Which hotels, if you don’t mind? All the resorts I frequent have like a $200 premium per night, and I already get breakfast and stuff, so the only real win is guaranteed 4pm checkout vs based on availability. I’d love to stop either burning the credit or only using it on Amans.
Mostly places near southern California:
Neat, thank you. Finding FHR options has been a challenge, wish there was a datapoint thread for those.
You inspired me to check FHR again, and I ended up booking Halekulani for next week. Amazingly, it’s the exact same price, making it a genuinely good value. A good property too, can’t believe I’ve never checked FHR for it. I went and double checked and I don’t think I’ve burnt an FHR credit before, but if I have, it double sucks to not have known this prior.
Cheers!
Awesome have a great trip!
When booking hotels my process goes:
Check Google for cost in the area, then in this order book what is reasonably around that price:
FHR/THC > Marriott > Hilton > Amex Portal > Hyatt > other chain direct site > Discount sites
I have the Aspire and Ritz cards right now (I plan to downgrade the aspire when I hit 1 year unless I get a retention offer).
