MEABNOTE: I\u2019ll be going on a blogging vacation at the end of the year and there won\u2019t be any daily posts between December 18 and December 31. After that, we\u2019ll ring in the new year on January 1, 2025 with the 2024 version of Travel Hacking as Told by GIFs though, so no need to be up in arms, but I guess it\u2019s ok if you\u2019re up in legs<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Hyatt now lets you apply Suite Upgrade Certificates to a reservation yourself online<\/a>. In the past, Hyatt’s long had a quirk that when (a) standard suites are available at a property, but (b) standard rooms weren’t available with points, you couldn’t book using points and a suite upgrade certificate without working directly with the property and some luck. That’s now fixed with the new change.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Citi is going to be the exclusive issuer of AA cards in a year and change<\/a>. If you’re Citi banned, getting a Barclays AA card in the next several months may<\/em> get you back in with Citi when they assume the Barclays AA card portfolio, which is also part of the deal.

    Side note: The Citi AA Business card will often bypass Citi bans regardless of this news.

  3. You can currently buy Hilton Honors Points at 0.5 cents per point<\/a>, up to 160,000 points. At the low end (e.x., Lubbock, TX), Hilton points are worth about 0.5 cents so this is a wash, but at high end properties it’s not hard to get 1.5-4.0 cents per point, and 8.0 cents per point isn’t unheard of at the Maldives.

    I wouldn’t buy speculatively but if you know that you’ll be staying at a high end property in the next year, there’s plenty of outsized value to be had.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Monday friends!<\/p>\n\n\n

    A different kind of churner’s triple for those banned at Citi, but 30 years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
