As a new parent, one individual found creative ways to manage stress and maintain elite status with a hotel rewards program using credit card points. This approach allowed them to balance parenthood and leisure simultaneously.
Maintaining status levels in hotel rewards programs usually requires considerable travel or spending, but the individual wanted to hold onto the Hyatt Explorist status even while traveling less due to their new parental responsibilities. The Hyatt Explorist offers benefits like room upgrades and bonus points but requires 30 qualifying stays or $10,000 in spending annually.
To maintain their status, they devised a plan to book periodic one-night stays, or "staycations," at their local Hyatt Regency, alternating with their spouse to enjoy nights of respite from parenting duties.
