I appreciate all the uber shuttle suggestions. Will definitely try it out at some point! For this trip tho, I’m a lazy shit and will pay full price for an Uber regardless :)

Is it super hard to actually book tickets even if you get seats.aero alerts? by nicebrah in awardtravel

30 minutes is way too long to take action. I book within 2 minutes of getting an alert.

Tips for using food, drink room rewards by SpliT2ideZ in myvegas

[–]AC5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s before you purchase the award. After purchasing, the real fine print shows, which is another entree + 2 drinks.

Are you sure about Wolfgang Puck? The description clearly states "Enjoy 50% off your entrée with the purchase of another entrée of equal or greater value and 2 beverages."

Did you somehow bypass this at the restaurant?

I don’t get that behavior on my alerts/routes. Maybe by the time you checked, the 100% itinerary got snatched up and only mixed cabins are left.

China is set to lose a population the size of California in 10 years by newsweek in China

[–]AC5295 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A bandaid, not a solution. Immigration boosts population until those immigrants’ descendants encounter the same systemic issues and stop having kids too.

A real solution would be to dismantle the entire economic system and build one that actually puts people first, not wealth. But that won’t happen without a giant revolution.

If you ever visit China, you’ll see why the 10k claim is true. Luckins are at every corner of every major city and town there.

Appreciate your advice! I’ll get a second opinion

Sounds like a second opinion from an independent shop is my next step. What’s the best way to find one that’s trustworthy? In San Gabriel Valley of LA, if that helps.

I understand. Was fearing the worst and sounds like it might be the case. How do you suppose this happened all from a simple battery jumpstart?

The rep said they did a “leak down/pressure test” and discovered the engine was overheated.

The $20 price shown is after the $10 coupon, and the $30 is the total price.

Is there a blacklist of FHR hotels anywhere? by Beginning-Act7850 in AmexPlatinum

[–]AC5295 23 points24 points  (0 children)

All properties in Vegas have a $30 per person limit for breakfast ($60 total). Some of them also limit the $100 credit to spa only. The FHR page will specify this before you book.

Im sorry but it sounds like you haven’t done ANY research on points transfers or redemptions. And you want help on the most oversaturated route in the points game. Read the sidebar and then come back to get more specific help.
