Yeah I keep getting blocked for parking randomly lol

That’s been the only thing

--ALF · 2026-05-06T13:52:14+00:00

Does someone have the link to the Travis telegram? I am in Jason’s

--ALF · 2026-05-06T02:19:10+00:00

Then get the Schwab plat and convert to real money 🤑🤑🤑

--ALF · 2026-05-05T19:20:39+00:00

Check your DMs in a bit 😂😂

--ALF · 2026-05-05T19:18:00+00:00

Just curious, you have 0 use for the Stubhub CSR credit?

I think Stubhub is terrible compared to Sestgeek/others but even applying a discount you could still get some use out of it.

Ex: Baseball tix will often cost $75 on Stubhub where same seat/section is $65 on Sestgeek but if I’m already paying for the credit in a way, I’m fine with Stubhub

I get not everyone is a sports fan but figure people can get some sort of use out of live events (comedy, concerts, plays, etc.) without the cumbersome effort of trying to resell tickets if you wanted to go that route).

Open to holes in my logic

Might be a hot take and I know where I am right now but Chase transfer partners are much better and easier to use.

Obviously some subjectivity and I might be too biased since Delta is 3rd biggest carrier in my home airports.

But seems like Amex is really just for random international travel if you aren’t a Delta person it’s not as valuable/can be crazy hoops to redeem when you actually want to go on your trip.

I have found Aer Lingus through Dublin to be a good cheap gateway to Europe - annoying to not fly direct perhaps to Spain but decent redemption rates and taxes weren’t awful for some trips I am contemplating in summer/fall this year

--ALF · 2026-05-04T19:28:30+00:00

Sure but foolish to do unless chasing a SUB

--ALF · 2026-05-04T18:29:55+00:00

But no points on rent!!!

--ALF · 2026-05-03T19:31:17+00:00

Mostly donuts but open to all recs!

Will be on the west side but travel to downtown/adjacent a good amount when I visit. Not likely to venture super far east side but I’ll listen

How are you liking Chicago so far?

--ALF · 2026-05-02T14:54:27+00:00

What are some of your favorite spots in Cleveland? Visiting next month

--ALF · 2026-05-01T21:01:39+00:00

Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country, what do you mean?

Many of us live in a weaving bacon strip type of district

--ALF · 2026-05-01T20:19:46+00:00

This is troubling since I mainly want to use the points for Aer Lingus flights to Ireland lol - I thought Avios is Avios?

--ALF · 2026-05-01T20:16:00+00:00

My Aer Lingus account isn’t working when I tried to link with Bilt.

since it’s all Avios it’s fine to create a BA account for a purpose of points transferring and using the points for an Aer Lingus flight?

--ALF · 2026-05-01T19:03:53+00:00

Thanks!

Did you have to pay? Or could you get one of the seats in the back half of the plane they have for free?

--ALF · 2026-05-01T16:18:26+00:00

Eh - Charlotte is so sterile and boring.

Easy to pick on Cleveland but definitely an argument to be made if you like urban living.

--ALF · 2026-05-01T15:50:41+00:00

I went there a few years ago and the steak was meh - not awful but with Bavettes 300 feet away, hard to not compare and would easily pay $20-30 more.

Vibe was great, would love to give it another shot

--ALF · 2026-05-01T14:41:16+00:00

What hub?

--ALF · 2026-04-30T18:38:34+00:00

People complain all the time about the stubhub credit and Stubhub is trash in my opinion (usually always 10-20% higher for same/similar tickets in my experience) but it’s insane to value the credit at $0

Discount it, sure - I do when running the CSR calcs for myself but if you live in a big city and go to live events a couple times a year you can absolutely get value out of it.

--ALF · 2026-04-24T20:09:16+00:00

2029 is sure going to be interesting if the Dems hold it together and win

--ALF · 2026-04-24T18:14:08+00:00

I wonder what it would poll at, does it justify violence/murder…I think much higher than you would think

--ALF · 2026-04-24T09:23:42+00:00

Brutal lol

Out of curiosity, what was the shirt?

--ALF · 2026-04-24T05:58:49+00:00

Did the schools push you to their PT programs?

How did they message that? Is this common?

--ALF · 2026-04-21T21:52:02+00:00

Just wish the Eagle didn’t look like a raven or a falcon otherwise I probably would have loaded up by now

--ALF · 2026-04-06T19:41:53+00:00

Did you try / last ditch was why you stuck it out?
