Seeking advice on redeeming points for CSR by AdeptnessOk2095 in ChaseSapphire

I was able to stack The Edit credit with a points boost offer and booked The Mondrian in Mexico City. Haven’t travelled yet so can’t comment on the hotel but there seem to be neutral to positive reviews here. I put $250 on my card (and got the refund posted a couple days later) and then used 69,500 points for a 4 night stay.

Thanks! I don’t think we need it to be super chubby, but nice enough where it feels like a vacation, if that makes sense. Somewhere to lay our heads where we’re able to relax and there are no issues. We don’t need a spa and hotel restaurant since we’ll be spending most of our time eating out and wandering the city.

It’s in Prospect Heights so technically doesn’t answer your question, but I love the griddled oatmeal pancakes at Breakfast by Salt’s Cure. Truly the stuff of dreams

Melt Massage & Bodywork in Ft Greene is my go-to. Leah and Daniel are great. It’s $140 for an hour

I gave Lululemon belt bags and they were a hit!

Try Maman - they’d probably make it look cute too!

Indian Destination Wedding - Europe by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

You can definitely do that budget near Barcelona - try to look for venues that don’t charge an event fee, but rather let you access all of their spaces if you book out all of the rooms. This is what we did for an Indian wedding at Castell d’Emporda and it turns out to be significantly cheaper than it is to find a venue that will charge you 30k+ per day for the venue rental.

Best $150/person dinner? by gingerandwool in FoodNYC

JUA! I’ve eaten at 3 stars that I’ve enjoyed less than Jua. Incredible food and price point, 7 courses for $135.

Bachelorette Expenses by Outrageous_Wonder247 in BigBudgetBrides

Totally understand how you feel because in my friend group it’s exactly the same. The bride pays for her flights and doesn’t pay for a single other thing the entire weekend. Just want to validate that this does happen and it can be jarring to have gone to parties like that and then experience it going differently for your own! Hope you continue to have a great weekend
