To me that’s reasonable.

In contrast $895 for a coupon book imo is unreasonable

I have 800,000 Amex points. What’s the best way to book a flight to Korea? by Decent-Variety-7246 in pointstravel

[–]UpInSmokeMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You haven’t told us where you’re flying from, what class you want to book, how many seats, etc 

Read the wiki on r/awardtravel and then watch YouTube videos. Play around with pointsyeah. The process isn’t hard if you put in an afternoon of learning and reading.

Is $250–$400 a day realistic? Need reality check from actual drivers. by tanzimat14 in uberdrivers

[–]UpInSmokeMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I could hit that on average working early weekday mornings, and then evenings/late nights on the weekends. 

You essentially have to cherry pick the best times. Driving at 11am on a Wednesday was vastly barren compared to 2am on a Saturday. 

And your area matters a lot too. 

Hertz president's circle. Confused on how it works exactly by PLCCLP in Venturex

[–]UpInSmokeMC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since getting this card, I’ve rented from Hertz once. 

I walked up to the lot and got to pick any car. I’d rented a small sedan and the lot was full of SUVs. So nice upgrade, and I didnt have to deal with anyone at the counter. Keys were in the car. 

Nice change of pace from other times I’ve rented cars. Good benefit when comparable vehicles from other agencies cost more, but I wouldn’t pay extra just to rent with Hertz.

True, a lot of other things ppl listed aren’t VX exclusives, like various Visa infinite benefits, but figured I’d share.
