[Update] Chase INK Business Card Referrals Are Back with Family Referral System (Includes Increased 75k/100k Offers) – Doctor of Credit

The good news is this offer is back for people in two player systems etc.  The bad news is it looks like the yearly caps are per account now vs per card.

HYATT ZIVA CANCUN: WHY I LEFT EARLY AND FORFEITED $600 + FLIGHTS – Bougie Miles

Such a bizarre story.  I have heard the service at this property is not very good from others too.

Man jailed for 30 months for stealing 2,000 Spirit Airlines flights – Secret Flying

Stealing $30 flights…genius!  Should flying 2,000 Spirit flights be punishment enough, or no 🤣?  In all seriousness I actually enjoy flying Spirit.

  1. We literally have been at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun over a dozen times, and this seems to be completely the opposite of our experience just a few weeks ago. The staff could not have been any more gracious, expressing gratitude for our return to Cancun. Relaxed, courteous, and always making an extra effort to make us feel welcome. As a matter of fact, we are going back next Friday. Not even for a moment have we ever felt unsafe there. So unfortunate Bethany’s experience was so unpleasant.

    • Have a great trip Doc. I think most people will be fine at Ziva (or most hotels) because things usually go as planned during a trip. Sadly this just seemed like a comedy of errors that snowballed.

  2. Stayed at Hyatt Ziva Cancun twice in the past with friends and had a great time and always felt safe. Then again the property may have changed since I last visited early last year.

  3. I loved my visit to the Hyatt Ziva Cancun a few years ago and had no service issues at all. Far superior to Hyatt’s Jamaica properties which are the only other Hyatt all inclusives I have tried. But what happened to Bethany is obviously inexcusable.

  4. We’ve been to Hyatt Ziva Cancun twice as a family of four and have a had amazing times with great service. The story here from Bougie Miles sounds really unfortunate. On a side note, her article said, “I’m used to people staring at me because I’m so beautiful.” LOL.
