Got it. Using Uber with CC seems easier sometimes.
What's the main reason you're doing GH over IC or other hotel not so far out? Trying to decide if it worth the schlep. I'm diamond but I can't convince my lazy body to do that walk. The IC just seems so much more convenient.

I'm at the GH because it's a Hyatt and I'm a GOH on a Diamond account (hopefully I'll get matched still). Just walk. You'll be fine.

Smart. The walk wasn't fun in 110° F. and 99% humidity.

Let's not exaggerate. The hottest it ever was it Singapore is 99° F, not 110°.  :D

Various TRs have recommended mosquito repellent for SIN while others haven't mentioned it. Specifically people mention needing it for the Zoo and Sentosa. How necessary is it?
