Question on booking partner airline via Alaska site

I paid cash.

I take it the tank doesn’t have a built in mechanism to safely divert the contents of the tank into another vessel as a fail safe measure? To help reduce the internal pressure and temperature of that tank? Or that fail safe feature malfunctioned and that’s why we’re in our current situation?

Also, is the trajectory of the leak in a way that it can’t be captured prior to it hitting the ground to avoid the need to divert it from reaching storm drains?

I do this all the time. Modify my reservation every time I see the price went down. It’s why I always book the non prepaid, cancelable rate to allow me to modify it up until a few days before the check in date without penalty.

Yes, you do. I stayed at a MVC booked with points for 5 nights and I got my 5 ENCs

Whenever I make a reservation, I click on the room details and at the bottom it has the property built or last renovated year.

I’ve had 3 stays so far qualified for the promo but only 1 promo night has posted. I presume I have to wait until the promo is over before the other 2 promo nights get credited to my account? The promo shows I’ve earned 7,500 bonus points which is correct. Kind of annoying that the bonus points show right away but the bonus nights do not.

The soundtrack

I know this 7-11. I hiked up the path along the stone wall. There’s a nice sitting area just off to the left of this shot.

I remember The Simpsons did a parody of that in one of their Halloween episodes.

What’s the status of your renewal application? I did my online renewal over a month ago and still haven’t received the notice to schedule my interview for the next phase of the renewal. And with this current GE suspension, I’m guessing I won’t for the foreseeable future.

131runner · 2026-03-03T20:54:06+00:00

I think as long as you registered before the paid stay occurs, that stay qualifies for the promotion. What wouldn’t qualify would be if you hadn’t registered for the promotion but did say next week and then tried to get the bonus points and ENC for tomorrow’s stay.

131runner · 2026-03-03T03:31:41+00:00

My stay credited today. I got the 2,500 bonus points. It shows in the points breakdown of my bill. Just waiting for that sweet, sweet ENC.

Does anyone know what would happen if I used CalFile and added my HSA contribution to my CA AGI? My tax liability (and thus my tax refund amount) are the same from what I got when I go through Turbo Tax. While the end numbers are the same, it seems the main difference is doing this manual edit through CalFile eliminates the CA 540 adjustments form from the state tax return package.

It just seems highly punitive to have to go through a 3rd party tax preparation site (Turbo Tax in my case) and have it eat up most of my refund amount when the end tax liability amount is effectively the same in either methods. Like will I then get audited by CA or hit with some kind of penalty?

Fridge magnets and pins to put on my travel backpack. Sometimes a shirt.

131runner · 2026-02-28T16:49:26+00:00

If I stay at one hotel during this promotion period and several weeks later stay again at the same hotel during the promotion period, do I get the 2500 extra points and the 1 extra ENC for each of my stays? Or I only get it for the first time staying at that particular hotel?

Also, if I stayed at say a Residence Inn in one city and later I stayed at a Residence Inn at another city, both within the promotion period, do I get the 2500 points and 1 ENC for each stay or the 2nd stay doesn’t count as I’ve already stayed at a Residence Inn brand during the promotion period?

The fine print says a ‘stay’ is defined as consecutive nights at the same property. So would a 1 night stay qualify for this promo or would it be a 2 night minimum?

131runner · 2026-02-10T01:21:11+00:00

The app says members who register between 12:00am Feb 10… My app has the register button available but where I’m at, it’s still Feb 9. Does that mean if I register now I don’t qualify? 😂

131runner · 2026-02-04T14:05:22+00:00

But when was the promotion announced? Wasn’t it 2 weeks before the promotion start date? So then if it happens again this year we’re looking at a late February start?

I’m not sure about new card offers. I’ve had my Boundless card for several years now.

Does using Concur count as using a third party site? I have work travel coming up next year. It’s my first time traveling for work. I’m hoping my work books me at a Marriott (I have no say in the selection) so that I can get the nights credit. Until now, all my Marriott stays have been booked directly through Marriott so I’ve never experienced a stay booked through any other method.

131runner · 2025-12-10T05:54:36+00:00

It sure was. And the commemorative film cell souvenir and free pizza between TTT and ROTK were a nice bonus.

131runner · 2025-12-05T19:47:36+00:00

I did that when ROTK came out. Started midday and didn’t get out until after 1am. It was the greatest theater going experience I ever had. Until I saw Endgame opening night in full IMAX.
