As a Hyatt receptionist what I can say is that when a reservation is booked through fhr (which is a third party) the system tells us not to honor the status perks. It is also quite usual for the status not to be linked when booking third party so they may have not be aware of your globalist status upon check in. Regardless your room should be ready by 3pm regardless and this was a bit weird on their part.
Thanks for the insight! This is the first time we've encountered any issues staying at a Hyatt. Usually it's a seamless experience.
I have booked many Hyatts with FHR and have always gotten full Globalist benefits on top of the FHR benefits. Also at hotels with other brands. The booking shows up in my Hyatt account as an eligible stay and counts towards status. Note that this does NOT occur with THC (Hotel Collection) stays. If the hotel is THC and not FHR, then no status benefits and no elite stay credit.
@@mitsu.hadeishi Good insight. Thanks!
That's why Hyatt sucks.
I think it depends if it's prepaid or paid at hotel? Prepaid ones show up as expedia booking so no benefits.
Dang, Sebastian is a pro level traveler. I wouldn’t know how to juggle all those reservations and credits in a single trip.
It was fun hearing about all the hotel experiences! You're making me realize that I need to use the FHR benefits more
Sushi neko is solid recommendation. I am very much looking forward to trying that place next time I am in Vegas. Thanks Seb!
Good to hear you are visiting HK. Enjoy your trip!!. 🃏
Newly Discoverd but jam-packed with so much useful information /education. Tremendous Value presented Extremely well! Thank you!
Great video! Love the updates
Next level travel pro!! You’ve helped me so much maximize cc benefits 😊. 🃏
🃏 Thank you fore all the great information you provide!
I can't believe I saw you in Vegas! Thank you for the photo op and your continued creation of these videos!
Nice meeting you, Laz! :)
Outstanding content Sebby...Well done my Friend :)
🃏Cool video - I really enjoyed it!
Love that Snoopy watch! Congrats!
🃏 Great video
Another great video🃏
Love these videos seb keep making more of these
Thank you! :)
🃏 thanks Sebbe. Great vid.
🃏 I love these type of videos always great too see all the value you can get when playing your cards right 👌 Just noticed your the only youtuber i watch that carries the vanilla platinum and not the schwab platinum 😅
I use Hyatt for all other expenses, as it's basically a 2x card(3x on restaurants, local transit and gym) until $15,000. I get a cat 1-4 cert which is worth 12,000 to 18,000 points, and 6 elite nights, which helps me tremendously to the 30-night milestone, which gives me another cat 1-4 cert.
🃏Loved this vid more than most as it focused on some areas I focus on.
🃏 amazing as always.
🃏 thanks for the tip about delta lounge access on arrival. I didn’t realize this was possible again.
These redemption videos are my favorite! Sebby actually walks the walk, while most RUclipsr only talk the talk
Congrats on the Silver Snoopy! I don't have that kind of patience. I did buy my Aqua Terra from a boutique and I find that the Omega boutiques tend to have staff who are more knowledgeable and fun to have conversations with than third party ADs.
🃏 great video!!
🃏 Tulum this week, working on an Ink Premier SUB (taxes will finish that up, alongside an Amex Plat Biz retention offer), with a WoH card along for its (targeted) 5x on gas/grocery.
Need to put together a trip like yours to leverage benefits from a bunch of Amex cards.
Got military orders to Okinawa Japan and livin’ the life here! Stacking up AMEX points to book a flight to maldives within a year or so! Also, the base is recognized as USA territory so 7X on hilton for food purchases
I didn't travel this month, but I just today booked a trip to Munich in June with my gold card. Will probably also use it to book an FHR or two :) Very excited! I also have the Delta skymiles platinum but flights to Munich on Delta were a fat $600 more than flights on AA. That's $600 I can spend on an FHR!
Congrats on the snoopy! Awesome watch.
Thanks!
Congrats on finally getting that Omega Sebby!
For me, finally got out of 5/24 on the 1st and immediately applied for CFU. Completing the chase trifecta and use my 120k pts for last hurrah with Hyatt at the EOY.
Thank you! :)
I love the trip reports!
Thanks :)
🃏 great video
🃏congrats on the snoopy. I love my omegas. I have learned quite a bit from you and really look forward to you videos… any advice on the best way to maximize or use points strategies toward Airbnb‘s. I am usually a hotel guy too but with a family Airbnb’s become necessary.
Damn congrats on the snoopy! One of my favorite case backs
Thanks :)
Terrific story. The Beakman is one one of my favorites when on the south end of NYC. I have got to get better at using my FHR credit. 🃏
🃏 Always great content!
I'm so jealous about your snoopy!! Congrats, Sebby! 🃏🃏🃏
Thanks! 😃
🃏 Hyatt is the only place I've stayed at so far where the receptionist tried to upsell a better room when mine wasn't ready yet (at 4:30pm), and she tried making it sound like she was doing me a favor 😂
🥃 congratulations on the new watch
Congrats on the Snoopy! That is an absolutely gorgeous Omega!
Thank you! :)
I applied for and was approved for Capital One Venture X through your link a few days ago. Thanks for reviewing it.
Thank you for your support! :)
Listening to your upgrades and strategies, my head hurt!
awesome vid, thank you! even though i’m deep in the sauce on credit cards, wifey would say obsessed lol, these are amex plat features i didn’t know about. i have a friend who’s always getting late check out with her platinum card and know i damn know why hahahaha; couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. thank you again for posting this. i have the platinum but usually always use hotels cards. now i see the even greater value of the card and will make more use of it.
🃏no trips this month yet but, hope to learn how to use my credit cards like you one day! That was A LOT of upgrades😮💨
Im used to use one or two credit in a trip but Sebby is a pro for juggling all those credits in a single tripppp
🃏 it’s nice to hear how the points master plays the game. Thanks for sharing your redemptions Sebby!
Glad you enjoy it! :)
🃏 Signing up for newsletter! This was one of the best travel videos yet. Question 1 how are you getting globalist? Since I stopped traveling for business I think all my Hyatt stays have been non-rev. 2. If you feeling generous how do you have status on Delta do you have cash flights?
Awesome video
Thanks!
wow I want the snoopy! nice grab!
🃏great video! I’m FHRing Crocksfords tomorrow, hope I land in the west wing too 😂
LMAO @ algorithm jail 🤣🤣
thanks for this video , just got this card this year because of you!
🃏 We were at the Resorts World and ran into you coming from the parking garage. We were spending some of our Hilton points from our Aspire and Surpass cards. Along with the Aspire $250 Hilton resort credit. 👍
🃏
Not this month, but in late February booked Conrad Midtown NYC using one FNC and the rest of the nights with Hilton Honors points (transferred from MR). We got upgraded to a two-queen room, which was perfect since we had an unexpected player three that joined us during the trip.
🃏 going to be going to Tennessee this month and then Vegas, San Francisco, and Colorado next month… I might upgrade my sapphire preferred to the reserve 🤔 I used to have the Amex gold but canceled it a couple of years and the platinum seems like a lot of money for me even though I’m traveling almost every single month 😅
🃏 Love seeing these videos of using your cards and strategies in the real world.
It’s amazing that you have multiple certificates to use between player 1 and 2. Please do a video of how you split cards between the two of you and maximize. E.g multiple Hyatt cards or multiple hilton cards. What’s the optimal play here?
Booked through Hyatt using points for spring break bc per night room was $$ but used FHR for Orlando and was able to use the credits and perks - 🃏
I'm going on a cruise this week and I'll be taking my Amex Platinum, Venture X and CSR cards with me.
Decked out with top of the line cards lineup 👌
🃏 congrats on the watch. I have the 2 Casino Royale Bond watches: Seamaster and the Planet Ocean. Love them.
Thank you!! Are you getting the new 60th anniversary one?
@Ask Sebby recently focusing on Rolex. Pepsi, Panda and Hulk.
traveled to Miami last week...first time using new Platinum for access to Delta Sky Clubs in Atlanta and Miami, both times around breakfast. Was a nice perk and my first lounge experience. I think I am hooked!
Congrats, ATL & MIA are constant Delta lounges for me. The MIA lounge is very easy to access from passing through TSA and onwards to your gate.
Great video! Would it be possible for you to do a points redemption guide/tutorial for transferring points to airlines like ANA for trips to Asia?
🃏Hey Sebby! Really informative video, truly appreciate how detailed you are. I was curious when you mentioned “certificates” . I was wondering how you get those? Thank, and really enjoy your content!
Free night certificate from the World of Hyatt card.
Can you do an updated video on the Hyatt personal credit cards?
🃏I learned quite a bit from this video about redemption methods as well as places to stay on future trips, thanks!
Interesting that now the dining credit at Resort had changed. When I was there in December 2022, Resort World had changed the food and beverage credit to one restaurant, the one that had the half VW van. I issued a complaint. Now, I see RW has reverted back to allowing guests to use other restaurants.
🃏Hey Sebby! Not sure why you fell off of my algorithm but I’m sl glad you’re back!! Great video!
Thanks for watching! :)
🃏 Was actually in Vegas the Tuesday - Thursday before you (super cheap in-between March Madness weekends). This is my third year using my FHR credits, so still pretty new at maximizing. Tried Virgin Hotel two nights, then NoMad the second two nights. The rates were roughly the same and I enjoyed both hotels, but NoMad had notably nicer vibe, room and food credits: $60 daily breakfast ($30 per person) and $100 food/beverage credit through FHR across most of the MGM restaurants. Honestly hadn't considered FHR in Vegas until watching your experiences with it, so thanks for the advice!
Went to park city Utah took platinum and gold, sapphire reserve for travel category and blue business plus
🃏Great Video. In my experience flying redeye's to JFK from another big city (LAX in my case) is always a hard pull for upgrades due to the heavy business travel.
The 50th Anniversary Snoopy, damn!!!!!!!! If I had know I could get on the list at Bellagio, I definitely would have done so. I tried to get a discount on an Omega watch 2 years ago that is not in high demand there and the sales people would not budge. So, I never went back in there after multiple stays in the past two years.
What a great watch, it’s. A Classic and worth a lot more than retail!
I didn’t know that you could book at the MGM using Hyatt points, which I take it means that you could also book using UR points. If so, that’s pretty cool. Now I’m curious what other hotels in Vegas I can book using UR points.
🃏 i traveled to atl recently and got upgraded to their studio common from my Marriott brilliant card also used the food credit from that card and my Amex gold. I haven’t taken advantage of the FHR with my platinum card yet
Always love to see the different meals that Sebby and Mandy get in the various places that they visit! I do not know how they are not 300 pounds though 😳 🤣🃏
Tons of HIIT classes between travels!
Welcome to the Speed master family!
Thanks! 😁
Can you speak on Max Rewards, Mint, etc and what we can use along with your website?
🃏 Just got approved for the Chase Bonvoy Boundless card. I plan on using the points for travel this summer.
I just used my first $200 Hotel Collection credit at Virgin Hotels in Vegas. Since we drive, I prefer off strip. We'll have our first FHR stay in Vancouver next month. 🃏
Crocksford is our favorite hotel in Vegas!!
Move to Williamsburg! I'm like a 10 min walk from the Indigo.
I used Marriott points for TS in Chicago. Points rooms going for $1200 a night that weekend!
I also went to Vegas to see Taylor Swift! I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria via a Hotwire deal (we were able to match up the images and confirm it was Waldorf prior to booking). The lobby is under construction so we had to walk a bit to get to reception. Room was amazing and it was just at $300 for the one Saturday night we stayed. I was able to add my Hilton Gold status to room but not get any perks as it was third party booking. The only snafu we had was we asked for late check out, was told 1 PM, and at 11:30 AM I received a text asking why our stuff was still in the room! We had to run back from breakfast to grab our things but nothing major. Taylor was great. Definitely want to check out the sushi place you recommended in Las Vegas!
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽 any recommendations for a luxury hotel in Vegas without the riff raf ? 😂
LOL all of Vegas is riff raff. Maybe The Mansion at MGM if you can get in 😛
🃏 I get all of my platinum hacks from you. Thank you.
🌸 how did you fit so much food and drink? Lol. I would do fly that trip!
I've called amex and even for multi-city trip, with one-ways throughout, so long as you return home it is round trip. I pressed even asking if it's between different carriers but still charged to Amex, they said so long as it's charged to the plat, I get insurance benefits.
🃏 how did you find out about the 50th anniversary snoopy, and did you talk about it 2 years ago on your channel? Love your videos!
Also booked Crockfords for the Sunday night of that weekend. First time in Vegas but I can't imagine it's normally THAT busy without the NCAA and Taylor.
There was also a large ecommerce conference the next few days! Bellagio was $400+ for the cash price.
@@AskSebby The Waldorf was going for $800+ that Saturday as well.
As for Crockford’s, your content previously had me excited to go and it didn’t dissapoint. Can’t wait to go back
🃏 I really like the “what’s in my wallet” updates. Why the double cash over the Venture X if they both get 2x?
I’ve stayed twice at the crockfords and my upgrade the 1st time with plat wasn’t all that and did they just add suns out? We were there for thanksgiving and I didn’t see it listed. I love that hotel because of my anxiety. I’d love a more in-depth look at how to maximize my stays there if possible. Thank you 😊
Haven't taken any trips yet but I've got some coming up this Summer. Balancing the CSP $50 travel portal credit, Amex Platinum FHR $200 credit, Citi Premier $100 hotel credit, and a few different free nights.
Honestly if I wasn't getting retention offers for the Platinum I'd have cancelled it by now. I can get near full value from the Digital Entertainment credit and mostly full value from the Uber credit, but everything else I can't justify counting it at face value. The FHR credit seems like a solid use if you are going to Vegas, but I checked in every city I'm traveling to this year and can't really find hotels under $400 a night after taxes/fees.
Getting a bit frustrated with the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless as well. With the dynamic awards chart, there's pretty much no where but airport hotels to use the free night.
Agree on the FHR, its hard to use vs Hyatt Points. I'm in the same boat on the Plat what are you paying after the retention bonus?
@@ChristianMillerUS I was offered 20k point for $3k spend in 3 months. Seems like the conventional wisdom is Amex points are in the 2 cents / point neighborhood so after that I'm coming out somewhere in the neighborhood of $200-300 ahead.
Unfortunately since I got my promotion I don’t get time off much. My last day off was on my birthday in July. I do want to travel more. I have the delta reserve card. I’m just weighing my options on what to add to it. The Amex platinum is nice.
Love these types of travel reviews!
Thanks :)
“somehow i went from player 1 to player 3” 😂😂 why did your sister do you like that
Im from New Zealand and unfortunately the credit cards here are very basic as are the points, there isnt a huge variety, so its really interesting watching your videos and seeing how it is overseas
Wow!
I was in the same hotel on Saturday night. I took my daughters to the Taylor Swift concert! To think, I could have met Sebby and Mandy!!!
🃏 do you have a "how to earn certificates" video?
Also, you can use FHR on one night stays?!
🃏 Hello Sebby! The FHR perk is my favorite! I got out of jail! Keep hope alive if you’re if you’re still getting the pop up 😊
can you explain the delta game you were doing in this video
