💳 Sebby's Card Picks: www.asksebby.com/credit-cards How to find the 150k Amex Plat Offer: www.asksebby.com/guides/amex-plat-cardmatch Check out Ocho Money: www.asksebby.com/ocho

As a Hyatt receptionist what I can say is that when a reservation is booked through fhr (which is a third party) the system tells us not to honor the status perks. It is also quite usual for the status not to be linked when booking third party so they may have not be aware of your globalist status upon check in. Regardless your room should be ready by 3pm regardless and this was a bit weird on their part.

Thanks for the insight! This is the first time we've encountered any issues staying at a Hyatt. Usually it's a seamless experience.

I have booked many Hyatts with FHR and have always gotten full Globalist benefits on top of the FHR benefits. Also at hotels with other brands. The booking shows up in my Hyatt account as an eligible stay and counts towards status. Note that this does NOT occur with THC (Hotel Collection) stays. If the hotel is THC and not FHR, then no status benefits and no elite stay credit.

I think it depends if it's prepaid or paid at hotel? Prepaid ones show up as expedia booking so no benefits.

Dang, Sebastian is a pro level traveler. I wouldn’t know how to juggle all those reservations and credits in a single trip.

It was fun hearing about all the hotel experiences! You're making me realize that I need to use the FHR benefits more

These redemption videos are my favorite! Sebby actually walks the walk, while most KZreadr only talk the talk

Sushi neko is solid recommendation. I am very much looking forward to trying that place next time I am in Vegas. Thanks Seb!

I use Hyatt for all other expenses, as it's basically a 2x card(3x on restaurants, local transit and gym) until $15,000. I get a cat 1-4 cert which is worth 12,000 to 18,000 points, and 6 elite nights, which helps me tremendously to the 30-night milestone, which gives me another cat 1-4 cert.

🃏 Hyatt is the only place I've stayed at so far where the receptionist tried to upsell a better room when mine wasn't ready yet (at 4:30pm), and she tried making it sound like she was doing me a favor 😂

Congrats on the Silver Snoopy! I don't have that kind of patience. I did buy my Aqua Terra from a boutique and I find that the Omega boutiques tend to have staff who are more knowledgeable and fun to have conversations with than third party ADs.

🃏 Tulum this week, working on an Ink Premier SUB (taxes will finish that up, alongside an Amex Plat Biz retention offer), with a WoH card along for its (targeted) 5x on gas/grocery. Need to put together a trip like yours to leverage benefits from a bunch of Amex cards.

🃏 I love these type of videos always great too see all the value you can get when playing your cards right 👌 Just noticed your the only youtuber i watch that carries the vanilla platinum and not the schwab platinum 😅

I didn't travel this month, but I just today booked a trip to Munich in June with my gold card. Will probably also use it to book an FHR or two :) Very excited! I also have the Delta skymiles platinum but flights to Munich on Delta were a fat $600 more than flights on AA. That's $600 I can spend on an FHR!

wow I want the snoopy! nice grab!

LMAO @ algorithm jail 🤣🤣 thanks for this video , just got this card this year because of you!

I've called amex and even for multi-city trip, with one-ways throughout, so long as you return home it is round trip. I pressed even asking if it's between different carriers but still charged to Amex, they said so long as it's charged to the plat, I get insurance benefits.

Interesting that now the dining credit at Resort had changed. When I was there in December 2022, Resort World had changed the food and beverage credit to one restaurant, the one that had the half VW van. I issued a complaint. Now, I see RW has reverted back to allowing guests to use other restaurants.

🃏 Not this month, but in late February booked Conrad Midtown NYC using one FNC and the rest of the nights with Hilton Honors points (transferred from MR). We got upgraded to a two-queen room, which was perfect since we had an unexpected player three that joined us during the trip.

traveled to Miami last week...first time using new Platinum for access to Delta Sky Clubs in Atlanta and Miami, both times around breakfast. Was a nice perk and my first lounge experience. I think I am hooked!

🃏 Was actually in Vegas the Tuesday - Thursday before you (super cheap in-between March Madness weekends). This is my third year using my FHR credits, so still pretty new at maximizing. Tried Virgin Hotel two nights, then NoMad the second two nights. The rates were roughly the same and I enjoyed both hotels, but NoMad had notably nicer vibe, room and food credits: $60 daily breakfast ($30 per person) and $100 food/beverage credit through FHR across most of the MGM restaurants. Honestly hadn't considered FHR in Vegas until watching your experiences with it, so thanks for the advice!

I also went to Vegas to see Taylor Swift! I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria via a Hotwire deal (we were able to match up the images and confirm it was Waldorf prior to booking). The lobby is under construction so we had to walk a bit to get to reception. Room was amazing and it was just at $300 for the one Saturday night we stayed. I was able to add my Hilton Gold status to room but not get any perks as it was third party booking. The only snafu we had was we asked for late check out, was told 1 PM, and at 11:30 AM I received a text asking why our stuff was still in the room! We had to run back from breakfast to grab our things but nothing major. Taylor was great. Definitely want to check out the sushi place you recommended in Las Vegas!

I'm going on a cruise this week and I'll be taking my Amex Platinum, Venture X and CSR cards with me.

The 50th Anniversary Snoopy, damn!!!!!!!! If I had know I could get on the list at Bellagio, I definitely would have done so.

So, I never went back in there after multiple stays in the past two years.

I’ve stayed twice at the crockfords and my upgrade the 1st time with plat wasn’t all that and did they just add suns out? We were there for thanksgiving and I didn’t see it listed. I love that hotel because of my anxiety. I’d love a more in-depth look at how to maximize my stays there if possible. Thank you 😊

I’m running into an issue where I have the chase trifecta with the CFF, CFU, and CSP and I want lounge access as I’ve already been on 4 domestic trips this year and will be on a few more. But I’m not sure if downgrading the CSP then going for the CSR sub is worth it or just opening a Venture X should be my next step. I do love having the CSPs 3x streaming and 3x online grocery because I always pick up groceries and if you have a Kroger, Kroger pay will count as online too in store which I would hate to lose a grocery card since the CSR doesn’t have that benefit… what do people think makes more sense?

Anything expensive = Amex Plat for purchase protection and extended warranty

Hi Sebby. Question if you have time. Does the Amex Platinum and Delta SkyMiles Reserve both have access to the Centurion Lounges and Delta Sky Clubs? I feel like they have access to the same lounges because of their tier but I can be mistaken. Thanks.

🃏 do you have a "how to earn certificates" video? Also, you can use FHR on one night stays?!

I used Marriott points for TS in Chicago. Points rooms going for $1200 a night that weekend!

🃏 how did you find out about the 50th anniversary snoopy, and did you talk about it 2 years ago on your channel? Love your videos!

🃏 i traveled to atl recently and got upgraded to their studio common from my Marriott brilliant card also used the food credit from that card and my Amex gold. I haven’t taken advantage of the FHR with my platinum card yet

If you have multiple Hilton Aspire CC do you need separate Hilton Honors Accts to get the anniversary FWC? Or does it both “load” up on your single Hilton Honors Acct?
