REVIEW: Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa
Hyatt Regency Coconut Point is perfect for Globalists. It is a nice resort for everyone, but Globalists save $116+ per night (assuming only 2 adults). Free valet parking, free breakfast, and waived resort fees really adds up quickly.
REVIEW: Chase Freedom Flex (2021)
The Freedom Flex currently offers a sign-up bonus of $200 or 20,000 Ultimate Rewards for $500 spend in the first three months. For a limited time, it also includes 5x on grocery store purchases, up to the first $12,000 in the first 12 months.

Why I’m Considering a Marriott Mattress Run
While it might not be for everyone, the numbers show that a 10 night Marriott mattress run is worth it for me. I will likely pay cash for my mattress run and use just under 33,000 Ultimate Rewards to offset the cost.
