    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Chiming in to say that my family felt the same. We enjoyed the HP part of both parks, but just didn't really like the rest of them. We did a split stay with a much longer WDW trip and were ready to leave US after one day. It's funny, because we went to US in CA a few years ago and we enjoyed...

    That's what I did and I eventually found appointments for me, DH, and DD all within the same week but not on the same day. (in other words, we had to go to the airport and pay for parking 3 times). :headache: Now you can also do the interview upon arrival which would take up far less of your...

    You explained this really well. I feel like I have to stay at a Hyatt much of the time, but I also have a bunch of Hilton FNCs that I really want to use at high-end places. I think we are going for it again this year since DH has been traveling for work, but that's almost over and I'm not sure...

    Next Batch of Cruises

    I see the same thing. So glad I went on the Norway/Iceland/Scotland cruise back when it included Scotland (and now they aren't even going to Iceland) and I'm so glad I found the 9nt Med & Greece cruise when it wasn't a RT itinerary. I think that placeholder I have is going to expire because I...

    Maybe we are going to the same Staples. Mine is sold out around a half hour after they open on Sunday morning. One time they got some restock and I was able to get there on a Thursday and grab more cards, but most of the time there is just a tiny 30min window once a month. It's so annoying...

    CapOne? Or just do the VGC deals on the CIC maybe. It's easier said than done where I live though. They really limit those GCs and there are too many people playing this game nearby. Hyatt Gloabalist is great, but I wouldn't spend that much on a Hyatt card to get it unless you can't find...

    I think you just have to be a Hyatt member, but I was looking at those for last summer and there were never any rooms available. It was really frustrating. We ended up staying at the Cotton House (which is a Marriott).

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    I think that FOMO is why I'm still playing, too.

    Next Batch of Cruises

    I was on the 9 nt Med & Greek Isles cruise in 2023 and the ship was pretty full. There were almost no cabins available when I looked online before we left. I thought I would really miss the Magic, but there are some pros to the Dream/Fantasy ships that made for a really nice cruise.

    I have the same problem. I just can't seem to sleep on an airplane, even at night and even in a lie flat seat. I'm so jealous of the people I see who can sleep for 4-6 hours. I'm the one up and reading all night. :( Many of the places I want to visit are far enough away that this is an...

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    Never heard of those shows (and I have Disney+). It just seems pretty lame when they have plenty of Disney things to choose from. This has never been a rah-rah Gameloft is awesome thread, and I prefer to hear what people think, even when it's negative.

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    To be fair, Pixar was always connected with Disney. I don't like the SW characters in my park, but they are also in the real parks, so I get it. The Muppets have been affiliated with Disney for a long time (as in Muppetvision 3D). I don't think there is any connection to Disney or the parks...

    Thank you for all of your reviews. I really need to add things to that thread. We've stayed at Monarch Beach before and really liked it there, and we are considering the newer SFO Hyatt for those early morning flights (jealous you can just hop on BART and get there), so it's really helpful to...

    That's a shame. DH got one for 150K late last year and we were so happy with the SUB but when there is a better offer out there it suddenly doesn't look all shiny and nice now. I've been looking for a better CSR SUB and can't find one so I know how it feels.

    I'd look for a higher offer. I found the 190K offer in my account recently so I know it's out there - you can probably find it online.

    We did a DCL Greek Isles cruise last summer. I booked private excursions with PK Tours (https://www.pktravelgreece.com/ ) for Athens and Santorini Island Tours ( https://santorini-island-tour.com/ ) on Santorini and both were fantastic. I'd happily book with both of them again if we return...

    I forgot to add that all of my London hotel stays were rooms for 3 people. I found it easier to find in London than other parts of Europe, but often I had to book above the base level room.

    Seconding the good info that was already shared. I prefer the Green Park area as well. I've stayed at the Ritz, the Intercontinental, and the Berkeley before we were fully into the points game. I'm booked at the Hyatt Churchill for 2024 because I need Hyatt nights and I have plenty of points...

    The offer was listed in my Amex account under card offers. If I click on someone's link the best I could get was the 120k offer.

    I had no plans to go for a new card any time soon, but I got the 190K offer. Not the 200k offer, but not bad.
