How One Credit Card User Never Pays for Travel

I'm calling BS on this story. The miles alone for the RT tickets are about 160,000 or $4800 out of someone's pocket even if he was able to purchase the miles in one-hit (he can't with United). The Hyatt nights cost more like $2000 at quoted $50 per night and the rooms at Park Hyatt are always subject to AVAILABILITY. The United miles earned on the paid hotel stays were 20,000. That's not even enough for a coach class domestic RT ticket; let alone claimed First Class. I'm a 25+ year FF veteran and this trip, as described here, does not add up at the costs claimed. Total BS.
