Just used last of my points in Hyatt and delta airlines saved from my 2 years traveling in consulting.
How do everyone generally plan exotic vacations without points. Stayed at Hyatt in Maui..normally costs 800$ per night. Not sure if I will ever spend my money staying here. Any good way to make such vacations possible. Are affiliated credit cards and off season travel the only way

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min.
