Hyatt Offering 30% Bonus on Point Purchases
« on: May 16, 2016, 01:07:16 PM »
IMO this would be valuable to someone looking to top off their account. Otherwise, if your looking for a cheap way to book the high teir properties, I would by a sign up night from someone for cheaper.

This is the type of write up I would have expected from Dan.. I guess he's too busy with drone deals...

He wrote about it because he gets paid for it just like he writes about all mileage purchases, even Alaska the week after they devalued.
1.85 is too expensive for Hyatt points. Go buy some Hyatt nights or Chase points on the grey market.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Chase will likely cost close to 1.8 to buy from a broker, and they may not want to sell small amounts (being as you can only transfer to a limited amount of people). Hyatt will be cheaper, but that doesn't help you if you want to top off your account.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Unless you transfer it to yourself
But that's a bit of a pain

Selling for 1.6. Buying from a broker would quite possibly be close to 1.8.

FTFY, why would he care if you sold your points elsewhere

The irony is that if I did post this I'd have a dozen comments on the post asking how dare I make a post about buying miles at such an expensive rate.
Can't win.

I have to say Dan, you do a great job when deciding what to post and what not to post. The site is run and named after you. At this point I hope you don't care what the trolls say to you. Keep doing your good work!

Sometimes people are not familiar if the value i good or not. Most hyatt members got the email about this sale. Many turn to DD to see if he breaks it down and see if its worth it. It doesnt always have to be positive,  sometimes its just a discussion

I've never really used DD as a discussion platform, it's a deals platform.  That's what DDF and DDFB are for.
If it's not a good enough deal I usually will just ignore it.

Agreed, as opposed to Lucky who loves to post these things (perhaps has to) and then end it with, "This deal is not for me, but does it work for you? Sound off in the comments!"

I can't stand that.

No, but FB is bigger than DDFB
