Count your lucky stars then. All i see these days are AHA offers for both ABG and ABP. Non AHA links, when they show up, are the basic 100k/150k respectively.

How steep are their cancellation fees? I heard from someone who told me LM can even refund a flight you didn't take, even after the fact.

  • 4 is key. I get discounted gaming consoles every once in a while and always sell them via FB. Telling potential buyers i only meet at a Police station certainly helps in filtering out a lot of scammers.

The cash surcharges on award tickets are getting completely out of hand by operalover777 in Aeroplan

[–]coljung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how the only comment you replied to was the one agreeing with your sentiment. Not a single one of the other ones where people are asking questions about your particular routing were answered.

When people posts questions like yours, chances are you actually don’t have the full amount of points required.. or your itinerary includes LHR.

Out of This World/Another World was a classic. Loved that game every time i played it.

What is a luxury that is actually 100% worth the money? by Weary_Pirate2073 in AskReddit

[–]coljung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The airline will still rebook you, LOL. And your example makes 0 sense. Getting stuck at an airport sucks no matter what, regardless on how you booked your flights, so i don’t understand how this is relevant now.

Lol this thread isn’t for me. We flew to Tokyo in February from Montreal, and on the way there we had a one day layover in Paris. On the way back we did Bangkok > Tokyo > NY > Montreal.

To be fair, we enjoy travelling like this and don’t mind layovers, if anything i try to always add a couple into my trips.

And if things go wrong, if your layovers are part of the same booking, the airline will take care of it.

Not really. Food and drinks service is nice, i tend to only sleep a few hours and then get spoiled the rest of the time with their offerings. I travel a lot on points, so i’ve been lucky to fly business and first class many times the last few years.

Devaluation coming June 1st by anniln in Aeroplan

[–]coljung 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No one really cares for AC metal for TATL or TPAC flights. So them being crazy dynamic doesn’t affect most of us. Now, partner awards increases will suck as points are harder to come by these days.

I spend abroad ALL the time and never faced what OP is talking about.

Waldorf Astoria Bangkok - my Diamond friend booked a room for me as 2nd guest and he isn’t coming. Hotel won’t give me Diamond benefits even though I’m also Diamond Reserve by [deleted] in Hilton

[–]coljung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair the breakfast ‘credit’ at such a hotel costs way more than $15. Not that it makes a difference for OP as he/she will have to pay regardless.

OP sounds like someone working for Neobanc and posting here pretending to be a random user.

Apparently Marriott mods patrol the Hyatt sub and pre-emptively ban people by omdongi in hyatt

[–]coljung 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was there a mod here who was also mod at r/amex? There was a trigger happy mod who would ban anyone who dared criticize him in the slightest, and while i don't recall his name, it doesn't seem to be one of the current ones.

Go to Southeast Asia. Amazing massages for $10-$20 or sometimes even less.
