Four Points by Sheraton Vancouver Airport

Last year when I was looking for a cheap points redemption in Vancouver, one of the properties that stood out was the Four Points by Sheraton Vancouver Airport.  At the time, it was an SPG category 2 property requiring just 4,000 points on weekdays and 3,000 points on weekends when it regularly goes for ~$140 USD giving a fabulous redemption ratio of ~3-4 cents per SPG point.  It has now (as of 9/7/2014) gone up to a category 3 property requiring 7,000 points per night which is still reasonable but not as good of a steal.

Park Hyatt Paris Vendome

Its been a little while since the trip but I'm finally getting around to posting the pictures of my stay at the legendary Park Hyatt Paris Vendome, one of the top hotels in France. As we went during peak season at the beginning of July, rates were quite high at $700+ per night for a Park Queen room and I was very glad that I was exchanging two night earned from the Chase Hyatt credit card signup bonus and another two nights at the incredible rate of 22,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points!  (which have since been raised to 30,000 points per night)
