What would you do if all you needed was one single point to top off your frequent guest account?

This is the exact situation that FlyerTalk member Vader is currently experiencing in order to accomplish adding one measly point to top off his or her Hyatt Gold Passport frequent guest account. Is this even possible? If not, what is the point?

If you find yourself staying at such lodging chains as Days Inn, Ramada, Knights Inn, Travelodge or any other member of the triprewards frequent guest loyalty program, now you can earn American AAdvantage miles.

Of course, as always, you can choose to earn miles from your choice of six other airline frequent flier programs or Amtrak.

For additional details and information, please see the tripRewards (Super 8, TraveLodge, Days Inn, etc) now gives AA miles thread.

Help UNITED959 understand why you do (or don’t) cash in miles just to fly.

Juneau that FlyerTalk member Nobbi has been over a Barrow looking for advice as to Which city in Alaska? one should fly for a long weekend?

In all Fairbanks, I believe that the Anchorage of an Alaskan vacation should be based on what one likes to do and see, although there has been Nome mention of other Alaskan cities.

If one can affjord to go to Seward, I would recommend that location, although one may want to Homer in on other Alaskan locations.

Do you believe that I have been Whittier lately with what I have been posting in The Gate?

FlyerTalk member Jon Maiman is not kidding around when he says that he wants to know whether or not to put his one-year-old daughter in a car seat as they travel on three flight segments in each direction aboard aircraft on their itinerary when they travel to Hawaii this summer.

Buckle your seat belt and post your advice in the To Car Seat or Not To Car Seat, That is the Question… thread.
