Thanks to @SouthFayetteFan and all the mods for keeping up the dischurners on reddit. I love that we can support each other and share news! So thanks again to all!
I've never been to the Hyatt Regency but I didn't really like the PCC luau. We loved the 'Aha'aina luau at the Royal Hawaiian. Wanted to do the Aulani one too but you do eventually reach a limit of time & luausFor those that have been to Hawaii, I am looking for some luau recommendations. We'll be in Maui for 5 days and then staying at Aulani for 5 days. After my research I'm leaning towards:
a) Drums of the Pacific Luau at the Hyatt Regency (Maui). We'll be staying there for 2 nights.
b) The luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center (Oahu)
c) No luau
DH and I have been to a luau before and could skip it this time, but my kids (4 and 6) really want to see the fire dancers. I could book both of the luaus mentioned above with UR points.
Thanks for any advice!
we stayed in Maui at Marriott Wailea.... they did a luau a few nights that week on the lawn near the Grand(?).... we just wandered over the beach path,sat in the chairs by the little campfire pit and relaxed and watched the show a bit.... no one in my fam would want to watch the whole thing anyway,so I just enjoyed it from afar (for free) which was fine for me....(I honestly didn't watch it all,it was long lol)For those that have been to Hawaii, I am looking for some luau recommendations.

I spent some time this weekend trying to figure out how to get my family (DH, two youngest kiddos, and myself) to Hawaii next summer (2021) on points. I have a little over 100k AA miles right now, and will hopefully have the SW CP and around 100k+ RR points by the time I can book. Looking 11 months out I was able to find economy one-way flights on AA from Wichita (my home airport) for 19k AA points. It looks like if my DH were to sign up for the two personal AA cards (Citi and Barclay), he could earn 100k+ in AA points in SUB's (he will not get biz cards), and between the two of us we'd have enough AA points for round trip (assuming the points costs don't change dramatically in the next seven months or so).
So, to get to my question - with all the scary stuff going on with Citi right now, do you think that's a bad idea? It doesn't seem like that's breaking any rules, right? As a back-up, I could possibly get a personal Citi card, although I don't really want to use a 5/24 spot on that. I could also use SW if needed, although I kind of prefer to save my SW points for FL trips Any other ideas on flights or Hawaii in general? Thanks for any suggestions!
Hopefully not too crazy then! I feel like the week before and after Easter is always the worst combining the holiday with spring break!No, it’s March 14-18.
There was a post on r/churning about it this morning that pretty much addresses what @magickingdomprincess was asking:@SouthFayetteFan and @gottalovepluto might have better insight. This might be a discussion better had over in our secret place.
We did Ka Moana Luau at Sea Life Park. We very much enjoyed it, not that we have anything to compare it to though. We had purchased Go Oahu cards to cover all of our activities and it completely covered Luau.For those that have been to Hawaii, I am looking for some luau recommendations.

Dh and I quote that commercial all the time to each other. Whenever it’s loud somewhere we say “it’s very loud here. Are we in a Zumba class?”I'm the exact opposite,I'm always quoting the Geico "mom and squirrels" commercial.... It's what Moms do!!! Either way gets the eye rolls anyway
Just posted a question on DisChurners based on this read.There was a post on r/churning about it this morning that pretty much addresses what @magickingdomprincess was asking:
I'd recommend all who are interested in this topic give that a read.
Has anyone called Chase to try to change your card to the CSR? The annual fee is still listed at $450
they are holding it until today (the upgrades) I bet its 550 now its just not updated.Has anyone called Chase to try to change your card to the CSR? The annual fee is still listed at $450
We are looking at going the end of May. United has 30K Economy Saver fares. It would take us 240,000 for round trip + about $550 in fees.United can have some good last minute saver deals, I’ve been tracking United to Europe for almost 2 years and the best time to book is a few weeks out during the school year. Have you learned about the excursionist perk? If not, google it. United can be a great deal.
I will add a Yay to that.Thanks for all the replies about if I should get up at 4 am to book FP. I counted 5 yays and 2 nays. So I guess I'm getting up at 4, lol.
The plan is just me and the kids, no DH. Just thinking what if at the last minute, he decides to come. I read somewhere that guest services was able to copy over all the FPs. Has anyone asked them to do that? Wondering how likely that it or more a pixie dust thing.
Hi guys! I'm way, way behind but dh and I are taking a little trip for our anniversary next weekend. We're staying at the Boulders Resort in Phoenix with our Aspire free nights and I'm wondering, can we buy a gc at the front desk to use up our resort credits? TIA!
Yes if your resort carries them!
