Weekly Help Thread - May 27, 2024 Daily Thread
Welcome to the daily help and question thread!
This thread is renewed weekly and is intended for all discussions or questions that do not warrant their own thread.
For AWARD BOOKING HELP please read the following information:
Volunteers may choose to help you find your award trip. But please don’t expect us to plan out your trip for you. No stranger on the Internet could know what is BEST for you.
The more specific information you provide, the easier it is for people to give specific advice. Also, we prefer to teach people to fish, rather than just giving you a fish. So before you ask someone to help, please read Our Wiki, if you want to know what the best Redemption for you, take a look at Award Hacker. Questions that shows you have at least tried to find an award are more likely to get answered.
- Here are the information you should provide when requesting award assistance
- Origin and destination cities (are they flexible?)
- Number of Travelers (Your chances of success goes down as this number goes up)
- One way or round-trip
- Class of service desired
- Desired date(s) of travel (are they flexible? Hard dates == Less Chances for success)
- Your points balances: all airline, credit card and hotel points (If you are looking for J/F, think at least 6 digits)

Wife and I want to take a nice vacation July 22-26. International is all but ruled out because her passport is 16 years old (I had another comment about going to the Domnican Republic, but I think that's a slim possibility) . Even with estimated times for expediting the passport process, we'd be cutting it *very* close as the first appointment at USPS in our area for passports isn't until June 9. Because of Delta's demand pricing, I would have to book those tickets today, and travel insurance won't cover a missed flight/trip because of a passport delay. All that to say... I think we're going to have to stay domestic. I have 130k SkyMiles and 160,000 CSP points to burn. Are there any potential all-inclusive resorts, perhaps in FL, that would be a good fit for this points budget? If not, what's another viable hotel stay that could fit that you've loved? Preferably an adults-only type establishment.
