Is there ever a bad time to go to San Diego? I went to college in San Diego, and experienced great weather year-round. According to SanDiego.org:
San Diego is renowned for its idyllic climate, 70 miles of pristine beaches and a dazzling array of world-class family attractions. Popular attractions include the world-famous San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park, SeaWorld San Diego and LEGOLAND California. San Diego offers an expansive variety of things to see and do, appealing to guests of all ages from around the world.

Of course, you’re going to need a place to stay. I’ll give you a couple of great options:

What credit cards could you use to book a stay at Ventana?
So the question, how does earn 60,000 Hyatt points? You don’t have to be a frequent traveler to earn these points. In my case, it’s all about having the right set of credit cards. The following credit cards could make this easily possible:
World of Hyatt Credit Card

Chase Freedom Unlimited

How to earn $200 cash back with Chase Freedom Unlimited

The catch with this card? The points you earn are Ultimate Reward points. With these point, you can use the Chase Travel Portal and book. HOWEVER, you CANNOT transfer your points to a travel partner such as Hyatt. So, is there a workaround? Yes. If you carry a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can transfer your points from your Chase Freedom Unlimited to your Sapphire and then be able to transfer to a travel partner.
Other cards that earn Chase Ultimate Rewards
- Chase Freedom
- Chase Ink Business Preferred,

These are all excellent cards that earn Chase Ultimate Rewards.
