- 60,000 Hyatt points for the Vista Hot Tub Suite at the Alila Ventana Big Sur. My dream is to drive a 1966 Cobra (red with white racing stripes) down the Pacific Coast Highway and stay in a great suite here.
- Hyatt points advance lets you go into a negative balance
- 1000 Southwest points for using Turbotax, even the free version extended through July 15.
- Zoom is now worth more than the world’s 7 largest airlines
- Brian Kelly’s Skype room, rated:
One nice piece of art. One nice accent wall. One stagey short stack of books. It’s not the middle seat but needs more legroom. 6/10 @thepointsguy pic.twitter.com/d9OvXxi3qv

My dream is to not have to cancel my birthday trip in Nashville this October to eat hot chicken and go honky tonkin’ due to a second wave of COVID-19.
Already cancelled everything until then.
The Cobra must be Guardsman Blue. Carroll Shelby requires this.
There’s a reason the points guy likes.metal credit cards…
(it makes it easier to cut blow)
Does Marriott still have a points advance policy?
That’s seriously your dream trip?
@Robert – 66 Cobra along the PCH, stopping in at a great hotel? Absolutely. Bear in mind I’ve been all over the world already.
@Gary, what are u waiting for?
NorCal resident here–I take the road trip down Highway 1 thru Big Sur every summer, it never gets old.(BTW-PCH is what people call the L.A. stretch of Hwy 1). Was booked at the Ventana for my bday in April-cancelled since the hotel was closed; rebooked to June, just notified cancelled again due to COVID.
