  - Uber Indy to the Haute. Super easy. Barely an inconvenience. - Spawn Sep 28, 09:27 1
    - it's still an hour drive. That has to be more brutal on the wallet via Uber than my FF record is on my pride -- nm - oblique Sep 28, 09:28
also, I think I'm safe to not Jinx myself but we are a month out from our Cancun trip and the resort - oblique Sep 28, 09:21 2
- you should email them and let them know you haven't been charged yet -- nm - decline Sep 28, 09:22 1
  - *charges him, twice* -- nm - Resort Sep 28, 09:23
