Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

I don't see an option to do that online? Is it something I need to call up after reservation is made?

Is there any reason for or against periodically combining all Chase points onto a full UR card (CSP, Bold, Plus), or leaving them on the cards where they were earned?

Hi all!
I'm planning on applying (among other things) for my first Chase hotel cards shortly to use on a trip in a few months.
With regards to the Hyatt, Marriott Premier, and Priority Club cards, is there a difference between them with regards to the availability of booking nights with points? In other words, is it easier using Hyatt free nights or Marriott points?
TIA!

Not sure about availability, but check which hotels are located where you want to go.
