Extremely difficult in the sense that you can’t swim it yourself lol.
Relatively easy in the sense that you just have to book a transfer.
I booked a private company and it was much more reasonably priced than what either resort would have charged (and arguably a cooler experience).

WestJet is a good airline, just make sure to download their app before the flight.
Their in-flight entertainment is through their app.

I used Avis and did a one way rental from Auckland to Wellington.
Had a good experience.

We did this amount of time this summer and it was fine.
They usually have a separate line in customs for people with young kids.

Just picked up 1.

Contrary to popular belief, Apple AirTags actually do work with Android.
You just need someone with an iPhone to set it up and then you can use the web tracking to find it if it gets lost.
That’s what I do. I have a Pixel and my wife has an iPhone.

It’s not a straightforward answer.
Imagine we have a 77W with F, J, Y+ and Y.
F has 3 seats open, no J seats open, 3 Y pax waiting for SWUs to clear, 3 standby pax on employee benefits (who can fly in any cabin with empty space).
No J-> F SWUs.
SWUs don’t clear Y->F in four class and AA doesn’t have to roll J pax to F to clear those SWUs so those employees get first class seats.
If there were only 2 employees one F seat flies empty.
You’re asking for certainty in something where there are a ton of shades of gray (if Y was oversold you could roll J pax to F, etc) and the gate agent is under pressure to get flights out on time.
You are unlikely to find it.
Most of the time the answer is “it depends” for things like upgrades.

I called Chase and the very helpful rep told me to enter 0000 and that it would default to credit.
It worked!
Just got a great redemption too, whew!

Most banks aside from Amex (usually) will do a hard inquiry for business cards, and that appears on your report.
They won’t post to your report as an account or impact 5/24 though, aside from edge cases like certain Capital One cards.

Why use miles?
It is less than 150 USD.
Better to fly Jetstar.
-
There are local taxis outside the airport.
Usually it’s like $30-$35 USD.
-
The store circular (available online?) or Doctor of Credit, or Facebook groups.

Honestly, it depends.
I think Hilton is WAY more rewarding for spend and points acquisition (better bonuses, even accounting for Marriott points going further), given that their Free Night Certificate isn’t capped and you can get one either with a card (Aspire) or with 15k spend (Surpass or Hilton Business).
Also Hilton is the best of all of them because of always running a promo.
Also the synergy of the Hilton Aspire/Surpass credit card is better than Brilliant or their $95 cards (unless you have the Ritz).
So I think it depends, if you can REALLY stack a lot of OPM on that card I would go with Hilton, if you’re more looking for best treatment while on the road and you can hit Titanium or Ambassador I would lean Marriott…
I think the benefits for higher end status are better for Marriott and they have more aspirational properties (Hilton is catching up not not there yet).

I have done it to meet an INK sign up bonus but try to avoid it.
The alternative is to try to move credit from another Chase Business card
