Hyatt hotels - specifically park Hyatt properties

like

This. I almost exclusively stay at Hyatt properties, most of the time on points. Have an trip in a few weeks and staying at the Park Hyatt in DC, Zürich, and Vienna - all on points.

Hyatt is the easiest and from the sound of it you're a beginner, so I'd stick with that for now.

Business class flights are more complicated and scoring more than 1 seat is even harder. Look into award travel subreddit and 10x travel course.

I live by this
You can filter by chase points and find biz class to Europe for 2, like twice for 400k

like

Do you want to take a utilitarian approach and get the most trips out of your points?

Do you want to fly internationally in business class?

Do you want a pure maximized ROI per point and get a $15k first class seat?

Are you just booking for yourself

It rarely makes sense to book through the portal. Use seats.aero to search for business class flights.

In terms of “easy” its usually pretty simple to find USA -> Europe in business on aeroplan or united, for about 80-100k each way. especially from non-hub cities ( I was able to do this in the middle of the summer with a few days notice ) and on the plus side united lets you cancel for free and low on surcharges.

Then you have some more unicorn instances , like USA to South Africa or Australia on united for 120k or so each way in biz if it happens to be a non peak day or low flight load

People who don’t submit their time daily, how do you remember what you did and for how long? I’ve always just submitted each timer as soon as I finish a task—“call with x re y” really doesn’t take that long even if I’m busy, and if I don’t do it immediately I’ll forget all those little I did in the morning by the time I go to bed.
