DH and I are looking at going to the Keys for a late winter/early spring getaway. The hotels are HIGH! We have about 75,000 points left from both of us getting Hyatt cards in June. It looks like they have 3 properties in Key West and we can only use points at one of them - 25,000 points per night.
We aren't sure yet how many nights we will be staying in Key West vs moving around a bit. We'll be flying into FLL and driving down. Most likely we'll be gone 8-9 nights, so can split our location a bit although typically we don't like packing and unpacking more than we have to.
Just wondered if anyone had ideas / advice on getting another hotel card for that area. Other than the Hyatt cards, we've never had any other hotels cards. I just got the AmEx Plat for 125,000 and DH got a mailer with the same offer, so he could also apply for that and we'll have lots of MR, but I'm really green at using those points, so not sure if they'd be any use in the keys or not.
