HYATT AND SMALL LUXURY HOTELS OF THE WORLD ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC LOYALTY ALLIANCE – Hyatt Press Release

This is good news for Hyatt fans out there.  It will be interesting to see how the details play out for status etc. This will give us options in areas, like Europe, where Hyatt is severely lacking.

Some TPM Sellers Who Liquidated GCs Receive GiftCard Mart Demand Letter – Travel with Grant

This is an interesting stance from GiftCard Mart and it is a little surprising they have the info of who sold TPM the cards.  I am not sure what to make of that. Don’t forget to check out Shawn’s follow up piece on the topic after getting a quote from the owner of GiftCard Mart.

The mid-year progress report I’ve been putting off writing for two months because I’m so lazy. – Windbag Miles

I think we have all been feeling the application squeeze.  I have cooled off my apps quite a bit after last year’s carnage filled app spree.  I have been more strategic with my applications and I have been focusing more on earning big spend bonuses with the World of Hyatt card and the Hilton Ascend card.  That makes me feel like I am not missing out so much on my non bonus spend.

Why Amex Offers Are Still Great Deals – Running with Miles

This is in response to the large devaluation that came around for Amex Offers last week. I agree with Charlie for the most part.  Having said that I think this change makes below average cards, like the Green charge card, a sure cancellation now when people may have paid the fee in the past because of Amex Offers.
