Amazon's extended holiday return policy through January 31, 2021 now in effect!

In preparation for Prime Day on October 13 and 14, Amazon has officially implemented their extended holiday return policy to January 31, 2021 for all purchases shipped and sold by Amazon as of October 1, 2020!  This means that you could have up to 4 months to return your Amazon order, and Prime Day purchases will of course be covered.  If you go into your account and attempt to return a recent purchase, you should see that it's return eligible through January 31, 2021:

This is a tremendously generous move by Amazon, as they're no doubt trying to get your purchase triggers going in time for Prime Day.  Amazon returns have now become a relatively simple process, with many product returns eligible for free UPS pickup so that you don't even need to leave your house for a return.  Free dropoff returns is available at Amazon physical stores, UPS Stores, and Kohl's, and you don't need a printer or packaging as the merchants take care of everything for you.

Per Amazon:

For the 2020 holiday season, most of the items shipped between October 1 and December 31 can be returned until January 31, 2021.


Quick thoughts

It's great to see Amazon initiate their extended holiday return policy early.  Normally, this policy doesn't go into effect until mid-November, so Amazon is 1 1/2 months ahead of schedule on this one.  It's also no coincidence that it coincides closely with the delayed Amazon Prime Day, and is designed for you to pull your purchasing trigger on all their deals.  And don't forget, you can get up to $60 in free Amazon credits for Prime Day.

Park Hyatt Sydney review

Image
For our trip to Australia's east coast, we started off with a 4-night stay in Sydney.  We decided to stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney as it has been consistently rated as one of the best Hyatt luxury properties worldwide.  The hotel, located in the heart of Sydney Harbor at the Rocks, is famous for its stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Price As a category 8 hotel, the Park Hyatt Sydney is Hyatt's most expensive award category ranging from 35k-45k points per night.  Fortunately, since we were traveling during Australia's "slower" winter season, we were able to get off-peak rates of 35k for most of our nights in a standard 1 King Bed room. Seeing how the hotel's standard rooms were over $700 a night during our stay, this was a pretty good redemption value at well over 2 cents per point.  This hotel is also known for releasing tons of free night award space, even during peak travel times.  This is atypical for many Hyatt top-tier hotels such as t...

Citi temporarily adds American Airlines as a mileage transfer partner!

Image
In a surprise move, Citi has added American Airlines as a transfer partner for their ThankYou Points (TYP) earning credit cards.  What's especially intriguing is that even no annual fee cards that normally don't offer transfers to loyalty programs are eligible for this new and temporary partnership, albeit at a lower transfer ratio.  Citi's premium line of cards, including the Prestige and the Premier, both have 1:1 transfer capability with AAdvantage miles (1,000 TYP = 1,000 AAdvantage miles).  Whereas no annual fee cards, including the ThankYou Preferred and the Rewards+, get a 2:1 transfer ratio (1,000 TYP = 500 AAdvantage miles).  This transfer partnership is valid from July 18 through November 13, though one could speculate that it could be extended. American Airlines AAdvantage program was the only loyalty program out of the three U.S. legacy carriers that didn't have a 1:1 transfer partner with any credit card accounts.  Delta has long been a transfer par...
