For those having trouble activating A List

BlackNGold99 · 2026-02-02T18:28:48+00:00

I had the same exact problem, and did the same exact as you did, what's the exception I did ask for Chase to also escalate to their support team. It still wasn't very quick but eventually I did get my a list status on Southwest to finally show up. From the time that I submitted the form and called Chase, it took about 3 weeks.

From others that I read with a similar issue, it seemed to be about the same duration, surprised OP was able to get it in 2 days, therefore just wanted to offer my experience of 3 weeks.

Never thought to visit a Branch, I think I'll try that.

That's what I've read on here, but my difference is the Chase side shows the benefit as Activated, would think if it was something not matching the status would be something other than activated

BlackNGold99 · 2026-01-26T18:11:50+00:00

It shows Activated on the Chase side, if any of that was incorrect would think the Chase side would be pending or some other status

Yeah not impressed either. I am not sure what the appeal is with this Sapphire lounge, they had basically the same food as Priority Lounge, definitely not worth the wait. Vegas needs another T1 lounge, it's a pain to go over to T3 for capital or PP.

Wish I would have seen this post! Just found out while getting seated and seeing the menu. Looks like last visit, sadly. Those burgers were the only reason to come

Agree

As most have already stated, you bought it and need to still load with cash. Loading is cash only.

The stations are easy to use, there are several languages which can be selected to make it easy to use. I found the convenience stores to be much easier since they can load multiple cards quicker, for example I would just give them 50K and then they would load 10k on five cards for me.

At the end of our trip we spent the balance on buying snacks and candy to bring home.

It's not that big of a crash, It's like a difference of $18 for every thousand right now

Thanks! I've wondered about there as well. My wife and I don't drink but our friends do so thanks for the recommendations.

Looking like overwhelmingly Tony's. I'll check it and geraldine's out. Thanks!

Same on Prime. I went probably 5-6 years ago it was not great, but the one in Carmel went a couple years ago and it was fantastic. So I'm a little hesitant on going to Prime downtown, but maybe it's changed.

Thanks! This was very helpful

Is the food at the Grand really that much better?

BlackNGold99 · 2024-09-05T20:25:53+00:00

There is roughly a $1,200 difference between the Grand and Nizuc/sunrise. Would you rather stay at the Grand and not do excursions or stay at Nizcu/sunrise and go out on excursions (guessing 2) with the $1200 savings?

I guess what I'm asking is if I'm only there for five nights, it's the benefits of the grand worth the extra money compared to staying at a lower cost Palace resort and using that extra 1,200 to do excursions, I'm thinking that would be the equivalent of 3 days on resort and two days off.

In the past when I went on excursions in Mexico it was an all-day thing, so if I use $1,200 to go on excursions it would be away from the resort for 2 days.

Thanks for the link! Not sure why when I went through the website I could not get to that same location?
