I realize this isn’t news, but it just occurred to me that I never blogged about it. Anyway, many Costco locations sell 2x$50 Hyatt gift checks for $80, which is basically 20% off any Hyatt stay. Keep in mind that these aren’t gift cards, so you have to use them in $50 denominations, but they can go towards all charges on your folio at check-out, so this is quite a deal.

Now, if only I had a Costco membership, or for that matter had a Costco nearby….

    Lucky, a household may have two cards per Costco membership, but they just have to be listed on the same mailing address. You can even sign up online and then go to a warehouse when you travel.

    Don’t forget that there’s a Costco just north of SFO and that there are TWO In & Outs close by, one north and one south of the airport…

    Hyatt’s Faster Free Nights Promo is Back! - View from the Wing said,

    [...] The only real requirement is that you actually check into your room (though occasionally members find a property which permits phantom stays — that is, which posts a qualifying stay activity on a prepaid rate even when you don’t actually show up, cheap phantom stays are like gold under this promo). And as long as you’re not doing a phantom stay, you can effectively get a 20% discount on your Hyatt stays by buying Hyatt gift cards at Costco. [...]

    Huge Costco in Clearwater just on the other side of the Rt 60 Bridge headed from the airport (forget its real name). I travel to Tampa all the time and go there occasionally when I have an evening to kill, usually combining it with a visit to Quaker Steak and Lube for dinner.

    On a show yesterday was this coupon code for 25% off Angie’s List.

    Angie’s list is like a craigs list but to help find contractors, dentists, etc.

    I noticed the best rate at my Hyatt is an internet prepayment. Any way to use the gift checks to pay this?
