Wanted to share a successful credit card point redemption!

Signed up for Chase Ink Preferred for 120k sign up bonus. Combined that with some other Chase points to send 140k to Hyatt. Booked the Andaz Tokyo for 4 nights. Cash price $4.4k. Not a huge fan of cpp valuations, but would be about 3 cpp which I'm very happy with. Heard amazing things about the property, so even with no status or GOH, I'm very excited! Another reason why travel points >>> cash back.

140k Chase points transferred to Hyatt was approx $4.4k worth?

Thanks! Hyatt is one of the easiest transfer partners. More beginner friendly than finding flights. I did a very similar redemption last year too. Some people only use Chase points for Hyatt, then they use other points (Cap One, Amex) for business class flights.

Nice job? When is your travel?

Hey really appreciate the thought!

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
