I’m actually 3/24, but I got rejected for a CSP because I applied for it too soon after getting the Freedom. So I’m waiting until it’s been 2 months since the CSP application. Besides the freedom, I currently have a 4 year old secured card, and a Discover it and Amex Gold that are both about 9 months old.
What the heck? You got this as an upgrade from a base room? I stayed at Conrad Koh Samui as a diamond and I thought I got a nice upgrade but it was nothing close to this lol
I almost spit milk out of my nose while eating cereal when you said I am not doing #1 then I realized what you meant and why you said that hahahahhahahahahhahaha
I thought this hotel didn't count for the "Free Weekend Night Certificate" you get from the Aspire. At least is one of the listed properties by Hilton in their exclusion list. Did something change?
Sometimes you get unlucky. We went in December, which is supposed to be sunny. "Best Time to Visit Koh Samui for Good Weather: Late December to April has great weather, little rain, and lots of sun. From May to September there's still plenty of sun but you will get some rain" Per: santorinidave.com/best-time-to-visit-koh-samui
Hi Sebastian! At the moment I only have a secured credit card (BofA), if I get another secured card am I going to build my credit faster? Thanks a million
I have an exciting 3 part comment: 1) I'd like to think that I contributed ~10% to one of your nights here (used your referral link). 2) Do you think they upgraded you because you are now relatively well-known now or because it's off-peak? 3) If you're traveling with friends/family and you get upgraded to this 3 bedroom suite, can they cancel their rooms and hunker down together?
1) Thanks :) 2) We went during shoulder season (Dec 2018; peak is Dec to April). I think having status is still a key component. Hotel status seems to matter a lot in Asia (from my experience). It probably also helps that I'm carrying a gimbal + big camera at check-in ("must be vlogger"). 3) It would be too late to cancel the other rooms since most upgrades tend to happen VERY close to the actual stay (in my experience).

You should try Mandarin Oriental Bangkok and you will love it..
Too bad there's not really a way to do it with points.
@@AskSebby Actually there is but it will be equivilant to about 70,000 marriott points per night
THE MOMENT YOU HEAR YOU HAVE BEEN UPGRADED 🤩🥳
Music to my ears 🙌
Define “intense shower”
👀👀👀
😂😂😂😂😂
Seinfeld black market
I thought they were going to take us to the beach with them lol
I'll post it on the vlog channel and do a property tour :)

That is massive! Looks amazing!
Sebby didn't clarify he wasn't doing a #2 in the second bathroom. WHAT DID YOU SHOW US!?!?
👀 (this was a pretty funny video to re-watch since it was from Dec 2018)
Never even heard of this place but now i need to visit!
It's basically the Hawaii of Thailand (from my understanding).
Koh Tao is on my list to get certified for diving :)
Excellent video and fabulous accommodations Sebby!!! You rock
Thanks for watching Ruel! :)
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge on credit cards 🤙🏼
Sebby is killing it with the ugrade/downgrade strategy with the Hilton cards... THIS IS SICK
Thanks for the support Gilbert :)
I’m currently gardening but you’re making it really hard to resist applying for the Hilton Aspire...
How long until you're under 5/24 (assuming that's why you're gardening)? :)

How were the other rooms? I was curious but I felt like a jerk asking for a tour since it was pretty busy.
@7:00 You dirty dawg you 🤣
wow now that is an upgrade
Thanks for the video guys. Have a good time. Unless of course you are already back.
This was from Dec 2018 :) Thanks for the constant support Davish!
@@AskSebby I was wondering if y'all had gone there again. You are welcome. Keep up the good work.
When were you upgraded? Looks amazing!
Dec 2018 :)
Love this content bro!!!! Let's GOOOOOO 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
🙌
Really enjoyed the video man. Can’t wait to find someone to take baecation’s with again it’s been a while haha
Great video waiting on the blog link.
It's in the first line of the description box: bit.ly/33D8L8p
Amazing. 😍
😄
The sickest resort I've seen Sebb!!!
Thanks for watching Kevin :)
Notification squad!!! 💪💪💪 Keep it up Sebby!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I almost spit milk out of my nose while eating cereal when you said I am not doing #1 then I realized what you meant and why you said that hahahahhahahahahhahaha
That line would have probably been better with the 2nd toilet :)
I'm glad someone else found it funny (Mandy wasn't amused).
How did you get the upgrade? Thanks
What a wonderful thing to do.
😊
When do they release award nights for this property? Is it also a year in advance?
Can you do a video about how you booked this? Thank you!
Thanks Sebby!
Thanks for watching Tyrone :)
I need this upgrade m, I would literally go lay in every bed to make the most of it lol
Loved it !!!
😍
Very nice 👍🏼😬
I thought this hotel didn't count for the "Free Weekend Night Certificate" you get from the Aspire. At least is one of the listed properties by Hilton in their exclusion list. Did something change?
a) You can use it at the Conrad Koh Samui.
b) You can NOT use it at the Conrad Koh Samui Residences.
We used it for A but were upgraded to B.
@@AskSebby Thanks! That makes sense!
Did the weather ever get nice or did it stay rainy while you were there?
Sometimes you get unlucky. We went in December, which is supposed to be sunny.

So we can't go to the beach with you guys? Bummer. Sebby sitting on every toilet. Lol. Like button whacked.
I was going to post it (and a property tour) as a separate video on ruclips.net/user/sebbyfung
Sick bro!!! 👌🏼

No, you only need 1 secured card. If you want to talk strategy: www.asksebby.com/free-card-consultation

@@AskSebby You still need to do a live Q&A!
Ha ha I’m staying at 25 to 35 dollar hotels in Thailand next month. Less than the taxes on that place
Beautiful place but a bit of a waste for only two people.
Yep :(
👍
will sebby respond to me? show me some love fam!
