Nice video Calby

Thanks Juan!

I haven't used FHR yet, however, im surprised that you get the credit upfront in the bill. I was under the impression that you get it as credit few weeks later. Good to know. Thank you for sharing!

Is that $200 per year or per stay?

[@CalbyNg]

$200 per calendar year and $100 per stay

[@CitizenZero1]

@ thanks for the reply!

My AF is posting soon and I know I won’t be able to use the FHR credit. Thinking I can book a hotel, trigger the credit, cancel the booking, and then downgrade the card to Gold. Has anyone done something like this?

[@aviationnine-tailedfox2216]

that sounds too sketchy, they might decide to terminate business with you.

[@andrewjames2721]

That’s what I was thinking, but idk how else to cash out before I downgrade

[@CalbyNg]

Interesting question; I almost did something similar, where I was going to book an FHR hotel before canceling my card and I was going to fulfill that stay, after the card was cancelled. However something came up and I went to a different FHR hotel before cancelling the card. So it all worked out at the end. However in your situation since you plan on canceling the booking, I bet you there is a really good chance they would claw back the credit. But I don’t have personal experience with doing this; so maybe someone else can provide better insight.

[@CalbyNg]

@@aviationnine-tailedfox2216 Could be a possibility

[@AnthonyVenture]

@@CalbyNgSledge did this recently actually, booked FHR, kept the booking, and then downgraded, they didn’t claw the credit back. I think this was 2 months ago. Your mileage always varies though, something to note! Not sure what would happen for canceling the stay, I think would be clawed back honestly.

Pay at hotel is great, better cash flow, you can pay with a hotel credit card which is better earning than 5X on the Platinum card.

Good points and video! That seems like a nice property and the scenery/landscape looked really nice as well.

[@theeverydailyshow]

You mentioned a correction. What were the details?

[@CalbyNg]

Oh yeah, so in the previous FHR video (Watergate) I said booking with points and card won’t trigger the hotel credit; but someone corrected me. Booking with points and card will trigger the hotel credit; is good to know.

Enjoy your videos but suggestion to try to reduce the hand gymnastics you do. It’s so distracting and reduces the effectiveness of the message. Trying to help your delivery.
