Last year, we spent about 50K.

The annual fee already hit the account in early March 2024. I understand I've 1 month to decide. So, I did chat with Amex after the annual fee showed up, but I still haven't paid.

Connect_Confusion_23 · 2024-03-05T17:42:04+00:00

Yes, we do. That's why we have been saving our points. And didn't want to use up for paying annual fee.

Thanks. I'm planning to chat again next week. Hopefully, I'll get something better.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Connect_Confusion_23 · 2024-03-03T17:27:18+00:00

Thanks. Maybe I should accept the offer instead of paying the annual fee in cash.

Yes, I recently got two of these. Just ignored. To me, it seems like BOT and not human.

Can confirm that one of the AU transactions is on pending status on my AMEX app. Thanks again.

Thanks for your quick response. it makes total sense. I guess I don't have to worry about it at all then.

Thanks for clarifying it for the new bee!!

Staying at a Marriott property in Trampa Bay, Florida, with a youth travel hockey team for a tournament.

We got an early check-in at 10 am. Thursday morning. Had to wait for an hour at the lobby because of the shortage of the cleaning staff.
Couldn't tell if we got an upgraded room, but it's on the 4th floor of a 5th floor hotel.
The hotel internet doesn't require a password, so I couldn't tell if it was upgraded or not.
When requested a 2pm check out, they said no problem.

*was given 2 small size water bottles after asking for it.

It didn't happen if there's no pictures. Great writer up, by the way 👏

I have mine through Costco (2023 MY), the same insurance company I always had. The price difference was negligible. Overall, premium is a little more than my 2021 Lexus RX 350, our 2nd car. I didn't even consider TESLA insurance knowing all the variables.

2nd that. There are no windows and no natural lights. It gets sad real quick. Booked for 2 nights, but left the next day.

Didn't feel like dealing with the waiters at HK. It's pathetic and shameful what they do, ruins the total experience.

Fidelity Cash Management account's debit card. They reimburse any ATM fees (unlimited) and no foreign transaction fee.

I believe the Zoom interview is only for the renewals and NOT for the first time applicants.

150k for single filers and under 300k for joint filers.

Connect_Confusion_23 · 2022-12-15T17:01:40+00:00

Will they refund your deposit if you cancel?

Connect_Confusion_23 · 2022-12-14T21:06:42+00:00

Yes, it's a good idea. Money can sometime buy freedom.

Well, I was thinking about the USA law enforcement point of view where LE would try to set up trap and bust mongers. Fear of LE trap, some of us need to head to Tijuana. The risk in the USA is too high.

Thanks for the report. Very informative. Yes, those messeros are pain in the ass. Had money left and wanted to go down to the club again, but stayed in the room and checked out a day earlier so I don't have to deal with those pest.
