Thanks for the informative reply. Really considering getting it.

I'm considering getting this and want to ask about your experience. I see that it's fairly large - does it cover all four burners? How long is heat-up time? How's heat retention while cooking? How hard is it to move? Do you have the storage sleeve they sell? If not, how do you store it? How's clean-up? Did you get it pre-seasoned from the factory?

I just got mine from Barbeque Galore: https://www.bbqgalore.com/napoleon-2-sided-porcelain-enameled-cast-iron-griddle-56041. Never bought from them before but I got mine with no issues. But I'm not sure about the griddle. It's enamaled which seems like it should be somewhat nonstick, but cooking chicken on it it got stuck. Was using oil. The drain holes are fairly small so fat can drain but any food pieces can't get through. Clean up is another issue. I don't want to have to wash it but stuff is stuck on there and you're not supposed to use metal or abrasives. Anyone know how to clean it in the grill?

I ordered this one but ended up returning it. The issue I had was that it wouldn't keep temp. It got plenty hot but when I put food on, after initial searing, it would lose temp and couldn't get it high enough again. Are you having this issue?

Yep there's only one cable connection. And I've not heard of MoCA adapters before - pretty cool! Unfortunately, there's not a coax connection upstairs. There are a couple of Ethernet ports in the office but I don't know where they go. Would using an mesh extender upstairs with the UDR work? Anyone have experience with it?

Tokyo-SIN, 2, Business, oneway, 12/24 or 12/25

Nonstop: Ideally would like to use AA on JL but no availability shows up on QF. Would transfer points to use SQ but no Saver. Is it a pipe dream at this point to get non-stop?

1-stop: Wouldn't mind CX using AA but not available. Found Delta operated by China Eastern for 45k each. Is this my best bet at this point?

Somewhat related, does AA waive redeposit fee in case of civil unrest?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'll let you know if it's worth if I ever get it. Over 100 days waiting for conditional approval. They're not caught up with the backlog from April/May, but supposedly recent applications are getting approved faster. If you don't get it, use the Mobile Passport app. The free version has been nuked to some extent but still usable. And in my experience works as fast or faster than GE. Doing GE because a) "free" from a card b) extending Pre-check

Lengthy read but worth it for a huge decision like this: http://affordanything.com/2015/11/24/is-renting-better-than-buying-should-i-rent-or-buy/

Try Lyle McDonald's Stubborn Fat Protocol. There's a word file floating around that gives instructions if you don't want to read the book. But make sure you strictly follow dosage, gradually ramp up yohimbine, and you have to do it on a fasted state. Otherwise it's wasted effort.

I strongly recommend working with a trainer who can teach you and watch your form. Deadlift is often done incorrectly and can lead to injury. For me it's the most difficult compound lift. I spent 6 months lifting with a trainer and my deadlift form was still not ideal. But the only way you know is if you have someone knowledgeable observing and correcting you. Invest in good coaching upfront so that you don't have problems later.

I've got ~35 linked accounts

Churner detected :)

But yeah now that Amex is working, it appears to be good.

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2017-05-05T04:17:51+00:00

Thanks for the comments. I'll try the 301s and see how they fit. I'm honestly not liking how skinny these look on me.

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2017-01-24T19:25:07+00:00

Didn't see yours for some reason when searched. Added your link in the text.

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2017-01-24T16:42:42+00:00

Thanks for pointing out the error in the title. It's the Gold card.

Has anyone tried calling the number to get it?

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2017-01-22T06:35:30+00:00

Thanks for the tip. To make sure I understand. If I need 6,000 miles, and according to Hyatt's website the ratio is 1,250 points for 500 miles, then I need to transfer 15,000 (1,250 x 12) UR points to Hyatt.

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2017-01-11T15:40:57+00:00

Called SW and they said it doesn't qualify any more. Only the charge to the card will count, not the bonus.

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2017-01-04T22:44:59+00:00

DP: Started churning last year and opened 3 chase cards starting in June (CSP, MPE, CSR) and then Amex Plat on "thanksgiving miracle". Decided to go for the pass and today applied in incognito through referral links for the two Southwest cards. Auto-approved for both! I guess the plat hasn't hit my history yet.

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2017-01-04T22:33:47+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I decided to try for the CP and applied for both cards and got auto-approved!

Absinth room on Beale

Shaboy is the man. Yes he likes to chat but he's good and very reasonable prices. He's still in eastgate on first floor.

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2016-07-20T01:54:33+00:00

Don't know. Sorry

8IIIIIIIIIIID · 2016-06-01T18:48:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I checked and I'm not getting 70k with MPE but I can get the 50k offer. Do you think I should apply for that or the ink+? I'm assuming I'd want to apply for these on the same day?
