Has there been any word of Chase PYB categories after June 30th?
Nope. Seen people asking about it. One thought with travel back they may not see a reason to do it.

Yeah I'm not getting any ads or popupsI was never having any issues, Was just saying I don't browse this site without an ad blocker. Not sure if its changed much in the past few years but it was horrible awhile back.
Anyone who's been to Costa Rica stayed at Los Altos Resort or Andaz Peninsula Papagayo (Hyatt properties)? Pro or cons? Difficulty booking?
Both seem to have availablity for my dates but of course won't let me actually see because I don't have enough points and I don't want to transfer without being certain.
I'm thinking split stay for these 2 for Spring break in March. We've been twice but DS does not remember as he was 3 when he went. We loved Manuel Antonio when we were there, so Los Altos looks great.If you do not login to your Hyatt account - you should be able to see points availability.
We've booked the Andaz for next February - split stay with The Tabacon Thermal Resort. Had no problem booking either one.

When not logged in, it says "rates from 20,000 per night" and I can't go further. But when logged in it now shows 66,000 points for 3 nights for one resort (I guess because I'm close at 60k points?) but the other just says "not enough points to book" without telling me the actual points so I know how much to transfer.If you do not login to your Hyatt account - you should be able to see points availability.

Thanks I will look into this before booking.Haven’t been, but I looked into the Los Altos Resort. I think the points rate is only for double occupancy. Extra person would be $150/night for age >12.
If you want to PM me the info, I am happy to look for you. I have a bunch of points.When not logged in, it says "rates from 20,000 per night" and I can't go further.

Thanks. I was able to chat to find out. Plus I asked about additional fees for a 14 yo child per @wanderlust7 and was told none (screenshot that for sure) So I transferred URs and booked! Dang my UR balance is low. 80k points will post Monday but looks like I need another card.If you want to PM me the info, I am happy to look for you. I have a bunch of points.
Stories like this inspire me to try "the game" again but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I think if I could ever figure out all the abbreviations on this board that would help, haha!Earlier this year Chase had an offer with their SWA card for 100,000 points with a $10K spend. Used those points and some already on the account to get four round trip tickets to WDW this Thanksgiving week. Then I used my BoA premium rewards cards to pat for the taxes and Early Bird option for both trips. BotTom line was it cost me $4.80 for the four tickets, I love playing the game.
ha, it's page 1 of this thread the game is easy to start out with one system like chase or AMEX. Become obsessed and then end up having both for everything. We're here to help! I've given up trying to get my dad to use rewards for all the cruises they do they don't get it and then they always ask how I am affording XYZ I say points and I honestly don't think they believe me lol.Stories like this inspire me to try "the game" again but I just can't seem to get the hang of it.

I have one ad on the top of the page I don't block ads they help pay for the site. With the amount of traffic the disboards get I am willing to bet this is a 30k a year hosting charge. Dont mean to sound like a downer but ads help pay for things.Yeah I'm not getting any ads or popups
I don't mind a few ads, they pay the bills. I started using Opera a few years ago when the popups were unbearable. I don't use ad blocking software but I don't currently have any ads.I have one ad on the top of the page I don't block ads they help pay for the site.

This is the step I missed. No worries though. Got it booked. So excited even though 270 days away! I'm not one to calculate how much I get out of my points as my goal is 'free' but dang those rooms at Andaz are $1100 per night for our stay, 22k points is quite the deal.OK - if I can see availability at the "rates from 20,000 per night" - then I look at the points calendar to determine the nightly cost
ahh nice yeah i only have the one at the topI don't mind a few ads, they pay the bills. I started using Opera a few years ago when the popups were unbearable. I don't use ad blocking software but I don't currently have any ads.
ETA, now I'm getting an ad banner at the bottom which is pretty unobtrusive.
