Seeing redemptions for ~1.25 cpp. Not good, not awful either. Only in 6 US states as far as I can tell, so pretty limited utility.
I’m most intrigued that you get 5x per dollar when renting these properties. I don’t think Marriott is quite as generous.
Does this new home rental thing has its own Hyatt brand/badge? (For the purpose of checking off a new brand/badge on the Brand Explorer)
Yes, they have a lot to learn from AirBnB's UI/UX. As it works now, this is fairly useless. FWIW, I have found that typing in the first two letters of a state is the best way to see all the cities available within that state. But then it's a crap shoot as far as available dates or properties.
Really just incredibly poor execution for a company of this size.
I'm tentatively excited about this. However I have to say, their URL is horrible. There is no way anyone is going to remember that from memory. In fairness, Marriott H&V has the same issue.
